Or they can actually fall for each other as the time goes by and they become closer with each other? what do you think? based on my experience, i have had a lot of guy friends and well i have never really felt i am attracted to any of them. i mean its really a completely different thing. you either get attracted, turned off and just be friends. what about you? what do you Think?

In my poinion,It's very hard to keep the simple friend relation ship ,I had many good guy friends before,but at last some of them want to be my boy friend ,and some one just alienate me for some reason I don't know,maybe two people get together too long,they either get bored with each other or they like each other much more so they want to become closer. That's what I think ,wish you happy.

I totally agree with you. The worst thing is that when someone (the guy or the girl) begins to fell attracted for the other, the friendship is ruined. At least for me, I'm not the same on the friendship after that this happen.

I think it is possible cause I also have guy friends and I don't feel anything for them that is more than friendship. But there is nothing wrong if you fall in love with your bestfriend. I think it is better because you already know him/her hence it is a good foundation for a relationship.

I think that's good when your bestfriend likes you too! Then the relationship have everything to work out! But when the other don't feel the same thing, is pretty much the end of the relationship.

yes they can be just friends although most of the time in my case it always turns out closer and then more unless the guy is already attached then I avoid meeting him or talking to him unless it's necessary

A guy and a girl can definitely just be friends, no malice at all. I have a guy friend, I eat lunch with him at school, sometimes the whole day we're together. But we're definitely just friends, I treat him like a brother. I love him but no malic at all. It's the same to him, we're just really real friends and it's really possible for a girl and a boy to be really just friends just because you enjoy being with each other.

I honestly don't believe in true friendship between a girl and a guy. Maybe because I never had one, but for me that's impossible. I do believe that a guy and a girl can be friends, but not true friends, not someone that you can tell anything and trust no matter what. I think that at some point, the guy will feel attracted to the girl, or the opposite.

It's a case to case basis. Not all the time you get in love with your friend sometimes you suddenly fell in love with your friends. It really depends...

Hi! I do believe that a girl and a guy can be friends without having malice at all. I have a few guy friends and I certainly don't feel any attraction to them. Well, I have this one guy friend who I thought was nice when we first met but we just became friends because as I know him better, I realized he wasn't my type. But there are those who I became friends with at first meeting and still friends with until now and we're not developing any romantic feelings for each other. My type of guy is not them, and their type of girl is not me.

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the feelings of very close friends and lovers, which is where a lot of friendships will fall down in the end. If both of the friends have the same feelings then they will find things a lot easier, and this can certainly happen. My three best friends are male and I can honestly say that I have never seen them as anything more than a friend the entire time that I have known them. However one of them has asked me out before and I just told him that he was mistaking his feelings for me because we're so close, and that he should concentrate on other girls. We're very good friends again now, although it did take some time for him to adjust his feelings.

I think a guy and a girl can be friends. If they are not interested in each other and they don't really spend time alone with each other, they will be just friends. However, if they both take an interest with each other, they will start spending more time together. However, if they are not interested in each other, they will only treat each other as friend and they will stay as friends. Like you say, they either get attracted to each other or just be friends.

I've been experiencing the same thing. I have a friend, a girl, and we're the best friends. We cannot spend time without each other, share everything. When we cannot meet, we're either on phone calls or texts. But we don't find attraction towards each other in that way...we just understand each other too well!

I also have had lots of guy friends, and for me it always needed to be addressed at some point where we stood for each other as one person has always felt more than the other at some time. Im very open so it was always easy to address But yes i am one of those people who tends to be more attracted to friends

I think that a guy and girl can just be friends. I also have a lot of guy friends and most of them are purely platonic. It just does not necessarily mean that if you are close enough to a guy then you two will end up liking each other. Some girls find that they are more comfortable with guys than girls. Some just refer to their guy friends as one of their brothers. As long as you are enjoying each other's company then there's no malice to that at all.

They can be just friend and they can also fall with each other if they wanted to. First of all love strikes to whoever, it can be your boss, you neighbor, your classmate or even to your best friend. If you cant feel love to your best friend like you wanted to marry him, well that means you can be forever friends or even best friend with no malice at all.

I got more guy friends than girls. My best friends are mostly guys and that is without malice, so I think that is fine and ok. We even go out or have an out of town trips without any other women around. I feel safer with them.

well I have lots of guy friends & there are no malice between us.it's pure friendship...and it remains like that....there are also instances wherein friends fell in love but it's actually between them.if they felt feelings for each other,then it is much better since they started as friends & they already know each other very well...

I have a guy friend that I've been friends with since highschool. We always would be together when we become classmates in different subjects but ever since, the way we view each other is just plain friends, nothing more. Like you, I never got attracted to him.

In my nature of work, I am surrounded with a lot of guys. Somehow I end up getting friends with them all. I have not fallen to any of them either, most of them are married anyways! Either way, I dont think it's necessary that a guy-girl friendship will end up in a romantic relationship. Realistically it all depends on the people involved. Personally, it had happened to me at the past. My very good friend who is considerably older than me, courted me. He said that "it just happened". It was'nt planned or anything, he just fell for me and I did too!So we ended up having a romantic relationship for some time. After wards, it just didn't work out because of the "distance" factor.

I think at one point, they're going to fall for each other at some point. It might be just one-sided feelings where the other person doesn't feel the same, or it could be mutual. But I really do think it's hard for a guy and girl to be just friends. If they become really close they start to find characteristics that are attractive in the other person. I'm sure there are cases where guys and girls can be just friends and don't feel anything more than a friendship. In my case, my boyfriend and I started off as friends because I really wasn't looking for a relationship. But after talking to him and spending more and more time with him, I found out what a great guy he is and we fell for each other.
