Can men and women be just friends?

Yes, of course. I have friends, men and women. You're right there are times that there are awkward moments because some of them fall for each other but they just stop what they feel because they want to lose the friendship. It happened to me many times.

I do think that men and women can be close friends. Some of my best friends have been men. The problem lies when we get boyfrinds and girlfrinds that don't approve. Can make it a little tough then.

yeah i believe its possible.. i have more male friends usually than female friends because for some reason i get along better with them.. since i have been married like 10 years all my male friends i have had in that period of time never became anything else and before i was married very few did turn into anything just because it always ended and ruined the friendship. i think its sad when people dont think you can.. just shows how lowly they think of their own emotions that they think they wouldnt be able to control themselves etc

I think that men and women can be just friends. I am a woman and one of my friends is a man. We have been friends for 11 years, and there has never been anything but friendship between us. He is a great friend, but I have never been in love with him or attracted to him. If we were supposed to become a couple, I think it would have happened many years ago. I can't imagine falling in love with him, so he will always remain a friend to me.

ofcourse men n women can just be friends if they dont have other feelings inside.

yes really and why not,it depends on the mentality of a men or women,men and women can also remain only friends throughout there life if they hardly decide to remain so.also it depends on the time duration they are spendind with eachother and also on there mental behaviour.

I believe only if there is no interest or attraction what so ever between them, as we do have animal instints and I believe no one can fully ignore them 100%, it is what is keeping our species going I guess...once upon a time I would have said yes they could be but i found out the hard way, we humans can have weak moments.

I have lots of male friends,more then womens, it always been that way. i was a tomboy when growing up .like to work on car and play baseball,football and hunt,fish so i got along with the guys better.i still have lot of male friend,i still can call them any time

Of course we can as long as we know our limits and remember don't take your friends for granted.

i think they can, i have a few female friends and we are just friends. i look at them as sisters so it would weird. but yeah i see nothing wrong with it at all.
