That's crap. My best friend is a girl, and has been that way for 18 years :smile:

Yes it is true, although I think there will always be an untercurrent of 'wanting sex' from one another. But we can easily pass that.

Hmm, if you're not attracted to each other in the slightest, and have never felt that way, I really doubt you're suddenly going to fall in love. There are plenty of examples which contradict that as well.

You can if your not shallow and view girls equally to guys (visa versa) and don't just think as the opposite sex as objects

Actually,you probably can be best friends.Im just going through a crappy time with a friend just now. Shes giving off i fancy you signals but at the same time has a boyfriend,tis totally messing my head up.

Reply 10

what kind of "i fancy you" signals would these be?

and yes you can be bezzies
quite simply

Reply 11

don't worry about it just ignore the signals and carry on
maybe worth asking her how her and her bf are going maybe not to good so she is giving you more attention?
or if you like her in that way and think her bf is a w****r then go for it and c how far you get

Asking me to the cinema for the first time in a year and saying "ill wear my nice jeans for you", staring at me then looking away quickly embarrassed when i look at her,saying "im going to get in with your family", getting annoyed when i meet a new girl and saying "well,take a picture to show me how happy you are when youre with her" but in an annoyed way......shurg maybe im misreading things.

My best mates a girl and i have neer fallen for her, the fact that shes a girl never really crosses my mind to be honest

She kind of sounds like she just wants your attention, whether she actually likes you, i dont know. Maybe since shes got a boyfriend you've been alittle off with here (not in a horrible way, just letting her spend more time with her bf), and shes trying to get that attention back. Or she could just really like you.

I think you can be friends with the opposite sex. Since 6th form i am the only girl in a group of about 6 guys who are all totally hilarious (so consequently get called a slag, if im with them out of school). Im only really friends with them because theres only guys in most of my classes, and i hardley ever see my girl friends in school any more.

However have also had dodgy experiences with guys who were only friends with me for one thing (nobs).

Some people can, or claim that they can and I don't have any reason not to believe them, because everybody is different, but I don't think I can in general.

With all my guy friends it feels like the friendship is unbounded...like we can continue to "bond" indefinitely and there's never anything gay about it but with female friends it has always seemed obvious to me that the natural progression for two people of the opposite sex, as they get closer and closer, is infact love and sex. Nature's way or something, sure.
