Do you think it's possible for a guy and a girl to just be friends?

Of course. I have several female friends who I'm not sexual attracted to.

Yes...ask Matt!!!
and Brian
and Maarten
and so on and so forth

OOOps! I didn't read the part about sexually attracted to...
I mean, all my guy friends are sexy...
oh..nevermind....

Yes. I've many platonic relationships with women!

How would you know? You've never seen me!

Of course. I live with one

Lets see a picture

I'm not sure...that's why I'm asking

Okay, but if you had a significant other...would you go and stay at the house of another person of the opposite sex, for an extended period of time? ie: a week?

Sure. You don't fudge your male friends either, do you? Or do you?!

Of course.

That's different...unless you're gay you wouldn't have an attraction to your male friends, therefore you wouldn't want to fudge them!!

absolutely and without a doubt

I think they can be, but I don't think that the relationship will be very similar to a guy/guy relationship or a girl/girl one. So yes, they COULD be just friends (I find this to be rare), but not the same as same sex ones. Of course, my experience is limited to people under 25, so I can't rightly say about people en general, just kids. I have no doubt that I would have an entirely different opinion if I were 85...

It is possible, only if the male and female aren't best friends, but more like acquaintances. Sex is always implied with my male close friends, whether it is through innuendos or straight out proposals-so no if they are close and yes if they have more of a superficial friendship. But I can only state from my experiences and no one else's.

No! Men and women cannot be 'friends.' I feel that either one of the parties have an "interest" in the other in order for them to have a friendship. My daughter had a friend (male) who she has known since high school. My daughter has always thought of this fellow as a friend (on the surface). However, this fellow "loved her" and admitted it many years later, even wanted to marry her. I think my daughter always knew, but she always called him, her "Bud." This young man, up until she married, asked her to marry him. Even when he got married, he talked to my daughter about it. They were confidants. I told my daughter later, that it is important to be confidants to the one you marry. My big mistake was discourage her from getting involved with this young fellow because he was involved with the music industry. I thought "no show business" people in the family. The fellow turned to be a multi-millionaire and wasn't in the type of music business I thought. He has several companies having to do with music, he himself is not in show business. He unfortunately married a woman who "took him for a ride." Even though my daughter and he are both divorced from others, I know nothing will ever come of their "friendship." Too bad, because he is a good guy, a dedicated person to the one he loves. They are still good friends. It's too bad they or should I say, my daughter, couldn't have recognized that their friendship was really a love. NO I do not think a man and woman can be "just friends."

If they are both straight, no, never. But if at least one of them is gay, then yes. It is possible.

Staying at their house is a different story. I think it does present a challenge. But if you are truly committed I think maybe it could be possible, but be careful on the amount of time you spend. You never know what may happen, i.e. alcohol can be a factor.

You need to move into the 21st Century, darling

Why is this multiple choice?

Yes it is! My best friend is a man! He's the nicest, sweetest man on the planet, besides my boyfriend, and every day I thank God that he's in my life. Hare Krishna!

After I lose 60 pounds (helth reasons. HONEST!), remove these zits, fix the gap in my teeth (Can you say, Letterman?), and dye my hair black again (I think I look better with black hair), then I'll post a picture of me, until then, don't ask.

Go back to the top of the comments and read my statement. For example: mandy and I have NO sexual interest in one another. She is in a committed relationship, and I'm on my way towards one (cross your fingers), and we would NEVER end up in the unfortunate situation your daughter (whom I'm sure is a nice person) ended up in. Of course, the age gap provides us both with a decent advantage. Unless you think old people and young people can't be friends either.

Re: Your response to Wicksy



a wise man once said "I am the soul not the body" *winks at Richard*

I'd love to see your picture, heavy or light...zits or no...black hair or green....You don't have to be perfect...none of us do....

Yeah, it's possible.

So sorry....I put yes and no.

Of course. Why not?

One of my very closest friends is a guy, no lines have been crossed. We have been friends for over 10 years, and will forever be.

I have many male friends that I feel no sexual attraction towards.

But my mind still wonders "what if?"

of course they can, whether or not they're attracted to one another. how ridiculous and limiting to think they can't.

I think it would be very rare for guys and girls to be just friends. However, among older people, and I do mean older people, it is very possible and quite common.

absolutely. In fact I tend to get on better with guy friends than I do with female friends.

Yes,especially when one is gay! I have a friend who is gay and it's great! (As long as we don't talk about sex. Yuk!) I apologize to those I offend, but, two men or women doing it makes me cringe.

:)

sexy boi!

I must say the idea of 2 women is rather erotic, but 2 men YUCK!

of course. i'm a girl and my best friend is a guy. there has never been any sexual tension. he's gay.

I hope so! I have many friends who are women. I don't think that a certain amount of sexual tension precludes being "just friends" however. What matters is how you behave. Either way, I know it is possible.

I meant to reply earlier but got sidetracked! Yup, the men thing is out,you have your thing; the only option I have left is to find a way to build a meaningful relationship with a Macaw. Before you think it's silly, just think about it. I could tell him what to say and do,and if there was any lip, I could just stuff him back in a cage and ignore him. The possibilities are endless!

yes...but ONLY provided there is no sexual attraction involved. if there is some kind of sexual attraction involved in the relationship, then no, it will absolutely never work as just a friendship. It may start off okay, but will only end up in disaster. i am speaking from experience.

Yes and no. there may be sexual tension even if it is on a subconcious level.

Of course!
You can also be just friends when there is sexual attraction, too.

Yes, I have been friends/am friends with lots of guys. In some ways, they make better friends than women, because they don't get as catty, and they are less likely to steal your man

I don't know

Most of my best friends are guys!
