If you start out as friends with someone of the opposite gender, can you “see” them as more than a friend, namely develop romantic feelings for them or do you get stuck in how you classify someone at the beginning of a relationship?

And in the opposite situation, if you begin as romantic partners, if things don’t work out, can you see the other person as “just a friend” and continue a relationship with them?

No and no.
