Friendship, Platonic Relationship, Can Guys and Girls Be Friends ...

This is a question that seems to be coming up over and over again: Can boys and girls really ever be just friends? I?ve heard a lot of different opinions. Most guys I know say that it?s not possible ? that one of them will always want to be something more. But at the same time, a lot of girls I know say it?s totally possible.

So we?re coming to you guys for opinions. We saw this post in the message boards and wanted to see what more of you thought: can guys and girls ever have a totally platonic relationship? Or will there always be the hint of something romantic? Read what these girls had to say and then tell us what you think in the comments.

Do you believe that males and females can?t really be just friends? Why or why not?

I?ve asked myself the exact question. And I?ve come to a sort of conclusion. I think that yes, you can be friends or best friends with a guy, but that it will never be just that. I have a guy best friend and he is in love with me.

Yes they can. I have a ton of friends who are guys ? we eat lunch together, play video games at each other?s houses, have deep philosophical conversations about everything. But I?d never date them. I don?t feel that way about them at all. Maybe it?s easier not to because we all hang out in a group, but they?re not my type, and most of them don?t want a girlfriend or anything anyway.

In fact, because we?re so close without a hint of hidden feelings, we find it easy to talk about sex and such very matter-of-factly. It?s funny that most of the people I know who say guys and girls can?t be just friends are, in fact, guys themselves. One of my ex-BFs still gets jealous when I talk about male friends at all because he just can?t fathom that there wouldn?t be something more.

My opinion? Being just friends with a member of the opposite sex is possible ? although it can definitely be difficult for some people. When your close to someone who you think has an awesome personality, it can be easy to start to fall for them and blur the lines between friendship and more than that. Sometimes it?s really easy to confuse your platonic feelings with romantic feelings. But even if it?s not the most common thing in the world, that doesn?t mean it can?t happen.

Who do you agree with? Do you have guy friends who you don?t like? Do you think it?s possible? Tell us in the comments!
