Just friends??

I do think its possible. I know many people who are strictly platonic friends! Its about being honest with your friends and respecting their boundaries if they don't feel the same!!

Oh! I can relate much to this discussion I have a close guy friend. You know what happen? I accidentally fall for him. But he doesn't feel the same. I mean, were meant to be as friends only. It started when my friends start to tease us because we're just that close that every time were together. That made me fall for him. I don't know why. I easily get fall in love but with my choice of course. Hehe. Until now, were just friends. But that made me start to move on. :)

Yes, boys and girls can be friends without being romantically involved. Either they do nothing for each other sexually in which case it's easy, or they just have to use a little self control.

I think that it is entirely possible to say the very least that a boy and a girl can be just friends and nothing more. As a matter of fact, a few of my friends have been girls over the years and there has been nothing between us other than friendship. Granted some people are always going to talk. That is just really the nature of life. People tend to really like to spread a lot of rumors about people. If a boy and a girl are together, they have to be something more than friends. Granted its not always something that is true, but people will talk. However it is possible, very possible indeed. Granted, it could grow into something more but there have been times where I have been friends with people of a different gender, without the slightest thought of them with anything beyond friendship. It really is not impossible to say the very least. It is in fact extremely possible for a boy and a girl to be friends, just friends, and nothing more than friends. Whether people will believe that, well that's truthfully their problem, isn't it?

Yes I believe it is possible to just be best friends without ever having romantic feeling for each other, but sometimes the best romantic relationships began at only being friends. I met my boyfriend about 4 years ago and at that time we were just friends ,we became best friends and then about a year ago we both realized we have developed romantic feeling for each other and since then we have been dating. It is the best romantic relationship I ever been in.

The short answer, learned by hard experience, is no. I tried to post a more detailed answer earlier but was told it had mature content, but I couldnt' figure out what made it so. I copied my answer to a file while I was changing my preferences, and now I can't paste it back in because I don't have the required number of points yet. I understand the reason, but I just don't feel like retyping three paragraphs. In short, men and women who share a lot emotionally will bond and normally one or both will begin to also have romantic feelings. If they are both free to enter a relationship, this can be a wonderful foundation, since good friends often make the best marriages. If only one person feels the attraction, the other will be constantly frustrated and will probably find it difficult to continue as "just a friend." If one or both of the friends are married to someone else, it's just better in the long run not to be alone together and not to cultivate being close emotionally. It just isn't safe. Someone is sure to get hurt and possibly even a marriage or two will be seriously strained or break up. The risk just isn't worth it. Please don't ask how I know this.

I believe they can, and they can be closed friends without any romantic relationship involve. Actually, I know this girl once before, and I thought that I can be her boyfriend at some point, but eventually, she doesn't feel that way. So, all I can be just be her best friend.

I would like to say yes it can happen if both mutually understand it will not go any further. I had a really wonderful guy friend for several years. I believed it was understood that we would only be friends, at least I could never see him more then just a really true friend. Sadly with time he did develop romantic feelings and though I really spoke to him that it could never be he persisted and our friendship really distanced. Reason it distanced is that he continually persisted and it made me uncomfortable. Suddenly when I started to date someone I could sense he was upset.

It is interesting that at some times,close friends couldn't be the relationship like boyfriend and girlfriend.But it is mysterious that you guys could share both great secrets and you guys can talk anything you want.But anyway,do not break that wall,such close relationship would definitely be admired by many people.

I can believe that I imma such a friend. friend with whom you can share everything and they want physical. Well this is a very rare case but it is nice to have a man friend. I wish it all. nice day!

Yea a guy and a girl can be really good and close friends. And they can stay good friends without ever romantically liking each other. But in some situations, I think that at some point during their friendship one of the people involved do become romantically interested. And sometimes the other person isn't interested, and the best thing to do in a situation like this is to just talk it over, cause you don't want to loose a good friend.=)
