Actually, I am still friends with several of my ex-girlfriends. I would be friends with a few more, but my girlfriend does not approve of them.
It is usually a bit hard at first. Its best to wait until the emotions clear. That way you can be relatively sure it stay just friends, otherwise it may become a bit creepy for one party or the other or even both.

Why would anyone want to remain friends with someone who hurt them very deeply? Move on after you've had a chance to heal...that way you won't bring more baggage into another relationship.
