Do you have trouble being just friends with the opposite sex?

[MrHopper]

Yeah rarely works out, i think they or their partners get suspicious and it all collapses normally.. some times it doesn't.

My best friendships over the years have been with lesbians, i think thats because everyone knows where they stand and there is no underlying tone

[winterfox10]

It's never worked out for me. Usually the women seem to just randomly flip-flop on me. I don't know if it's something I'm doing, or what, but it's frustrating. I feel like I'm missing out on some truly wonderful friendships.

[Ninjazzed]

I don’t have trouble, I try to keep it simple l.. from experience, it seems that the guy always struggles with keeping a strictly platonic relationship.

[SydneySentinel]

I mostly have female friends in my real life. I fell for my best friend when I was a teenager. I haven't really kept any guy friends since then.

[SpiderManFan2002]

No, not really. I've got guy friends, there were guys in my friendship group at secondary school- and I've remained friends with all of them.

Even know at college I hangout with two guys, one of them is dating one of my friends and the other is single- but again, I plan on remaining just friends with both of them.

[Kurαȷ]

I have no female friends and a little desire to change that.
Women rarely possess the qualities that I want in a friend, and when they do, they start coming across as attractive to me.

Having female friends is overall just more trouble than it is worth.
In my experience.

[Cynicaldreamer]

No, if anything it's a little too easy for me! My problem is dating guys!!! Lol

I can make friends with most guys without even trying! It's funny really. And I mean platonic, normal friendships: we discuss random, stupid crap, hang out, eat, and do things normal friends do.

I've rarely had issues with it turning into more.
The few times it did, usually I fell for them, but they immediately friendzoned me. And I had to decide did I want to stay friends, or move on.

[SirRexington]

It can be hard just being friends if she is attractive and the two of you get along. It's exceedingly rare for men to have good relationships with women so when we meet one who is nice, likes to be around us and is pretty it's very very hard for us not to fall for them.

[tartaarsaus]

If I ever get interested in a non-platonic way, that usually fades within a few weeks. So that is in the long-run, and even in the short-run, a non-issue.

And for them to like me, they must have hit rock bottom, so that is not the issue.

So far, haven’t screwed up any friendships with the opposite sex.

[courtney06]

Yeah sometimes. Nowadays if I hang out with guys, I prefer if there is at least one female present. It is too much for me if he is single, there physical attraction and he is extremely sexually charged.

[Jjpayne]

I honestly want that opportunity! I am at church but I'd like to expand it to people I can really relax and chill with because while church friends are close it kind of is surface level until you start sharing your life with them

[DLFisherman]

I love just being friends with women. It takes the "sex" element out of it. If I'm not pursuing a woman for sexual relations then I can kick back and just be a sweet charming goofy gentleman :)

[Rica_ChicaUSA]

Depends on if the guy is really into me as something more

If he really wants me as more than a friend then it never works for me. If we are just casual then it’s fine.

[_SOARER_]

Yes, they always end up wanting to be with me.
I just want female friends to chill with and talk to

Most of the female friends I have now are either internet friends, or they are my friend's girlfriends.

[AndrewMG]

No I'm friends with as many people that I can be... I'm deeply suspicious of anyone who is incapable of being friends with the opposite sex.

[ZELLxoxo]

I have no opposite gender friends..
My last close opposite gender friends were in like primary school lol

[Anonymous]

Out of the two guys I was close friends with, one fell for me, and I fell for the other one. So hasn't worked out the best for me.
I have other male friends but we hang out mostly in groups so there's no closer contact.

[DDlgNoShame]

I used to, but as I matured, it's been easier. And honestly, as I've matured, I've gotten girls more easily.

[Ripper_E]

I might find them attractive, but I'm not romantically interested.

[Stingray275]

I have a hard time keeping female friends. Tends to always lead to a relationship of some kind that is more than just friendship

[Anonymous]

Actually for me it seems to be the opposite. I have no problem being friends with women. But i don't get why so many women can't be friends with guys they're attracted to.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I don't have a problem , friends will be friends forever :) <3 :-P :-D

[Jupiter1]

Most of my friends I currently hang with are girls. I genuinely like them all except for two girls who have become quite annoying lately.

[Browniegold]

I’ve never had a problem having guy friends. They just know what’s up from the start

[Pipeliner87]

Some yes some no. Some times I feel the girl is a real bitch.

[Anonymous]

Nope. Only the ones who blame you for the same thing they did and then throw the hotel and girl and sex in your face.
*Its your fault though

[berwise13]

Sometimes its easier to talk to a female about certain things.

[NickiB]

I don't have that problem

[aWes0MeNeSs]

No, not at all. In fact, my best friend is a guy.

[WhiteShoulder]

No, but they do with me

[nerms123]

I sometimes have that problem

[Lurdie]

Yeah, guys are pretty chill

[bklynbadboy1]

Nope most of my friends are girls

[lofii]

Only if she's ugly I won't have a problem

[NightOwl8801]

I don't have that problem

[JesseTheMan]

Nah not really. Girls are okay.

[Slim57]

Unless I'm not attracted to them yeah

[Dr_Latex_McPeggin]

Not in the slightest...

[korey182]

[Nayrr]

[DannyBoy777]

Depends on what she has on.

[fauchelevent]

[AlienParasite]
