Of course a guy and a girl can just be 'friends'. Brother and sister for example.

Without a doubt! I would have had at least 50 boyfriends if this was true...

Well??

If you are friends with a guy, do you think you can just stay his friend always or do you think that one day a spark will fly between the two of you.

Can a guy and a girl ever be just friends...??

What are your views and opinions on this?


yes...yes they can...

Yeah they can, but it's always going to be highly likely that one will fall for the other at some point down the line.

I don't know... I've been friends with some guys for a long time and I've never developed non-platonic feelings for them! For me, guys are always friend material or boyfriend material right from the start :smile:

...but you're still just friends though, right?

I think most of the friendships I've had with blokes have involved a bit of flirting, but that's just a different form of communication than you'd have with someone of your own sex. You're still just friends.

Yes, probably there are plenty of purely platonic relationships which have lasted a long time. Like in that film Lost in Translation.

The question is though, what is the extra required ingredient? Say two people are single, have been friends for years and are 'looking for someone', it would seem like the obvious thing to do in many ways.

I have plenty of friends who are girls and are nothing more than friends and even a couple ex girlfriends I am still good friends with.

Yes, you can.

However i end up wanting to sleep with the majority of my female friends.

im going to go out on a limb here and say no...i have loads and loads of male friends, and i tell my boyfriend it's all completely platonic because i know i would never do anything with them..but it doesn't mean i wouldn't want to. I have never had a friendship with a bloke who's not tried it on with me or who i've not wanted to try it on with (at some point)...even if i would never act on the feelings, even if i'm not actually physically attracted to him, i obviously like him in some way if i'm friends with him and i think it's a normal thing to want to take that a bit further.

I'm not sure if i'm making any sense here, i'm not saying that i've hooked up with all my male friends, just that at some point, one of us is going to have had some desire for each other. It's just the way people are designed, and i don't believe anyone who disagrees.
