Can guys just be friends with a girl they find attractive?

[Anonymous]

even if you’ve known them for years?

I have more friends like that that are girls then when I get a girlfriend she gets pissed off and cut it jealous because of all these girls and that's where we are we are just good friends when we started out our friendships we had a choice we could have either had sex because that's what it was all about got into a relationship and any used time would have killed each other hated each other and never spoke again to each other but we were grown up enough to talk about it and say okay what would you rather have a piece of ass and in a year's time a failed relationship or would you rather just be friends and hang out laugh and enjoy each other's company knowing that we both wanted to have sex but we're grown-up enough not to go there and I think that's a very special bond to very special friend

I can - It'd depend on my level of attraction towards her - But like I've been in 4 serious relationships all of which we initially started as friends (it wasn't like we had a conversation about it we just randomly met and became friends, like normally).- I say it was clear we'd end up together - We were very touchy (stuff like casually touching her, or putting my hand on her knee, or caressing each other's hands), very playful I flirt a lot with anyone but genuinely enjoyed flirting with her or them.. I wouldn't do all of these with friends whom I don't feel like I'll want to be something with, that sends the wrong message..

this is very much what my guy friend is like, he’s very touchy (we cuddled and he massaged my back) and he’s extremely complimentary. i always thought it was just him being a good friend.

I'm not sure. Here in my place it is not possible. Tried it multiple times chances are they will subtly imply they like me then the next day someone is already asking if I have a boyfriend. It sucks. Dreaming of having a platonic relationship with a guy is not possible.

I currently have a “platonic” friendship with a guy. the reason i quoted that is bc he’s been very flirty snd touchy with me lately. i don’t know if that’s considered platonic or what

[molonski2]

Its possible , but secretly they want to boont her , they just dont know how to go about it.

[Asker]

but what if the girl friend likes him back? should she say something to him?

[molonski2]

Absolutely she should , he needs a push I reckon.

[Asker]

but if he’s been flirty but hasn’t flat out admitted his feelings what should the girl do assuming she doesn’t want to misinterpret his flirting for just being nice?

[molonski2]

Id say -- " So are we ever going to do , on a date --- a deal date? " , " Or do you just like playing around?
Keep it light and bright so you have an " out " , but make it obvious..
When he flirts , say something like " Im not sure you could handle the storm that waits within , many talk , few have experienced "

I am only friends with girls i find attractive , that's why i have only internet girl friends well i am shallow

[awkward_author]

It's definitely possible. I find my best friend attractive, and we're, obviously, just friends.

[Asker]

but if given the chance, would you hookup?

[awkward_author]

I want to say yes, but no. It’s not that I wouldn’t want to. She’s amazing. If she asked or anything like that, I know she’d feel terrible afterward because it goes against her religion. A hookup isn’t worth potentially harming our friendship or her religious convictions for.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

Yes they can if the girl isn't very defensive to disrespectful levels

[Neosporin]

Be friends yeah. Just friends? I don’t know think so

[mark000h]

Possibly, but painful.

[FunkyMonkee]

I've been, plenty of times!

[Jamie05rhs]

Sure. If I don't want her.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, but its not easy.

[Dinosaursandanime65]
