A break-up implies that you two are no longer compatible. Even if you remain friends, the resulting awkwardness would be unbearable. I say separate and get on with your lives. It'll good for both of you.
No. the last 4 times ive broken up with a girl ive always said we can still be friends and never spoke to them again, not on purpose it just happens.
At first i didn't care but if i break up with my Girlfriend now its because of us fighting constantly or her acting differently. So would i still want fighting to continue aftewards? Nope and i'm positive it would so i'd cut off all contact at that point.
I think it depends, if you were originally friends with a person, then going back shouldn't be too hard. If it was some random who you decided to go out with relatively soon after meeting him/her then you probably shouldn't bother.
Never had the experience myself, but I've had friends that stayed close to their ex after breakups and I've had some that never wanna speak of them again. It all depends on the circumstances of the relationship and the breakup as well as the maturity of the people themselves. It's possible you'll remain close, but it'll always be there in your mind somewhere.
Well, do you actually want to be friends? If so, then go ahead with it.
If not, start treating her like crap. Be as sexist and macho as possible. Make it clear you're not giving her complete power over your relationship. Best case scenario, she falls for the bad boy attitude and hooks back up with you. Otherwise, you drive her away and it's no big loss.

One of my ex's said she wanted to stay friends - first time she visited for a "catch up" like a month later she went bat shit crazy when I said I had a date, jumped on me and bit my chest.
Safe to say never saw again.
I think her version of "lets be friends" was "let me try and worm my way back in" - when that evidentially wasn't going to happen I think it tipped her over the edge.

If I'm in a deeply emotional relationship with someone and they break up with me and say lets be friends, I have to tell them to leave immediately. Its just to awkward, you're always gonna think about those times in a relationship that you had with said partner.
It depends on the relationship as far as I'm aware. I tend to avoid anyone I get close to after, and some people were only ever really just friends anyway so it was alright.
I say, it depends on the people, the circumstances etc.. If it's going to work it will. If not.. meh.
But you know, be civil etc. If you still see them through circumstance, saying Hi won't hurt anyone?

Nope, not me. I've actually only had one ex and we tried to just be friends after. Though, something went wrong somewhere and we ended up flat-out hating each other. I now despise the bastard, after I realized how much of a jerk he was (putting it lightly) and he hates me because...I don't know. I think because I'm the one that broke it off and then kept rejecting him after that. So yeah, we have some bitter feelings. :/
But not everyone's like that! Some people do get lucky and actually can be friends after. It's just...a little rare.

i got the "i just want to be friend" line from my first girlfriend but i wasn't quite on the same page, as in i didn't particularly want to stay friends with the girl who dumped me
so it was a case of i only talked to her when she talked first, not in a horrible way, nicely but probably still obvious that i didn't really want to talk
