I'd be ok with being just friends with a pretty attractive female. Because I know one of two things will go down if I take it to the next level either they'll cheat on me, or they'll rip my wallet to shreds.
I can be with girls who I think have kind of the priggish attitude about them when it comes to their love life.
Like in a romantic context I think they're a bad person and they're shallow but when it comes to friendship they seem pretty respectful to guys I'll be friends with that type of girl. One because I like having friends. 2 they might have some other attractive friends who aren't as priggish in a romantic setting that I might date.
I could be, but the woman will always, always, ALWAYS assume that their male friend is just trying to bang her if he's not attractive. Which isn't very conducive to a healthy friendship. So no, not really.
Those that are in stable loving relationships can...
I'd like to believe single guys can too, but a lot of the times I'm proven wrong...
(Sometimes not, though... so it depends on the people.)
It's possible, but it's gonna need a lot of will-power in the beginning. Then as you get used to her, the friendship can become more natural. It's possible, but it's difficult.
In my experience I have found that most guys that I'm friends with try to be more. But there are a few who can be just friends, especially if they're gay 😂😂
Yep, my best friend is gay 😂 doubt my boyfriend would be comfortable with how close we are if he wasn’t
It's possible, but rare. I've had one very attractive female friend who I never wanted to cross the line with because she and another friend of mine had a thing together and she didn't want to cross the line because I don't think she was attracted to me. She's super cool so more than happy to have her as a friend plus she's a pretty good wing-woman.
Bring in friendship with the pretty/attractive female only depends what you think about that person. Because, we all make meet people for first time and make friends with them but as time goes on some people upgrade their friendships to relationships. So a guy can be just friends with a pretty/attractive female without any love mind.
Yes, if
1) he's gay/asexual
2) doesn't find you attractive
3) has a girlfriend who's hotter than you
I LOL'd at #3
Yes, but it takes a lot of discipline. Trust is at the heart of every relationship sexual or not. Can she trust you?
First, they need to get rejected by said girl, and if the relationship is salvageable depending on both parties, they can be best friends. However, for the guy, there will always be the thought in the back of his head wondering what it would be like.
It's still hard for me to interact with someone that's extremely attractive. I can do it but it takes extra effort not to blush at every turn.
A bit difficult at times, but it is done. I did it for years and now she is one of my best friends, decades later.
I could, but most girls I've tried to maintain friendships with have always seemed to think I was "out to get them" and would ignore me, or blow me off, when I was just trying to be friendly and nothing more. 🤔🤔
If she's taken, sure. My bestfriend is - as far as I can judge it - really attractive, married and most of her friends are guys.
She doesn't have male friends. She just thinks she does. If she's actually as attractive as you're alleging.
If you say so 😂 they are common friends of us and we are friends since almost 8 years by now.
I simply mean that they want to fuck her, if she's actually attractive. Which means they aren't truly her friend; true friendship is platonic.
@Anon-ymous1 I just asked my boyfriend (no, he wasn't taken the whole time since he knew her) and no he never thought of her in a sexual way. He's also good friends with her husband by the way.
Okay.
Yes to the extent if she told me to make it a relationship I'll reject , being attractive isn't the only thing the makes me wanna be in relationship with her
I can. But if I'm attracted to her I'd maybe want to cut off the friendship if the feelings aren't mutual. To prevent future awkwardness.
Right... which means you aren't truly actually "just friends." Ever. If she's pretty/hot/attractive, anyway.
Our label would still be friends but I'd always want it to be more though.
Right. That's what I mean. A label doesn't matter-- emotions are what matter.
@Anon-ymous1 - True. Label-wise, we'd be friends. But emotionally wise, Unrequited lovers. xD However, I have been just friends with "attractive females". They were pretty but I just wasn't attracted to them.
Yeah, if he's gay. A straight guy isn't thinking about being "just friends" with an attractive girl.
this is maybe just me, but looks are nice to look at period
Is that the only thing she's got going for her? Is she kind, smart, funny, witty, anything else but pretty? If not, why even bother?
