Can men and women be just friends?

?

 

sure..why not

 

no, fuck all of you.

 

Of course, but lets say you had a crush on the other one, and they rejected you but still wanted to be friends, it would be hard. Ive been on both ends of that deal.

 

Yes. Absolutely.

 

Yes, but remember sometime I will be picturing you naked

 

As long as there is no sexual tension between the two then yes

 

i think they already know its always..not sometime

the first step to good friendship is honesty

 

You can imagine me naked in all my hairy glory allll you want

 

Yes for sure

It definitely helps if they are not attracted to each other, but that's not even a really big deal

I have a friend that I think is really sexy, especially when he smells sweaty and unwashed (he must have some exquisite pheremones). So sometimes he gives me a hug and he smells like I want his babies.

No big, I just sit where I can't smell him when we hang out

 

now you're just trying to turn me on

:mickey:

 

Sure can, I have female friends and dont have a sexual relationship with them.

 

For sure, but unfortunately not in a lot of cases..
i think eventually the sexual attraction would mess it up for one or both of them. Especially if you connect on a very deep level, ya know?

 

Yes, I agree. This is difficult, it can feel very awkward to both.

 

yes, but attraction can complicate things

 

Yes of course if there is honesty and open communication. Just keep talking. If one feels emotionally unstable then talk it through and try to grow from it? I think if you keep honest open communication about every lil insecure thought etc then each one knows exactly where the other stands. I would love to have heaps of male friends. Not to be intimate with them all but just hang with guys and do guy stuff sometimes rather than girl stuff. I have no brothers, so i really miss that connection. I have managed to have sex free close male friendships.

 

Yes attraction can complicate things. If you talk about the attraction and can somehow compartmentalise it, then you might leave room for a beautiful thing? Each situation is unique. As long as no one is getting hurt it should be good growth.

 

It can only work while you're both single. Once one or the other of you gets a romantic partner it all ends. No one is fine with their boyfriend hanging out with some other woman or their girlfriend hanging out with some other guy even if it is "just friends".

And realistically, if you're both single someone almost always has a crush on someone anyhow.

 

My best friend, and self-appointed older brother is, obviously, a guy. And we've been best friends for years, and our friendship has just grown stronger. When we first met we tried going out, but we soon realised we weren't cut out for a romatic relationship. Even during the time we were both single, we weren't attracted to each other. So yeah, friendship can exist, if that's what you both want

 

If they're both attractive not really. Sexual tension means it's not just friendly.

I'm sure two ugly people who don't want each other can easily be friends.
