Senior Year boyfriend-3 month relationship, very mutual breakup, we did the check-in thing several months ago, and that's about the extent
Last official boyfriend-8 month off and on relationship... He got engaged two weeks ago, and we talk once or twice a week. We were best friends for a while after we "officially" broke up (yes, it was complicated) but then it was a matter of both of us getting different priorities
I think you can be friends, but usually if you're really over the person, you don't really care to be friends with them, anyway

Trust me - if you every have a breakup from a relationship that's YEARS long, instead of months - these others won't seem like ANYTHING anymore. Most likely, you won't even feel awkward around them.
I used to feel awkward around the guys I dated for a few months, and then I dated the EX for 3 1/2 years, and all those other relationships don't even seem to count. I think I would still feel weird around him today, even though I'm married and he's engaged.
