NO. Trust me when I say this. I tried being friends with my ex (we were good friends before the relationship), but it never worked out. We eventually got back into a relationship and it just didn't work that way either. Save yourself the hurt, and don't try to be friends with them.

Why does your ex want to be friends?

Staying friends with an ex seems to be the all time trend these days. It is not a good idea. 'Ex' means the relationship is over and both parties should go their separate ways. There is a very low percentage of couples who break up staying just friends and not having sexual contact. Exes often want to be your friend to keep tabs on who you are dating. The ex feels they can go their own way, but their ex partner cannot so they want to keep up on who that person is seeing. Also some exes want their freedom to date others, but feel the need to have their ex to fall back on or have a sexual relationship with them without any responsibilities of steady dating or staying married.
