Of course I can
But both people have to be 100% honest..
I have gone through this numerous times
Okay so let's play pretend for a second you and I meet.
We like each other we want to hang out with each other.
And I'll use me as an example because one person always wants more LOL
So I find you hot and sexy and I want to get in your pants.
There's going to come a moment where that opportunity is going to be right there
That's when you have to be honest with yourself
Because because in that moment you're going to create a kind of a girlfriend boyfriend type of situation
And for me that's where I have to stop and think and weigh it out
If I was to do this right now how long is the relationship going to go for are we meant to be with each other
Versus
Damn I want to get her pants LOL
So in that moment you have to make a choice if I get in her pants right now we start seeing each other how long is the relationship going to last
And down deep in your heart you know that something might not be right and if you break up that means there goes to friendship
So you have to look at it like that or at least I do anyway so 95% of all the girls I know in one way or another this is kind of happened and I have to ask myself and be honest but I'd rather have the friendship or
Get laid break up and not be friends anymore
I've always chose the friendship and I mean I have some good good friends
Because of the choices that I've made and to be honest I mean it wasn't only my choice I've talked to some of the girls about this and they agreed with me at the same time so it wasn't just my choice it was their choice too which I really respect that
So yes you can be friends male and female female male and it actually is very very pleasant and nice I have a lot of friends like that
And probably 20 years ago I also had friendship that I had just broke up with a girl and long story short it was a nightmare but anyway I finally got her to leave my house
And in that moment two weeks after that moment I mean I hated everybody I hated everybody LOL just because I had lost myself during all this period I was trying to get her out of my house I didn't want to communicate with anybody
But two weeks after there was three people that came over to my house three girls.
Two of them were her friends my exes but they came at different times one was my friend she came at a different time
And as we started talking
All three of them were kind of trying to make a move or whatever and asked me if I wanted to go out and I said no thank you I said I hate girls right now I hate everybody right now LOL
I said I didn't want to be in any type of relationship they understood that
And me being me I had to be a smart-ass and I said not unless you want to have or become friends with benefits. And I was joking but all three of them said okay
For like about a month once a week these girls would come to my house never at the same time thank God. And actually it was one of the best experiences that I've ever had because of that freedom but anyway
I think it's probably about maybe 2 months after my ex called and told me that she was moving back to Reno and I said good luck you're not moving in with me I don't ever want to see you again
And probably about 2 weeks before that a friend was selling their house and I don't know everything just worked out the way it was supposed to I guess but I ended up buying that house and then selling mine and then those three girls the way everything happened I just kind of lost contact with them
And I think I broke my phone at the same time I don't really remember how it happened but I moved and never got back in contact with them again I did run into one of them probably about a month ago and they asked me what happened but they ended up getting married LOL
But short story even longer LOL yes it is very possible and good things can come from it too I mean those are the best type of relationships sometimes is to have a good friend like that
Yes. It can be done, but when two men become close friends there is almost always a natural boundary that exists. Men show affection for one another with teasing, banter, and common interests. I can (and often) go away for a night or weekend with my guy pals.
When a man & woman start to become close
the manner in which they express affection for one another is less cleanly defined and the potential to get confused (one or the other) is more of a possibility. I think it’s very hard to be extremely close or “best” friends. I probably can’t go away for the weekend with my female friend.
I have female friends who are very close, almost all through work, but I’m also in a very faithful relationship with my wife. For the most part she is comfortable with those female friendships but I’ve always been careful to insure the boundaries are clear and understood.
It is is possible if there is truly no sexual attraction between the two of them but in general no they can’t. I had more friends that were men when I was a teenager because most of my interests aligned with them but when I hit college I found women that liked those things too and most of my friendships are now with women. I’ve maintained friendships with three men. One is gay and the other two are happily in relationships. I don’t talk to all of them regularly and when we hang out it is usually in groups/with our partners.
Men an Women can definitely be Friends but I believe Many times it Might evolve into a Relationship. While the other times if she don’t like the Guy in That way the Guy might still hold out for a chance at least a small chance of it growing into something More.

Yes they can
But being a man friend with a woman or other way around can lead to more intimate feelings.
