if a men and women can best friends?

I think that a men and women can not stay as friends for ever...They can...But they have to control their self to keep a gyap between them..I don't know that...One of my best friends have same experience like this...They began to talk as friends....And after few weeks,In our friends meet,I seen that they are very close...And at last they became love birds...There was nothing wrong with their love...They were in same religion...But his mother didn't like her..And don't like a love marriage to her sweet son...He said to my friend that He loves his mother more than her...So just forget him...That was a shock to her...Now they hate each other... What a story.....So I will not believe a boy except my brother and father... :-)

Most of my friends are male. It's easier to discuss with them, you don't step on their toes that easily and they don't feel insulted about nothing. Already as a kid I had mainly male friends. That doesn't mean I don't have female friends but they have the kind of attitude I have. We are not the types who are waiting for a man to rescue us, we like it to have our own live, to develop ourselves. I don't know if women tend to devolp attraction through intimacy, who says so? And if it comes to love... nobody knows or can feel how other people love. Love is a personal feeling. For me being in love is not the same as love. Love is stronger and you have to know someone very well to come that far. There has to trust. So it's easy for best friends to become lovers as well. They can also fall in love with eachother, since falling in love will come back even in long term/steady relationships. It's not just there at the start of it. Sounds to me you are envying them? Why you tell them to control their friendship? Love = friendship as well. The problems they have are not their problems, you, the family make a problem out of it. I find it a pity that you all give them so less trust and can't feel happy for them. Since that is the only thing that should count. You want your real friends to be happy no matter in what way or with home. Nothing will change as long as everybody is willing to invest in the relationships to go on the way it was. Sounds to me you all are already making problems which don't exist at all. It's a shame.

it's very much possible. i have lots of guy friends and we intend to keep that friendship forever. some people say why not become lovers, i tell them "we both look good but not together" hahaha.. it's really an advantage to have a guy friend. they think different, they talk different, they eat and drink different and in does things differently which i like better than with women. and to be honest, i feel intimidated when men are around me cause we think that they're better than women and i wanna prove that we're all equal.

Hello! I grew up with different kind of men. And my bestfriend is also my lover. With my bf we are keep in mind that on top of us being a lover is our frienship. So i don't think there would have some troubles only if they know how to define their selves to each other.

Yeah you are right, the relation can never be just about the friendship. What I mean is it somehow changes into love. Even if it doesn't it turns obsessive and can ruin many things. If it is a simple friendship like college friends, not meeting a lot and stuff, they can stay that way.

Yes it can happen, my bestfriend is a guy, we've been friends for such a long time but we don't go beyond being bestfriends. For me it's enough that he's my super friend and I don't want to lose him. Though its clear between us that we can never push through that line.

I dont think a woman and a man can really be best friend. Sooner or later one will fall for the other. When two people are friends (male/female), they have to have some kind of connection or bond to start, given time that connection will grow into something stronger.

For me it's okay for a man and a woman to be best friends as long as they are both single. That's because there's always the possibility that they might fall in love with each other. So, i don't have my husband to have a woman best friend. Lest, i will roar to their friendship like a lion.

My first best friend in primary school was a girl and as far as I know now, she has turned into a horrible person so I don't bother anymore at all. We parted ways when we left school anyway and in all honesty, I don't miss the friendship because I couldn't stand the falling out all the time over minor things. In secondary school I developed a great friendship with a guy and that lasted until we left school. We still speak to one another now and then but our friendship has pretty much faded to something barely visible in comparison to how it used to be. At some point during my friendship with him, I met another guy online. We too became the best of friends and it lasted over 7 years. We are now engaged to be married. I think having a best friend of the opposite gender does work, but somewhere along the line, if you meet someone you have pretty much everything in common with, can talk for hours about absolutely anything and never want to be apart because you miss their company too much, you are heading for love. Sometimes it's best for that to happen and other times it isn't. It depends entirely on the people involved.

Hello my dear friends men and women can be friends as people from opposite gender can be bestfriends it's not a big deal at all. And I also have a girl and a boy bestfriend. For me it's enough that he or she is my friend and I don't want to lose him. Sometimes it's best for that to happen and other times it isn't. It depends entirely on the people involved.

I think men and women can be bestfriends. There are some who really remain just friends. But I guess most of them fall for their bestfriends eventually. I guess it's because with bestfriends, you share with each other all secrets, you show your true self, and you usually go out together. They usually develop feelings for each other because of that. They would become very comfortable with each other.

i think it is hard to say, but so little percentage

I believe that a girl can be friend of a boy if one of them, or both, are in love with some one else.

me 2 have a frnd i think im in love with her but im not able to propose to her because if she leaves me i cant live anymore

I don't think that gender should be a friend barrier. Men and women can be ewually gratifying as friends. Mean women don't have to have a physical relationship together to be friends. they can be best friends and nothing more. it does happen.

Well that happened to me. I had male best friends. First, was when I was still in high school, we've been best friends for three (3) years and we shared secrets, books,etc. but we ended our friendship when he started courting me during our senior year. Another was when I was already in college. After class, we went home together, he will accompany me to my boarding house. We shared books and secrets. He told me about her crushes and the girls he intended to court. We had been best friends until I met my husband and married before graduation.

I can be friends with men easier than women. And most of my friends are men. I think the secret to lasting love is to be someones best friend first. Relationships change through the course of a life and if one can't be friends after the passion has tamed down, and life gets in the way, then they have real problems. And then, as we get older we seek companionship. Our friends fill that spot best. So, if we are friends with our significant other, then we have a wonderful gift in life.

Yes people from opposite gender can be bestfriends it's not a big deal at all. And I also have a girl and a boy bestfriend. But not all boy&girl bestfriends fall in love with each other. Well sometimes it happens but sometimes only one falls in love while the other don't. And I also don't believe that when both of them fell inlove with each other, the relationship won't work. Sometimes it's actually good to marry your bestfriend (that is if both of you TRULY LOVE each other) because you both know each other very well. In this case, both the girl and the boy should weigh what their REAL feelings are for each other.

Yes that can happen, And as for me Couple who started as friends have a stronger foundation of love than who don't. They already know each other well while the couple who started as getting to know each other stage will need more time and effort to prove their love. Maybe you just feel scared on what would happen to you, given they will now spend more time with each other without you. You are afraid that you will be ignored. That's reality! And life is not just revolving on the 3 of you. Maybe now is the time for you to spend time with something else, create new friends. But i assure your best friends would never forget you, they just need more time for each other. Just be happy for them so when the time comes that you felt in love they're the first to be very happy for you as well.

hello friend thats a common story that i heard this common things, some of men and women they start as a frienship but when they always together and share some thoughts it will lead to develop feelings that brought it to a serious relationship. And in my opinion it depends to the men and women how they handle to be best friends also. But the common story will be a lover.
