When I was a high school student, I loved to help others very much. Once there was a boy who I thought clever while sometimes he got very low mark in maths. I was good at maths so I began to approach him and tried my best to help him not only with his maths but also with his emotional affairs. We became good friends ever since. But meanwhile, many of my classmates said we were in loving affairs. I was annoyed because I beliebed there was true friendship between a girl and a boy. Do you believe it?

Yes there is but there is a thin line between friendship and love to a girl and boy, just reminding you that it is very very thin.....

good day. I would like t believe that friendship is possible between a guy and gal. But you know sometimes things can get complicated because they tend to fall in love with each other.

If the other changes that pure feeling, things get complicated, I am sure.

For me yes...Ever since in high school I used to have a closed friend who is a boy...And its really nice to have a friend from an opposite gender cause you get to know a lot of things from them and they care much for you...But, there are instances also that I fell something from my friend but still friendship prevails...hehe

Yes it is very much possible. I have male best friends too. I did also experience what you experienced. I have had a very close male friend in college and my classmates thought that we were a couple. Even my boyfriend then actually believed I have had a relationship with the that friend of mine. Even if I explained to him and to my other classmates, they find it hard to believe that there's no "romantic connection" between the two of us. Then I thought that I don't owe them an explanation. What's important is that you're friendship doesn't break just because of what other people might think about the two of you. ;)

That's good. But did your boyfriend understand you at last? I pray for that.

hi snow! well, i think so ...i think it can happen that guys and girls can have pure friendship. in church i have good friends who are guys. and there is no problem. and well yeah, i have met my hubby in church, too. but yeah, we can have all good clean fun if we choose to. but of course, we have to stop considering that every guy and gal that we meet is a potential mate. because that would really upset things. good day to you girl! :) God bless you!

Sometimes friendship could be construed as romantic relationship. Well you know what your standing with him and i do believe he knows that too. Enjoy it and just ignore those that tells otherwise.

Everyone here seems to have guy and girl friend relationships. In my experience, the guys don't want to be "just a friend" and I have to be careful what I say to them. They think because I'm nice to them, they can be with me in a relationship. It was easier in high school and college. The girls never liked me and all my friends were guys.

I'm puzzled after reading your respond. And I don't think you express yourself clearly.

Yes, I do believe in it but remember one things: at one point or the other this type of friendships either do turn into something deeper, a relation, or they get colder.

Absolutely YES!!! I believe that a boy and a girl can be a true friends... Actually, I have so many friends who are GUYS not GAYS, ok! I also have a best friend who is a Guy!!! We were friends since high school... We met in one of the activities in our school and he became my partner then that starts our friendship... Until now are still good friends but we see each other sometimes now not like before.. It is because we are both working now... Actually,when I was in high school I have a crush on him after being so close to him... He knew it but our friendship still continue.. Even though I like him so much before, I tried to control my feelings for him because I don't want to lose our friendship... Sometimes, other will say that we have a relationships that we are not just friends but more than friends.. No matter what people says, no matter what people think about us, we just ignore it because we know that we are just good friends... Other people are so much malicious minded... They were thinking or saying something without confirming it to the person involve to it... That's how a person is and we cannot change it... If I were you, just ignore what people think about both of you... Because both of you knows the truth.. Don't let your friendship affects what people say because that will be the cause of fight and misunderstanding...

oF course you two can be good friends with no romantic thoughts. Other people will frequently misunderstand the friendship between a boy and a girl as love or romance. But if the people involved are clear about it and remain friends then it can happen. Romance is completely different from friendship and dont listen to those around you when they talk like that. It might confuse you.

I definantly believe tath true friendship can happen between a boy and a girl. I'm a girl who had little girl influence most of her life. In middle school the people that I would sit with, and were and still are my friends, were guys. I never thought anything about any possible relationship such as boyfriend/girlfriend with them, not even once. It is not really a problem if you two don't see each other in that way. That is what I feel.

Yes guys and girls can be friends. My best friend is a girl. And i am not gay. But we talk about almost everything together. Also, her boyfriend is a real good friend of mine. So he doesn't care we are best friends.

There is definitely true friendship between boy and a girl. Me and my best friend are proof for this. We have been best friends for around seven years now, and never been romantically involved. Actually I prefer girl-boy to girl-girl friendship. It eliminates envy, jealousy, boyfriend stealing, gossiping behind your back, and so on. Plus a guy would never (or almost never) lie to you if your jeans make your a$$ look fat, if your hair doesn't look good, or if they don't like your new boyfriend. And they are definitely better at keeping secrets. Some are even good at giving you a makeover (yes I am talking about the straight guys).

You show true maturity. There is absolutly friendship between males and females. I personally hung out for the most part with females in my school days. No hanky panky or touchy feely just friends. We went everywhere, did things together. It's easy to confuse a good friendship with a personal relationship. Isn't that what all friendships are , relationsips? Just not intimate ones. Kudos too you for helping out your friend, don't listen to the snickering and rumors so long as you have told them the truth and you and him both understand the truth, your friendship should last a long time. A+
