| | | Sure, I have a couple of guys friends that are strictly friends. No attraction on either end, they're just cool people I've met around that are good for a beer or a game of pool now and then.
The rest of my guy friends are either gay or I've dated them.

| | | Yes, it can happen. My best friend is a girl. But real friendship without one of the parties wanting more is pretty rare. | |

| | | yes it's possible,.. i have some really bitchy friends that i have no intensions of even hearing more than 5 minutes of bitching, let alone 5 minutes of sex and then having them complain about it afterwards.

| | | I have dozens of female friends, so yes, a man and a woman can be friends and just that.
Which doesn't mean I haven't taken a look at their cleavages or that I haven't received a soft spank when I kissed them good bye. We're all humans.

Though, there are levels of friendship
For example I have friends who are girls whom I don't find attractive and never will. But they are good friends and I enjoy their company. Nothing's ever gonna happen between us. They are friends only.
Then there are friends with which there is some form of attraction going on, but they are not a good match. Something might happen at some point in time, but this will be as far as it will ever go.
Then there are friends who are real prospects, i.e. at some point in time the attraction may swing towards relationship.
So you have to keep in mind different layers of friendship

| | | | I don't know where to begin on this; I have too much to say. Overall, I've found that you can be friends with your opp. gender without being sexual or without wanting them. Maybe I will explain tomorrow, when I am sober and think about it a little. | |

| | | that other thread made me think of this one. i'd wanted to post my opinion in here but was too lazy or something.
anyway, i had this guy friend right. everything was cool. we'd hang out. nothing was there and we'd had conversations about how we couldn't see ourselves being more than friends blah blah blah. everything was great and i had fun.
he moved away and i saw him a couple years later at a wedding. he had gotten married, but that didn't stop him from flirting with me. i felt so awkward i had to leave early.
ever since then i don't even try. i don't think it will work, ever. people are just too human.

| | Anything is possible, if you are talking about possibility. In my opinion, if you always hang out with a bunch of friends from opposite gender, you may not cross the line easily. But if you only have one or two such close friends, it is likely that both of you may think that no harm to have some fun since you are already close enough. We are all human! Just be yourself
