You can be friends. Though that usually evolves into loving the other person or hating them. I had a friend in high school who chose to marrya friend of his for convenience. They both agreed on that arrangement and we friend at first, but ended up falling in love anyway. They are still together after almost ten years.
It did not matter if there was no love between them, as she no longer put stock in something as unreliable as love.
