Of course! Why couldn't they? Someone could be hot as hell but not the most attractive personality
Sure, but eventually I expect she will want the D. I remember the last girl that said she saw me as a brother... until she saw me wearing a fitted T-shirt... that's all it took..
Yup. All it takes is for them to be taboo for some reason. I personally just consider ALL women taboo, unless and until they themselves tell me otherwise explicitly. Saves time... ;)
If they have other options for companionship, then yes. Otherwise, no.
Some guys can't handle it and I mean most guys. Some can, very few.
Straight guys in general are bad at being just platonic friends with any girls.
They can be friends but that won't stop them from trying
Trying?
I mean the relationship so they choose doesn't nessasarily need to stay platonic
I have no idea what you just said.
For some guys that’s hard but it definitely can happen.
I believe that men and women can be just friends especially since I was permanently friend zoned by all the ladies I know maybe it is me maybe I am aiming too high this frog should stick to the mud instead of aiming for the castle
When Harry Met Sally!! Watch it!! The answer is there!!
I have a couple female friends that are gorgeous, but I wouldn't ever date because I've known them since I was in elementary school. So yes, it's possible.
The question/responses seem to think/presume *physical* attraction defines whether you can resist pursuing someone romantically, or I may be overthinking.
Why not? If I see a beautiful girl, I think that she looks good but I very likely won't be crushed on her. As a friend she would probably feel like a sister to me and not as a "potential girlfiend".
Yes, but just on surface level. Rarely do they want to be besties.
All the guys in my friend group have told me they have liked me at one point or another, I even dated a few of them, but I do think that once they have that little I like you phase then yes they can most definitely be friends.
Yes of course! How can I be anything else to her? Lol
... still yes. :)
I'd say yes because most of my guy friends have admitted to find me attractive but we're fwwweinds
Yes, I am friends with a beautiful woman who is definitely a head turner.. been friends for years and nothing change
Absolutely, though I'm sure romantic emotions will eventually develop as you spend more time together
Right... which means you aren't actually "just friends."
You only change from friends to something else if you try to cross that barrier. Even then I've asked out girls and stayed friends with them long after
Sure man but that's the point-- had they changed their mind, you would have been happy about that, right?
I suppose. Can't pretend to know what a potential future would have been like. Maybe the relationship would have been a disaster and I wouldn't have even kept them as a friend.
Yeah but you wanted the future. And you wanted physical stuff with her. Cuddling/kissing/sex.
I don't know man. All I know is that I'm lonely enough to want to die everyday. Don't even know why I posted
That sounds serious man, you feel like you don't know what you're even bothering with?
I'm at a point where I just don't feel anything or care about anything. All I want is to know what being loved feels like
And you feel like you don't feel that, right now. That's what you're saying?
I've never felt it
Romantically, you mean.
No, just in general.
What about family?
I have nothing in common with my family
Yes, we don't necessarily want to hump everything that moves.
No I didn’t think you would, just some guys seem to have that set in their heads that they’d bang anything half decent and I think that’s rude to blokes in general
I mean I got plenty of female friends
Granted I'm a horn dog and given the opportunity I absolutely would not hold back but that's just me there's plenty of guys out there with self control
