I think it's great that you both decided to be friends. Are you sure that he is as enthusiastic about being friends as you are, though?
If you are unsure of this, I would suggest that you take it easy. Maybe wait a week or so before you ease into a friendship. The point is to take it slowly. It can be painful or weird at first if you have dated for a long time. Even if it is an amicable break-up, it's still an adjustment.
Good luck. :)
