Yes it is possible. The most important thing is not to cross the line and make it something more than friendship. If this happens you open yourself up to a whole lot of drama usually.

Till now, I still believe that there is pure friendship between man and woman. Sometimes, friendship turns into love in the end, but not always. Maybe it is the manner we deal with it that matters instead of the issues itself. But I still admit that friendship may easy turn to love.

I have listened to the elders, watched my friends and had some experience to come to the conclusion pure friendship between a man and a woman can exist. Whatever is pure cannot last forever. What can exist is a strong relationship. In a friendship between a man and a woman, sooner or later there will be changes in at least one of them. In most cases they do not even realise that changes are taking place. Usually it is the outsiders who start noticing the changes. In many cases both are affected but deny that their feelings are developing into something else more serious. How do you know he was just treating you as a friend? The thinking may be mutual. This is one of the reasons why one side goes looking for a different partner. Be certain first before blaming yurself. all the best, rosdimy

yes it is possible. i do not understand why people do not tink it is possible. i have a very close guy friend and we are not at all attracted to each other. Pure friendship is possible. But for some people it is not, i guess.

I believe that there can be pure friendship between a man and a woman. When I was at college I had some male friends. I kept one of these for years after leaving. He split up with his long term girlfriend I suggested he went off traveling. He did and he had a fantastic time. One time we drove over to look at where our college used to be. As I got older each man got married or was in a live in sort of relationship. A few years ago I made friends with an older man and we got on so very well. I moved areas but we still keep in contact. To have a friendship feelings need to stay platonic. Love can ruin a friendship between two friends. There is a difference between a friend and an ex boy or girl friend. Pure friendship is excellent.

Hi there, and welcome to Mylot! I would have to say that yes pure friendship is possible between a man a woman because, love/friendship, is different from physical attraction and a physical relationship. As I was reading the other responses, it struck me, that no one else has brought up the concept that there are many different types of love. There is a love that I have for my mother and father, or my immediate family; there is a love that I have for very close friends and there is a love that I have for an intimate partner. As well as many other different types of empathy and caring, which are all along the spectrum of love. The love of I have for my mother, is very different than "love" or concern I may have for a sick neighbor. Also, romantic love, for a partner, is a very different kind of love, then that of a friendship. The other thing that struck me, well reading this discussion, was that no one has commented on the difference between thinking and acting. Many many times we think things, or they just seem to pop in our head out of thin air. While we may not be able to control those thoughts, we're certainly capable of controlling our actions. Just because we have a thought, it does not mean we have to act on it! It's just my opinion that it's not our thoughts or our actions, that reveal a person's character. It is a combination of both. And the bottom line is this, I always have control over my own actions. That's just my 2ยข worth. Happy Mylotting!

yes there is ^O^. Because I have a buddy that really like a brother to me. My personality of friendship are too strong. And it will not change me even though he is very handsome and caring and of course you will be bless if you have a such kind of friend. We were a classmate so we were helping each other with our study and subject then we did not really understand. This makes us getting closer and we vowed ourselves to be friends forever. Actually believe me, do not date your best friend. This happened to my both friends. They secretly dating behind us and they broke up and now I doubt they talked to each other since both of them already married to others. My friend told me she regretted it and lost a friend that can share with her. But it's too late. So just keep clear and choose what kind of relationship you want. Friend or Love???

My own experience proves that a woman and a man can never have pure friendship. after knowing the person for long, it would be very difficult to continue with just friendship. attraction would occur. only fear of destroyin the friendship prevents most from expressing it............

well i mean i guess in some cases but most of the time it seems like there is always a physical attraction between every male and female frienship. and its kind of hard to get past the fact that you have feeling for maybe one of your best friends

where is the harm in it...if u find him attractive & know him that well...i think u have every right to fall for him. But i also feel a man & a woman can be good friends keeping aside the infatuation part. i am a man & my best friend is a woman. we have been friends since our college days. If u feel for ur friend,i think u should go for a relationship. because the dictum says to be a good lover ,u should first be a good friend.thank u.

yes i believe with that, i have a women friend from elementary school till now, and we now like a family, she always help me when i need her help and so do i help her. so friendship is important than a relationship between man and women.
