Hi.
That is not right.
I know a lot of people think on those lines but that is not right at all. I have a friend "Neha". We are together for some 8 years now and we are just friend. She knows my love and I know the man in her life.
We are just really good friends.

Real friendship is possible irrespective of sexes.If two males can be friends,why isn't possible for two women to become real friends.Friendship is love in other eye.

According to "When Harry met Sally" I think the answer is no. According to Will and Grace the answer is maybe. LOL who knows? I think the only way I can be is if I am absolutely not attracted to the man. But then he sometimes is attracted to me. I don't know if I have ever had a truly platonic male-female friendship (not that I slept with all, but at least one or both of us were attracted to each other).

some times friendship will lead to love.but not always. some limit is there in such type of friendship.if both were married,may be their partners would not allow them to continue their friendship.

well i kinda agree with you and kinda don't. Friendship between sexes do exist and i also think that it can lead to someting more.
but in order for a relationship to develop they both should want to be together.
if not, i don't think the friendship should end.
i guess it all depends on the person.

Of course they can. A man and woman can develop a friendly, sibling-like bond, where they'll feel like it'll be wrong if they go into a more intimate relationship since it'll be like they are having relations with their brothers or sisters . So yeah, it's possible.

I believe it is possible to have strong friendship between sexes. A pure friendship is between sexes is something I consider as something next to impossible, hard to achieve. My opinion is based on personal observations. My observations may be flawed or valid only in certain societies.
I have seen it once too often where a man and a woman started having a strong friendship. At the beginning they denied having any special relationship, only as best friends. Years later they were happily married and have produced children. It even happened tp my first cousin.

I have friendships with guys over the years, without it becoming something else. I know the girl friends or wives and we are all friends. It just has to be understood from the beginning.

I think you can. I might not have many friends but I don't see why a guy and a girl couldn't be friend.

I have had a lot of guy friends. In fact, I get along better with guys than girls. However, I can still see your point. I have had to deal with letting a lot of my close friends down, and I even lost my very best friend over a failed romance (after being friends for some 17 years on and off)

Hi, I dont think man and a woman can have friendship without love.. As the friendship and bonding grows, the love automatically blooms, which ends in a marital relationship or a physical relationship. Eventhough, they dont have anything as love, people around them may encourage them to fall in a relationship..So its better to be friends with same sexes..
