Ian is still with the same woman and their beautiful daughter (I call her my niece, though she isn't by blood) just celebrated her 1st birthday. Ian and I ARE close, but that closeness doesn't include the sexual undertones of a romantic relationship.
I've since broken up with the guy I was dating at the time, but not because of Ian (my ex moved to Australia for law school and long-distance wasn't for us). I'm dating someone new now, and we're good. He and Ian get along well.
I think they can if no attraction is there on one or both parts. I have found having a friendship with the opposite sex an impossible task as they always, and I mean always, want to take it further. I do not lead the on. I talk about my dates, my current boyfriends, don't let them treat me to dinner, keep any physical contact to the minimum (like hugs, or kissing on the cheek which you would do with a friend of the same sex). But no they always want to take it further.
They can't, from my personal experience. Simply because when I befriend with a guy I must be attracted to something about him and vice versa, it happens when you are having a friend of the same gender but feelings for other gender are never the same and will never be.
I think males and females have different form of friendship
most of the time too many things come in between, like guys developing feelings, girls looking for attention.... in general I think people have no understanding of what friendship is
It all comes down to the two people. It's not impossible - rare, but not impossible. You see I have guy friends and we simply aren't attracted to each other. Of course he might think I'm pretty, and I might find him attractive aswell but, the thought of us together? It's completely laughable.
I have a few guy friends, and I've dated a few, been attracted to a few, but that's normal.. There are a few friends that I've been really close with, and have never even felt an ounce of attraction for. I love them, but not in a sexual way. They're like brothers to me. Love is complicated. There is love for friends, family, and then a love for someone special, and they differ, and sometimes they can be confused, and it complicates relationships.
Men and women can definitely be friends...great friends at that. Our society wants us to believe different...
When you get married, it seems that all your "friends" of the opposite sex end up disappearing. So it ends up being a moot point.
I didn'r read the whole story, but inccorect, they can be friend.
If the girl is already married, the guy will still be her friend.
Maybe you SHOULD have read the whole story, my point was that men and women CAN'T be friends lol.
You don't know what his intentions/thoughts are about you.
They usually can't. It take a special man and a special woman to be 'just friends' and by the time they sort out the whole special business, people will assume they're a couple anyway.
Becasue the sex always gets in the way. even if the guy, or the girl is ugly, there will eventually be sexual attraction
They can be... In fact, a man can be a woman's best friend...
Sure they can be if they have one mind and not some negative thoughts.
Agreed.
Of course, you can, my best friend is a guy.
