Can a guy and girl 'just" be friends? I asked this question to my friend, and I am curious to know what others think. They (whoever "they" are) say it is impossible for a guy and girl to just be friends. They say either boy or girl will find some deeper feeling with the other. What do you think? What is your experience? What was the result? Thanks for sharing! ^_^

i think the answer is yes. Especially when they together with their partners are familiar with each other, they can be just friends:-D

Of course this is possible. Why it shouldn't? Its funny because for me it always end up in a normal friendship and never with feelings from each side hehe. So I'm the total opposite then the other users who replied. So don't be shy to meet with girls. They just will be your friends. You should not think that serious I think thats the biggest problem. Just be friends with them and just do not think that something could change in your feelings. Just get along and be easy and not too serious about things like relationship. Then nothing will happen. :)

It's seems impossible to me.Everytime I make friends with a guy,I end up liking him or being liked.Some say it's possible and may have a lot of friends who are not sharing the same sex(not sure if I got this one right).But the thing is ,deep down inside,they always know that there's something between the two of them.They just choose to ignore it because it's not very obvious most of the times. So,if you are a guy and have a close famale friend,then you should know that she likes you more or less.

Here's another question. Can friends who have been sexual with each other, really only ever be friends again? I think they can. Also, is it wrong to have sex with your friends? (obviously people in China and Islamic cultures will say it is wrong, but what about people who are not from those cultures?). I think if you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, why not? But does having sex change the friendship to a different relationship? I think it does, I think one person always wants more than the other.

It is possible yes, but it is also natural that we all want to be with someone of the opposite gender (or same gender if you're homosexual of course). Platonic friendship is only possible and sustainable if both people truly only want friendship, there is no need, and no attraction to each other. Otherwise it does become about being close enough, at the most opportune time, and sex will follow. Here in the UK anyway, I know other places around the world are different. The thing is as well, women turn men down all the time, because men are always approaching them, so sometimes men want to use friendship as a way to get closer to a woman. Is it possible to be platonic? Yes, absolutely. Is it common? I don't know :D
