A close friendship between a girl and a boy. It's impossible.

Hi friend, friendship is the beginning stage of the love, most of the lovers converted their friendship as love, but it is possible to have a life time friendship with opposite gender person without falling in love. Some live examples are available in this sort, but your point is right. There may be lot of chance to fall with our best friend, but if they are not interested with our love, we can continue a good friendship without forcing them to love us. Sad to hear that your friendship ended due to this reason.

If both are young then really impossible because one side may be fall in love but if they are married and mature then this is possible. Still I have friend of my college life he also married and me also. My husband meet my friend and his wife also meet with me. Simple friendship is possible but if close means not possible.

puiuioandaniel I don't think just a friendship between the opposite sexes is impossible..True as in your case, it might not always work out if one developes stronger feelings and the other doesn't. Still..there are many close friendships that remain just friendships... I had many more guy friends in college than girl friends because the ration was way more guys..so I used to talk to them about my boyfriend and they talked to me about their girlfriends.. it worked out really welll....

I have been just friends with plenty of men. If there is no attraction on either part it works out just fine. If one is attracted to the other in that way things could get complicated. But it does not always happen! I have had plenty of guy friends with no feelings involved at all...

Nothing is impossible. It is okay. Yes I have a male close friend. I like him better than other girl friends I have. When I need a companion, he is there with me and very protective too. So i feel secure. He doesn't gossip too so my secrets are safe. He knows what my secrets are and i know his. It feels good to have him as a friend with me.

this happen to me long time ago i had a best friend guy which i had fallen in love but sadly he cant give the love i wanted to.. but luckily since he also doesn't want to lose me we still keep in touch til now ..i had also realized that our friendships is more important and more valuable than my feelings for him.. right now we are still both single, i do entertain suitors and him courting other gals we had agreed upon that no matter what we will still best buddy til time we able to find our true mate in live...