Being intimate does not mean sex. But a love on a whole different plane
They can start acting like brother and sister or very very close friends. But with the last it can end up in even more. Love without falling in love.
Example : together for centuries ( so it seems ) one goes away and leaves a hole in the soul of the other ( same feeling when the "one" your first love, wife or... )
From my experience, no. Unless he's gay, it feels like almost every single guy friend I have had developed feelings for me. I feel like a lot of guys take my being nice as me flirting with them when I really just want to be friends. It is honestly starting to bother me...
Your right, "I think it truly depends on who is involved."
I would tell any partner of mine that if you see or hear me having a friendship with another woman, GET OUT!
I have never cheated and never would. I have more guy friends than I need, but if I'm talking with a woman it can only mean more for me at some point.
I don't like that because I enjoy talking with women more, but I am being honest with myself!
So, you’re saying you truly can’t be trusted.
Yeah, I've been friends with women I'm not sexually attracted to before. Though the friendship didn't last long because I think they mainly were looking for that. But I'm still open to being friends with anyone who is a nice human being to be around. I don't have to be sexually attracted to them in order to enjoy being around them. It's just that my hobbies & interests are usually more male space oriented.
Yes, I believe so. Gender has nothing to do with talking to a good friend. Should they become attracted to you, or vice versa, is when it can become a problem, especially of the feelings are one-sided.
Generally, no they can't. Women think they can, but men are different.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/T_lh5fR4DMAAnd yet, my friends haven’t done anything.
i think for girls that's very easy but i think its harder for a lot of guys. like i feel like when guys are friends with a girl, 7 times out of 10 its because they want to date her or be her friends with benefits
I don’t believe in it, unless a man is gay or taken.
If he is taken, he night still catch feelings.
Of course.
I think people who believe otherwise don’t what true friendship is like.
Sure because one of my best friends is a guy and I've never had any kind of romantic feelings for him
Yeah, especially for ugly people. There would be no sexual attraction whatsoever. So they are able to stay friends.
I must be ugly then. Because no guy would want something more than a friendship with me.
Umm 🤷♀️
Yes but only if there is no sexual attraction to each other
Both my husband and I have many friends of the opposite gender.
yes, I have a few women that I am friends with.
To me it is like being with my sister and I have no thoughts on it going any further.
This is getting to be a more popular question than "when did you lose your virginity?"
yes they can and do I have a few lady friends have had them for have my life , just friends and good ones at that ,
Men and women can be friends as long as they're not attracted to each other.
Most of my friends are male and always have been.
Only if the woman in unattractive enough that the man doesn't care but not too much that she is ugly
Damn, I must be ugly then. Oh well 🤷♀️
Yeah, I don't see why not. I have female friends and some I have sex with some I don't. I'm still friends with them.
Yes, I think so. This idea that every man or woman just desires sex or has feelings for each other is stupid and not consistent with reality.
Not if there is attraction from either party.
No they can't. Most men will tell you this because as men we know how other men are and I can promise you if you have a male friend he is there to get a chance to be with you eventually
I have had female friends my entire life, male friends of course.
I have a few female friends. I respect both my relationship and their relationship so it isn't a problem.
Yes I have plenty of females friends as long we are not attracted to each other
Of course we can be Friends, It's just us Guys would much rather be with a Sexual Partner other than a Friend.
yes ofc its hard to find a guy that just wants to b friend's but i got one
if they are emotional and lonely they will get a feeling for each other
i think so, my late wife was good with it as long as it was another guy lol
Yes of course it is possible
Yes of course n why
Not
For the most part no but there are exeptions.
Yes, I have good friends that are female.
Yes!
Yeah, friends with benefits
EXES Can. lolxxoo
yes until the first kiss or squese
Yes I belive so
Yes. I have a few gal friends.
Not likely without sex
No sex was involved with my guy friends. None of them thought that way about me.
Yes why not?
I don't think so.
I have guy friends but neither one has done anything.
Fuck no i don't make friends in opposite gender
Yes.
Of course
No men prey on women
I don’t have the energy for this crap 🤦♀️
You do that's why you replied
I just don’t have the energy to tell you how wrong you are.
Ofcourse you don't get it because you're mot attractive
Guess I can consider myself lucky then 🤣
