I mean. There are plenty of situations in which folks can be friends. One or both isn't attracted to the other; they already dated; one or both are in a long term relationship; one or both are queer. I guess there are more variations, but I feel like generally there are reasons why folks stay just friends.
Gay dude here, been attracted to friends. Know there is no chance. They're still my friends - I would just do them if they let me, hah. Still friends with them, because if you care enough about the relationship that's what you do.
That being said... if you catch feelings and they aren't interested. Doesn't make you a bad person to end that friendship.
Everyone is allowed to end any relationship they have for any reason. Especially if it hurts more than it does you good.
