Can guy & girls really be friends??

This keeps coming up alot these days. Can guys & girls really just be friends without either of them wanting more??

I think guys & girls can as long as it's a environment like class or work but outside when it's just u & them alone in your room then I don't think it's as innocent as people make it out to be on both Parts. It's Human nature....

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • Yes. Friends with benefits.

  • By your logic, bisexuals can't have friends. Just because you're attracted to someone doesn't mean you can't be friends with them.

  • My guy friends are like my brothers. They are separate from guys I'm physically attracted to and have relationships with.

  • I have had (and still do) some very close female friends.
    It depends on the foundation of the relationship. If your relationship is founded in a sexual context, the nature of your friendship will change. Unless you form a life-long loving bond, that friendship will usually end when you separate.

  • i think they can if they've gone through the "i think i like you" phase, have gotten over it, and are still friends

  • It's possible no matter what orientation your friends are. It just depends on the people and how the relationship formed.

  • If the girl is not so good looking, then it is very possible.

  • I have had quite a few male best friends with nothing sexual happening. Hell, I don't hug unless a special occasion lol. Unfortunately, my bf doesn't think that guys and gals can be friends so I'm forced to be nice to girls. blah.

  • Yes guys and girls can be just friends. I don't mean to sound rude but there are many factors that have to be at play in order for someone to find the other attractive. If you don't find the person attractive then you probably will not develop feelings for the girl. Also, if one member of the friendship begins opening up his feelings then he has solidified the friendship. The corner stone of friendship is trust and honesty and when one person begins opening up then the friendship has been cemented. In conclusion, a friend and a mate can have the same characteristics but there are many factors that have play out in order for feelings to develop.

  • I have been in social groups with females and haven't had those thoughts with them, so yes, it's possible.

  • Of course they can. I'm a straight guy, and I can name at least 3 perfectly attractive close female friends I don't want to have sex with.

    • Tell me: if one of those female friends would try to hook up with you: how would you react?

      • I'd tell them I wasn't interested.

        • That's great. But I still think these kind of friendships between men and women are uncommon. I can only think of little men who'd do the same thing as you would. Since you wouldn't have sex with your attractive female friends, I guess it's possible (though unlikely in most cases)

  • Taking into account asexuality and homosexuality - yes.

  • No its not possible, unless one or both are lesbian/gay. If its 2 members of the opposite sex, who are straight the friendship isnt the same as a same sex friendship. There would have to be some sexual tension. And usually what happens is one person ends up emotionally attached to the other and the other one hurts them very badly because of it, you know the old rhyme of "I just like you as a friend" translation: I am not attracted to you.

    Being friends at "work" or "school" is slightly different, that can work, provided all interactions are JUST at work or school. And also its not really being "friends" more of just being "social".

  • No! Especially if you're married.
