Do you think a girl and guy can be just best friends?

I have always wondered if a girl and a guy who are best friends can remain so throughout without one of them developing feelings for the other. While I'm not saying this is true in every single case, most people(around 90%) that I've known have eventually become a couple. That includes me!! Most of the times, they end up liking each other or atleast one of them does! I have phases where I believe that it is possible for them to just best friends, but at other times, I've almost treated it like a myth!
What do you think? Have you ever had a best friend you've had a thing for?

Well it is not difficult initially to be friends... but high chances to for them to turn into couples iventually...
I know a girl and a boy were very good friends and all were thinking that they would be a couple... but they got settled with some other persons and they are still good friends...

Yes. That observation seems to be similar to mine because even I've noticed that very few people don't pursue these relationships

@stephjoy Why don't you have a deep talking with your male friend about your feelings?

I think it is possible for a guy and a girl to remain friends and not be romantically involved.

@allen0187 While I wouldn't exactly be as hard-line as you.. I do agree to the extent that it is very possible for a girl and guy who are best friends to remain so throughout.

What about when they're really close friends. Almost like a best friend. Don't you think dynamics may change then?

I have had several male best friends that remained friends until now. So I know it's not a myth and it's not because I'm unattractive either lol. We just had a rule that we shouldn't fall for each other or we won't be friends anymore.

So, can I conceive it that you would not develop a relationship with your male friend in order to be friends forever, even naturally ?

@transcendent yes you can. because all of them are already married and so am I. And we are all happy as friends even back then telling each other who we wanted to marry. We still keep in touch and drink once in awhile and talk about how we missed our past single lives.

Ohh. Those friendships have their own sweet things abt them. So what if you didn't get together? It's a p pretty beautiful feeling to have experienced. In fact it may sound weird but I miss tje time when my bf and I were just good friends. That has a different feel to it altogether!

Yes. It is quite possible. But more often than not, they seem to develop feelings for their best friend.

Yes it is very possible to have just friendly relationship between man and woman. I have few good friends who are males.

It all depends on so many factors. I always feel that friendship is the best relationship shared by any two beings. If friendship be the base for any relationship..be it...parent child...siblings...husband- wife...then the relationship is a sure winner. So a boy and a gal being just friends is possible. And if it grows into a life long relationship why not
