Can gender opposite friends remain just friends?

Yeah maybe - unless there's like nothing the two of you have in common or unless you're attracted to the person (or other reasons).

If you aren't interested in the person sexually then yes. But if you are - and you usually are - then 'friendship' is definitely second best - and a bit of a waste of time too.

Yes, but that doesn't stop us from thinking about her in a sexual way. It's not our fault. God may have given us two heads, but only gave us enough blood to use one at a time.

Yes it is definitely possible. it's harder though if it is your best friend. I think I may be falling for my best friend. I have other friends though that are girls.

Most of my friends are girls. Have feelings developed, yes. did I realize that their friendships are worth more, absolutely.

I have had several friends that were girls. One of my most important friends was a girl I sort of dated 10 years ago. She's married now and has two kids. I'm happy for her, and we are just friends nothing more. It's possible because I know she isn't the girl for me. But while we weren't meant, and aren't meant, to be in a relationship, we make good friends.

I also have had other female friends while in school that were just friends.

The problem is mostly when you're friends with a person because you are into them but can't get the nerve to ask them out or he or she is dating someone already or any situation along those lines. But when you aren't interested in the person as a possible date, then yeah it's easy to just be friends.

I know I'm fully comfortable being friends this girl. She told me her story and how she didn't want a relationship and I was perfectly fine with it. Even if I fell in love with this girl I wouldn't let it mess up our friendship because I'm a gentleman first and a guy second. The only problem was that she suddenly started acting weird and now we aren't really as close as we once were. I mean we were really really close. Nothing sexual but close, We shared secerets we watched Tv, I wouldn't mind if she wanted to cuddle or if she cried on my shoulder. Still she suddenly became distant, I still think were best friends and I'll remain there for her and always with a best friend additude. I just hope she comes around. That's why I said I say its possible but It depends on both sides. Some people said she got to close and needed to make some space so she didn't get emotionaly attracted to me. Some say that I maybe said or did something wrong or that suggested I wanted more the just friends and she feels uncomfortable around me now. Whatever the case is I say it is possible. Just really hard because its just like friends, and it still hurts if your friends with one person and then find the guy of your dreams. You stop hanging out, he/she thinks you don't like him/her and that might make it hurt a little more.

It really depends on the person. I have plenty of guys friends who I just goof around with and we haven't done anything past hugging. It also depends on how you saw them when you first started talking to them, if you started out talking as friends then it will most likely stay that way, but if you started out having a crush on this person then you should evaluate what that particular friendship is based on.

I was best friends with an ex and he pretty much stopped talking to me after I started dating another guy, but that was most likely because of his feelings. If you want to stay friends with someone or be more than friends, I think it would be best if you tell them. Hope this helped :)

Sure I've had guy friends for years. Just because you are opposite sexes does not mean you have to have sex.

Friends can MAYBE. but if you have best frieds that are gender opposites it will have eventually

Yeah of corse they can like one of my best friends is a goodlukn guy it don't mean I wanna have sex with him we're friends that's all!!

Of course! They can remain still friends. As long as you both want to. If he's a great guy of course. It should be no big deal.

I do believe it's possible. I have best girl friends and best guy friends. I have been friends with my guy friends for years and both of them have a girlfriend. Only one of the girlfriends isn't secure with our friendship but nothing sexual has ever happened. We've talked for hours on the phone and we've both given each other relationship advice. I love them like crazy and I would never want to jeopardize our friendship to try getting in a relationship with them. Plus, I don't see them in that light. I am also friends with an ex and we talk about things just like friends. We've been friends now longer than we dated and I think we make way better friends. Yes its possible and your boyfriend should not be worried. :)

It is completely possible. Now ask if it is possible if you have jealous boyfriend or girlfriend and then you might have a different story. But if your single and have a guy or girl friend, it is possible to keep it that way. I have lots of guy friends that are just that.

It all depends..Because some guys even though they know that you have a bf they are still willing to do things with you. But most of the time opposite genders could be friends. And if you're in a relationship then the guy might not like it because either he has had bad experience with girls that are like you that have lots of male friends. Or his just insecure and feels that you might fall for one of you guy friends. But talk to him and tell him how you feel about hanging out with guys and tell him why you tend to have more guys as friends than girls. Then see how he feels and if he doesn't like it then you decide if you hang out more with your girl friends or you stick with the guy your with,and leave your guy friends behind. It's your choice. Good Luck.
