Yes I absolutely can. I have female friends that I have known and been friends with long before I had even met my wife. That in itself should make it clear that my wife means more than anyone to me. It's her that I decided to spend the rest of my life with and married her. I continue to be friends with many of the same friends I was before, and out of respect respectfully cut ties with a few that were for different reasons but all would or could cause an issue in a continuation of the relationship. HOWEVER... There's always assholes that are self-centered, hurtful, and untrustworthy, both men and women. The words I make a priority in my life is, without honesty and trust there is nothing. Don't always assume the worst, trust your gut, and most importantly, TRUST YOURSELF TO KNOW IF YOU TRULY TRUST SOMEONE. If you can't both be honest and trustworthy of yourself how can you know how to trust another.
Yes, I have a lot of women friends I have never had sex with. A lot of them I like and I find very attractive but I'm not interested in sex. There's nothing wrong with liking someone regardless of the fact that it's your friend. It's kind of ridiculous to think that you would have friends you don't like usually if you don't like someone you won't be their friend. Acquaintance, respectful, but not in the inner circle.
Yes. I used to be just friends with a girl. We hung out, went skating, played soccer, basic things like that. Not once did I want to sleep with her. She was not my type. But she was great to have as a friend. And like others have mentioned, men don't think about sex with every woman they see. We can be picky too.
I can. I'm not saying I had female friends I hadn't fell for. (I have done this) but overall, I've been good on that.
It's perfectly natural for a guy to point out something he likes about you, even if he is only just friends with you. It happens all the time. I wouldn't worry about for now.
Yes guys can be strictly platonic friends with a woman, I have a few female friend that I have know for years that are very attractive and I have never had any physical or sexual attraction to. I have became friends with a couple women that I had a physical and sexual attraction to, but after getting to know them. Lets just say that, familiarity breeds contempt and it killed any desire I may have had to have a relationship beyond a platonic one with them.
Any guy that says he has girls-that-are-friends are either flamboyant homosexuals or in the closet about their true feelings for said girl. And any man that lacks the balls to come into a woman more directly, doesn't deserve to have her in the first place.
In your case, that guy is obviously into you. To answer your question - yes, kinda.
Any guy that spends any amount of time near a girl he finds the slightest bit attractive at least occasionally thinks about sleeping with her. If you were to throw yourself at any of your guy friends, they would almost certainly jump on the offer. That doesn’t necessarily mean we intend on making a move.
Tbh, its very hard to be platonic friends with a girl. Its possible, but once you spend enough time with a cute girl who is a good person, you will probably develop feelings. Its natural, you are supposed to end up dating and taking those friendships to the next level.
If he’s not sexually attracted to the you than yes. But it sounds like he is. Sooner or later he’s likely to make a pass. If/when you reject him for it, no matter how sweet & sensitive you do it, your relationship will never be the same. Try telling him you’re gay & not into guys then see what he does 😈
Yes depending on the woman. My experience of most women who just want to be friends is that they attempt to use you for favours & help offering nothing in return like you were a boyfriend or their father. Basically like you are a resource to tap. But I do have some real good female friends.
It's hard but very possible. And to what you described it does sound like he likes you. But it is very possible to be platonic friends, just because a guy admires your looks doesn't mean he wants to bang you, it could simply mean he actually admires how you look.
Your guy friends are a bunch wimps... only an idiot tells a girl she has a fine ass and not get his intentions be known... it seems you like the attention but aren't sure you can handle all the hormones boiling in your kitty to let them tag team your ass... that being said... I encourage you to keep up being the tease you are at least good at...
Obviously he "likes you"... you're wondering if he "wants you beyond that", I think. Guys don't stare at you because they're thinking "cool, I'm SO glad she's my FRIEND !!" LOL He wants you. If you were to make a move on him, he'd be on that in a heartbeat. I guarantee it.
I think he does like you if he doesn't give compliments like that to everyone. I complimented girls on their shoes, hair, and nail polish. I don't like any of them, and it's not only because they're at least as old my mother. As for your question, yes it's perfectly possible to be platonic friends with someone of the other gender.
I suppose it's possible. However, imho that should be something single people worry about.
Partners should not be hanging out with oppo. gender, if even it makes their partner uncomfortable. Or find a partner that is comfortable with that. But you better make sure before you go ahead with dating seriously.
oh yeah that sounds really platonic because all my guy friends admire my ass and say how pretty it is. guys don't say that to their friends and that guy is not your platonic friend. anyway i know i can be platonic friends with a girl but why would i want to be? guys can be better friends at least for other guys

No. I cannot. I can only be "just friends" with guys, never have sexual thoughts. But not with girls.
Somehow I am always infatuated with girls, even when i know there is no chance i could ever have sex with her.
Ya. I'm miserable but hopeful. A principled romantic.

No, No AND NO.
Lol.

It’s basically a matter of priorities and boundaries.
It’s not as common as girls like to think, but sometimes trusted friend is worth more than ducking it up for a night or two of fun.
Yeah, I have a female friend that calls me for advice on her relationship and things like that and just to talk
He likes you for sure

Sounds like he does
But yes I can
A lot of the times the reason dudes are "just friends" with females is because the girl wants to be just friends not because he does,
you see what im saying?
Attractive* girls

When a guy is giving attention to a girl is definitely interested in her!
It's impossible he is giving her attentions only as platonic friends...
But can be the opposite:
Even if he is interested in you he is not giving attentions because is shy
PS:
You're eyes are really amazing by the way
