If you are visiting one friend, you could say: "¿Podemos venir a verte (de nuevo/otro día/otra vez)?"
But, if you are calling your friend (you're not with him), you should say: "¿Podemos ir a verte?"

Okay... so, if you are their house (the destination) you can say "venir", and if you are not at the "destination" you use "ir", correct? - NikkiLR, Feb 26, 2012
Correcto :) - Cordobesa, Feb 26, 2012
Had to double check to make sure I had it right... thanks! =) - NikkiLR, Feb 26, 2012
You're welcome, Nikki! :) - Cordobesa, Feb 26, 2012

Wouldn't you use IR here?---
¿Podemos ir a verte?
The RAE has a very simple but good explanation:
- Venir Moverse de allá hacia acá
- Ir Moverse de acá para allá
I also found a thread about this in WR... it seems that some native Spanish speakers use these interchangeably... (even though you are not supposed to.)
