Search Results: physical attraction

I've always been one who believes that if there is no emotionally romantic connection or physical attraction, a straight male and female are capable of being good friends. I personally have close male friends whom I've known for years who I enjoy hanging out with and getting a male prespecive/advice on certain things. Though there have been 3 that have come to say they liked me, and there was a time where I thought I was falling for 1, we kept things mature in talking feelings out and all occasions except 1 did we test things out only to learn that we're meant to be friends. I'd also say that I have a somewhat equal amount of male and female friends and have 2 relatively close guy friends that I have NEVER had any interest in (and No, they are not butt ugly.)

However I've been seeing this question pop up a countless amount of times and I've been reading otherwise and seeing "rules" around the topic, like it's diffrent if the two are single/if both are in a relationship/or if one is single and the other isn't. I've also read that if one thinks that tgey are merly just friends... they're dead wrong as in some point of tge friendship one or tge other has developed a crush.

What's you're take on it? Are YOU able to keep a friendship with the opposite sex without falling for/fantasizing about him/her?

I may be the only one who would choose the last variant.
Although I am single but I know I would be more jealous of his male friends as guys are more connected to their male friends than female friends. Most guys I know enjoy more their male friend's company than a female one. It seems girls prefer male friends and guys prefer male friend too. So everyone prefers male friends. lol
Although I like guys who are very friendly and have tons of friends but such guys tend to spend most of their time with friends which bothers me as I would think he trusts his friends more than me and he enjoys their company more than mine.
I really want him to spend more of his time with me. As you see my jealousy has nothing to do with physical intimacy. I would never think he flirts with his friends (male or female) This is why I am ok with him having female friends if I know he is not the flirty type. The reason of my jealousy is his connection with his friends.
Does he tell his problems his friends first? Does he share more secrets of his with his friends than with me? Does he want to go out with his friends more than with me?
Please answer this question as well!
"Wouldn't you be jealous if your SO had more connection with his/her friend than with you even if he/she feels physical and sexual attraction only for you?
