writes:I've never been friends after break-ups with my past ex-boyfriends, but this time, I want to stay as friends with my ex-boyfriend. And he seems like he feels awkward about the idea and does not hang out with me after the breakup. Is being friends after the break-up not possible with ex at all?

 I think it is possible to stay friends but only if it has been a mutual break-up as otherwise there is alway one person who has been hurt and it is best to make a clean break.
You have been happy to let the other relationships go probably because you ended them maybe this time it has been his choice and you are hoping you can get his affections in another way but in my opinion it would be best to split completely because inevitably you will both move on to new partners and more than likely one before the other and if it is him who has a new girlfriend first it may be quite painful to take.
I think given time maybe a few months when you have both moved on sufficiently you will be able to have a friendship but by this time you may feel it is unnecessary anyway.
Hope this is helpful x
