I'd like to say yes but in my experience, no. Not unless one of them are gay/lesbian. I've never been friends with a guy who didn't have a crush on me and vice versa. This even happens to people I know. Two friends of mine, a guy and a girl, had been best friends forever. Then about a year or so ago they surprised everyone and announced they're dating. You can pretend to be "just friends" but one of you is probably feeling more.
Here is an experiment: Go tell your "just friends" guy that you're offering him a friendly blow job. How do you think he will react? Will he say "no we're just friends." or will he pull out his dick in nanoseconds to receive it? I say the latter will happen unless we're talking about gays or beta male cucks.
Yes. But the thing is if they're your friends, the likelyhood of you liking their personality is high. As for me I have friends that are girls, but they're in 2 categories... 1 is they're physically attractive with a great personality, in which case I can't help but feel at least somewhat attracted to them. The second is not physically attractive (to me) but has a great personality, in which case I feel absolutely nothing more than feelings of friendship.
There’s always one member of the party that has romantic attraction I feel unless one or both of the friends are homosexual. But with a straight guy and girl, there’s always a little something at at least one end from my experience.

Harry: What I'm saying is — and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form — is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
One might be secretly in love with the other but chose to stay friends in order to not to ruin the friendship. The other party wouldn't know because he/she fails to see the signals of attraction coming from their super close friend.
Yeah but not best friends I think. I don't care what they say, if I'm dating a guy and he hangs around all the time with another girl and is always texting her and telling her about our business, I have a big problem with that
MY 2 BEST FRIENDS ARE GUYS!!! They are so amazing, I get shit for being so close to one of them (the other is gay) guys. and. girls. should. be. friends!!! It’s really good to have male and female friends!
If the guy is attracted to her and they never have any physical contact (you know what i mean) then that woman is mentally killing that man i know i tried it and i can tell you the whole time i wanted to walk infront of a train or drive my car into a railing or point a fake gun at a cop (p. s. i also lived with her and heard my bestfriend beating that p**** up) so yeah i dont make friends with women and if im attracted to a woman i avoid friendship like the bubonic plague

In a girls mind, yes. But males do NOT make time for girls they are not sexually attracted to. No matter what any of them try to tell you. NO straight guy will wake up and think of texting the fat or ugly girl to ask her what she is up to or to say hi. He won't make time out of his schedule to make plans with her either.

All the blue "yes" posts are trying to convince themselves they are "friends" but if ANY of them were given the chance to be with their "friend" they would take it in a heart beat.
If I had a nickel for every time I was with a female friend, then someone would come back and ask... "Are you two dating?" It could just be due to the people around my age I don't know. But yes, girls and guys can be friends.
Yes absolutely they can be also many a times they also land up been happily married couples because they know each others flaws and advantages that makes it more secure for both (Exp from My circle of 3couple friends)
Absolutely. I have a crush, but she’s on the other side of the country, and isn’t looking for a long distance partner, so we’re still very good and relatable friends, with some obvious sexual humor, but not much passing that.
I really like to think so I feel like guys can be a lot more open if they have girl/s for friends. I always screw up first impressions with guys and girls so the closest things to friends i have are online. :P
As much as guys can be good friends to other guys, girls will have a lot more compassion and aren't going to ridicule them about things like other guys do. This doesn't go for every guy but the majority find it hard to talk about their emotions because we live in a society that tells you its week to show emotion and to man up when you feel down. I guess what I'm trying to say is having a 'girl' friend takesalot of pressure off to having to be someone your not. I feel like I screw up first impressions because i end up messing my words up or run out of things to say. (I get quite nervous talking to new people even online) you don't get a second chance to make first impressions. So I live a fairly lonely life but I have have family 😊
Well I think my first online impression of you is very informative. You're obviously smart and knowledgeable in this department. And you seem confident , but if you feel like maybe you're not when it comes to expressing how you feel because of how society will view you then everyone gets that feeling. I have screwed up so many first impressions, but now those impressions are now moments that we can laugh at and learn from.
Aww thankyou I really appreciate it I'm actually quite taken back if I'm being honest, You're right I feel like I'm not a very confident person because I'm overly conscious about how society will perceive the way i feel. I guess I'll look back on first impressions and laugh I'm just not yet there. Again can I just thank you for the kind words and advice it really helped. You're a good person you'll go far in life 😊
Aw thank you ! You'll get to that point in your life where the mistakes you made and the societal pressures will become a distant memory ! And you're welcome ! I'll always be here with advice !
Whereve you been living under? Do you think that people care what gender you are just to be friends? I have many female friends. It doesn't mean that I'm playing them all. I can't even get a girlfriend.
Kinda. As long there isn't attraction from either side, then it's fine. As soon as any type of romantic feelings get involved, would recommend letting them know as soon as you realize it, so you don't feel strung along if the feelings aren't being reciprocated.
Yeah, one of my closest friends is a girl. We consider each other like family. I like to call her sis. And she told me that I'm like the older brother she never had lol. Every time we're saying bye to each other we was say "I love you". we have only ever just been friends over time we became more like family 😊.
Yep! Sometimes you might catch feelings though hanging out to much together and if you are both single. Most of my friends were guys in school. Girls were annoying!

Why do you think that is? Screwing up first impressions and all?

Yes, my best friend is a guy. We've been friends for over a decade and have always been just friends, even when we were both single
