Can a boy and a girl be best of friends?

It is possible for a girl and a boy to be best friends.But when they are about to be going to be with some other person,there arises a problem.Some of them are so much afraid to lose such good friendship and to take risk and get a new unknown person and end up marrying.Others leave each other,but cannot remain best friends because,now all the attention have to be going to the new partner.In both the ways,best friends for ever does not stand at all.So my answer is that a girl and boy can stay best friends,but not forever.

I have many closed male friends and we have been being in pure friendship for long long time. Different genders? it doesn't matter as long as your guys are really willing in nice friendships.

I'm not in favor of two opposite genders being bestfriends. Coz I believe that they would always have a tendency to develop to a romantic relationship. I haven't had a girl bestfriend and for sure, my girlfriend would never allow me to have one. Can you tell me what's the difference of bestfriend and just friend, of opposite gender? Have a nice day!

I have male best friends most of the time, but in time the relationship became rather romantic or their girlfriends and wives became jealous of our relationship that we had to part. I also experienced a romantic relationship that became bland in taste and we decided to be just friends...

Tough question. Yes and no. It could work out, but I think that we boys always have "something going on" in the back of our mind. 9 out of 10 times boys do something stupid.

ehm..that is my experience. I have a bestfriend. She is almost match with me. She has a boyfriend but i don't. We met in 2004 when we went to college at first year. Actually, she was my friend at middle school, but i don't know her. Until now, we make good relationship. Look like bestfriend forever. We often going everywhere like a married people, haha. Tandem... Sometimes, i want to be her boyfriend, but i don't think so. I don't know what her mind. We never share about love in our feelings. Fear? I don't think so. We just feel comfortable when we going around. Never fighting and happier.

I think that both boys and girls can be best friend. I think some people might feel crushes on each other while some others do not. I think it depends from person to person. I believe opposite genders can be best friends.

Of course! haha :D Any relationship that progresses from friends to the next level are often desired. That's because both understand each other so well, but then again, it can backfire when both knows each other too well.. haha It's not a good thing for girl and guy to be best of friends because the moment either one of them got attached, jealousy to best friend from their partner is bound to be hard to swallow.. haha If a guy and girl wants to be best of friends, they have to be prepared, otherwise it's a matter of time before they get together

Hi sweety,Yes I can say different genders can be best friends in my own experienced I have a few best friends and we get along well with each other. I don't have any thing or feelings with them just mainly friends. But you are right most male friends of mine have a special feelings towards me after being friends they admitted that that they're inlove and that they feel something special. At first I have my bestfriend I thought he don't have any feeling at all but I'm wrong after they confessed of their feeling I set up boundaries between me and them. Now if you ask me what the difference of having opposite gender bestfriends and same gender bestfriends, then I would say not much difference just sometimes some jokes maybe awkward to tell to a male bestfriends but with the same gender its easier to speak personal matters and some awkward jokes. In my point of view I think when a male bestfriend falling inlove with me I cannot really accept that so once they confessed I'm no longer as close as ever.I don't want my bestfriend falling inlove with me if he falls in love then we better part.If he love me the first time rather not to be close with me as friends..that is another story...

Yes, i think this is possible- since i see examples too. But sometimes it becomes hard for either of them especially if they reahc the teen years and one of them likes the other but is afraid to ruin the friendship. everything becomes complicated.

Well,this is interesting coz maybe there are lots of people who are still curious about this.So i think that it is reasonable for this.Coz this relationship is really precious and we could really find someone that is different from you gender.So i definitely support this.If two people here are the same personality and endless topics,there isn't anything that wouldn't possible.

If you ask me if friends of different genders can be best friends, then I'll say yes. If you ask if best friends have become lovers, then too yes. It maybe true when you have a friend of different gender you get attracted to him/her and fall in love, but as long as you are not in love. I have boyfriend as well as a best friend, a boy. I don't have love feelings for my best friend and will never feel on anyone else too. To be in love,I think friendship is important. Maybe the couple accepted each other to be romantic before they became friends but according to me, love grows first as friendship.

I think it depends whether you are already in another relationship or not. In most cases, if you are already in relationship, it is more likely that you will just remain friends but if none of you is committed, you may easily fall in love with each other.

I don't think that a boy and a girl be best of friends. My friends there is no pure friendship between a boy and a girl. Different genders do have a special and amazing feelings to one another.

I believe that that every one of us people has a good friend and in most of the times the good friend will be from an opposite gender. I had many friends from both of the genders but later I came to know I have a deep and strong friendship between the girl and the girl treat me as the same. I believe that gender doesn't play any important role in the friendship and they has no significance in our relation. We are just open and we used to share everything. There are some cases where friendship turns out in love. They are some rare cases and I hope there will no such chances in my life because I don't love to love others becuase I think it is just time pass, nearly a waste of time as well as money

No doubt and without question. A boy and a girl, and anybody can be best of friends. It doesn't matter whether there is a difference in age, gender, economic status, or physical difference. What matters is the commitment of each concerned individual to make their friendship work. Lovers are surely and should be best of friends. Couples should be best of friends with each other. Even enemies can become best of friends. I have a bad experience about friendship and I'm ashamed of my past.

A boy and a girl can become good friends, I think it depends on the initial stage of the relation to where it good friendship or lovers. I have had a good girl friend until she got married and not much contact now as she is busy with her life now.

Yes, there has always been a raging debate regarding bonding of friends of opposite genders. i strongly feel that a boy and a girl can be best of friends and can understand each other's feelings very much. Thia is because when a boy or a girl stay in company of their same gender, then they share similar habits, mannerisms and qualities and this help them bond big time. But when opposite genders bond together then they get to learn about each other's mannerisms and this gets them more closer. So it all depends on a person's mentality whether to take the relationship with their opposite gender friend to a next level or not. Infact i share a very strong bond with a girl and we enjoy very much in each other;s company and share friendly vibes with each other..

yes of course a girl and a boy can be best friend without being involved in a relationship between they both, it happened a lot and i think it's not kind of weird thing nowadays because girls said boy are hard to understand and boys are saying the same thing too.. so boys have girls as their best friend so they can understand more about girls and vice versa :D

I have always had the notion that they could. But time and time again I have been proven wrong. "When Harry Met Sally" is a good point to this, but also my fiancee always brings up certain friendships where one gender likes the other one more.
