Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

can guys and girls be just friends?

I was wondering as all of my friends that I have currently are guys and I would like to be friends with people with the opposite sex? Is it possible.

inb4 Maybe

Why wouldn't it be?

Yes of course. People aren't attracted to everyone so it is as easy to be friends with a member of the opposite sex who you don't fancy as it is to be friends with a member of the same sex (if you are straight).

Nope, not possible.

No no no no no

Of course! I've got several guy friends who are just that :tongue:

One of both parties will most likely develeop feelings for the other if you get close. And once you start to like someones personality, you'll start to feel attracted to them lol

Nah, there's certain personalities that I like on a friend but would never want to be in a relationship with. Can bisexual people never have friends because they'll end up fancying them all? There have been occasions where this has happened to my friendships but it's a very small proportion.

Yes

Yes!! It's really quite frustrating though when people always assume you two are in a relationship!

Of course it is possible :rolleyes:

You're not going to be attracted to every girl you're friends with.

Maybe it differs from person to person though, for example, depending on how often you fall for people.

Yes I've got lots of friends who are male, I don't see our friendships any different to my female friends.
