Not possible unless both people are unattractive and also not attracted to each other. Its just no point to be in a "friendship" where you know that person wants more but you don't. Or even worse you want more but they don't. The worst is when 2 people who are attracted to one another form a "friendship" while in relationships. Thats not a friendship thats a plan B.
Theres a difference between friends and people you are cool with. Friends are people you can call or hang out with alone. That usually leaves out opposite sex friend possibilities in the adult world post-college. I can't/won't/shouldn't hangout with my girl's female friends and vice versa even tho we get along. They just people I'm cool with.
Also sometimes you just have to choose whats more important....your current relationship or your opposite sex friendship? Nobody wants their partner out on lunch dates or texting people of the opposite sex. Its a respect thing. And the friend should understand that also. The only time there's issues with accepting the fact that you can't be so personal anymore because of your relationship is when those "friends" secretly mean more.
So basically no we can't be friends because somebody is always scheming or jealous. Its just better not to entertain it.
