I was in love with a group therapist once. I knew about transference but I wanted her to be my one on one therapist. I decided against it because of transference.
Personally I do not see anything wrong with being friends after therapy or even during therapy provided the therapist is able to maintain very healthy boundaries. This may be unethical though because it would depend on how you perceive the friendship and the fact you would probably want more out of it.
