can girls and guys be "just best friends"?

I think men and women can be just friends. I was fortunate to go a school that had more guys than girls so I had many more guy friends than girlfriends. We would give each other advice about the people we each were dating. I think it's great to have guy friends!!

I disagree, especially when at least one of them is in a committed relationship. My best friends are a couple and neither of us is like that. The majority of my friends are guys, in fact, and I am a girl. I think that people are paranoid. Maybe that is how it is for some people, but I know for a fact that a guy and a girl can hold a platonic relationship. Not to mention the fact that not everyone in the world is even straight.

I've been in a close relationship for 56 years, and yes we do have feelings for each other. I married my best friend - if she had been anything else we would have never married. I really can't understand what your post is about? How could people stay married if they weren't best friends, and who would marry anyone who was anything else but a best friend? What do u mean - "no feelings?"

Everyone starts as just friends. while I think it is possible for a woman and a man to be just friends, I personally think that ultimately No. while in the beginning the friendship may be platonic, time and emotion has a way with us and I think one will have develop stronger feeling for the other, and eventually want to be more than "just friends"

I guess you can be more than just friends with the opposite gender. I don't know what that would be like. I think some people can get along just fine with the opposite gender and become friends for a really long time. Some people would just be uncomfortable with the arrangement. Then they wouldn't be friends anymore with anyone.

It depend of each character. I had a friend who is very friendly and had a lot of friend. She looks very close with some man in friend of her. They look comfort each other, but love never happen. They just like to share each other, go together, but they had their own dating. They had been friend for years, but never happen falling in love. It's abosuletly "just friend"

We have many diffferent kinds of relationships in our lves. they all have different levels of being. i think it is more than possible for guys and girls to ne just friends wirh each other. It is all about how you care for another person. every relationshiop that you have with someone does not hve to be a romantic one.

Well they could be. Anything in this world is possible. And in fact there are many people out there who are opposite sexes and pretty friends, with absolutely nothing sorrid happening behind the scenes. It really does cause many people's heads to spin but it is very true. It is very possible for men and women to be friends, just friends, and nothing more. Of course, the real question is, will people believe it? I think the answer to this would be not for most of the case. When a man and a woman spend time together, there are always going to be people who are going to wonder. There are always going to be people who are going to talk. There are always going to be people who are going to jump to the wrong conclusion. Then again, that is really the nature of life, people will always believe what they want to believe, even if its not the truth.

I don't think that's possible,coz,i have personally experienced this kind of situation,i never even dreamt that i will be falling in love with the one i consider my best friend,but,love is really a beautiful feeling,a unique feeling,falling in love will really make everything beautiful.

I agree with you. It's really hard to be "just friends" if you're super close with a guy or girl friend. One will start falling for the other. They might just keep it to themselves. I think that the deeper you know a person, it also makes it easier for you to love that person.

haha.. dont think so because even women nowadays fell for each other..and also that man to man thing...
