Can guys be best friends with a girl without falling in love with her?

[MrOracle]

Sometimes... but the majority of the time, he (at the very least) wants to have sex with the girl - UNLESS, perhaps, you are dating his best friend or some other situation where he considers you "untouchable" for moral reasons (and not every guy even does that). Oh, and one of the other exceptions is if he's already happily in a serious relationship.

I assume we're talking about a single, hetero guy? If he's your "friend", he almost certainly wants to bang you, but there's also a strong chance that he also wants to date you/be in a relationship with you. If he finds you physically attractive AND finds your personality attractive (which, if he's your friend, he obviously does), then the only reason he wouldn't want to date you (in most cases, at least) is if the two of you just don't have high compatibility.

For example, maybe one of you is strongly religious and can only be in a long-term relationship with someone of that religion. Or maybe one wants a career that requires living in the city, and the other is only interested in living in a rural area/lifestyle. Or maybe one likes going out all the time, and the other is a dedicated homebody.

But MOST guys want to have sex with virtually every girl he finds physically attractive, and that usually only gets stronger if he also likes her personality. Even if he isn't in love with her, he still wants sex, and that will color his relationship with her.

Yes for many possible reasons such as
1. He's not physically attracted to you
2. You're like family to him, like a cousin or close family friend
3. If he's gay
4. He's completely happy with his love/dating life
5. He's dating enough girls that he really doesn't even have room to fall for another girl

[Fitness-Fanatic]

Yes, but sometimes it's inevitable to fall for your best friend.

My boyfriend and I were close friends for years before we became a couple. Over time , we became closer and closer then mutual romantic feelings started to develop.

I've been friends with other guys , but I've never had romantic feelings for. It was totally platonic

[redmask38]

That's a rather distorted view of guys; not all guys HAVE to fall in love with a girl after friendship. I have a male best friend myself and he hasn't fallen in love with me in the 3 years we've been friends.

[Darkarrowangel]

Even if he's straight yes. I have two guy best friends and see them like brothers (and they see me as their sister). We're all protecting each other and a kind of squad 😂. So for me the answer is yes

[heather4N0w]

Yes, i have a best guy friend, been friends for 8 years and his had 3 girlfriend in this time. We flirted in the beginning but decided friends was the best

[MrVercetti]

Depending on the relationship terms. We can be friends and fuck each other or just play video games but you can try to be good buddies. Just keep your pants on before getting into trouble.

[godfatherfan]

NO, NEVER...
MEN AND WOMEN CANNOT BE BEST FRIENDS!!!
uggg, you women are insane.
can't happen ladies, not possible.

[artie1983]

From personal experience I would say it is hard to be like that at a young age, but as life goes on and you age it is more common

[meatballs21]

Yes. My closest friend in high school was female. My closest friend in university was female. My closest friend now is female. Not in love with any of them.

[Browneye57]

No. There's a reason for the attraction in the first place. And this is PRECISELY why platonic 'best friends' never work - one or the other will ALWAYS want more.

[MichaelCainesElbow]

Yes we can. However, what we can't do is meet a girl and not wonder whether or not we would sleep with her.

[WalterRadio]

It happens with guys and their mothers all the time.

[philipph]

yes
my best friend is a wonderful women in my age. ask me when you want to know how it works for us.

[adriandelia208]

i don't think so thats just me I'm very protective with my girl being around her guy friends

[naraku]

yup... some of my best friends are girl's. No issues over the years.

[Deathraider]

Yeah. I have tons of platonic relationships with girls. Guys at my school are too explosive.

[Kylesar]

I certainly can

I don't complain about a damn friendzone

[rohitk11]

Yes.. It can be... But the ratio is quite tricky... May be 2% can stay without falling in love... Where as rest... Try n figure out what to do...

[RD196]

Very difficult.. but yeah i had a many girls who were jus friends

[Ömerat]

If you are specific with her
She will be ur best friend
I have 2 best friends and they r girls

[DarkBlack9]

Yes, you can. It's possible!

[Iron_Man]

Yeah if she's a lot older then me

[JuanFrank7]

Yes I had more than once

[Kim007]

Yess , only if the boy is in relation.
