    So here's the question, do you think that a guy and a girl can stay forever friends and never develope any type of feelings beyond friendship with each other?

    My friends and I have been talking about this for the past few days and we've concluded that it isn't quite possible. I mean, one of the main reasons why a boy becomes a friend with a girl is because he finds her attractive right? If a girl was not good-looking to a boy she would probably just remain an associate, and never become a really good friend. Once a girl is a really good friend it’s perfectly logical to the boy that she would eventually become a potential date, isn't it? Think about it guys/girls, if you had a friend, who was hot and you enjoy spending time with her/him, doesn’t it make sense that you would want to continue developing that relationship with the person? So therefore, I've reached the conclusion that a girl and boy CAN'T really be 'just friends'....

    What do you guys think about my analysis? LOL...

    I think guys and girls can be just friends. Most of my friends are guys that I've known since I was little, & we've never liked each other. My best friend is a guy, but I see him nothing more than a brother. I've known him for more than half my life, and he knows everything about me. Heck, I even tell him about all the stuff I write on this site *laff*. Am I attracted to him? No. Do I ever think about dating him? No, because our friendship is worth so much more to me than a romantic relationship.

    I actually prefer to have guy friends over girl friends because they're not so petty about things. They're also more direct & have less of a tendency to stab you in the back. They also got your back when you're in need. Most girls will just run off because they don't wanna break their nails...

    Of course, if my best girl friend came out of the closet with me, I'd feel a little weird at first, but after I learn about it, it's not like I'll be any different towards her...unless of course she's trying to make a move on me, in which case, I'll just let her know that it ain't gonna happen.

    I agree that its totally possible for a guy and girl to just stay good friends but the thing about that is only girls want guy friends... guys NEVER look for girls to be best friends, as a matter of fact guys dont even look for friends at all we can chill with ppl we dont know at all and it wouldnt matter much... girls make crappy friends anyways, no offense

    Very possible for a girl and a boy to be just friends. There are girls that I keep in touch frequently that I have no interest in.

    I think a guy and a girl can just be friends and friends only. Cause sometimes talking to the opposite sex is better than talking to the same sex...

    i think a girl and and a guy could be just friends and only friends... i true that feels might come up but after being friends for a while it would feel weird if feel do come up. wouldnt it?? I duno if a girl and a guy are close friends and they do have feeling towards each other wouldnt they hid it to not damage their friendship? but then again most guyz are pervs and their only friends with you so they could get you or your friends

    I personally don't think it's possible for a guy and a girl to remain "just friends" for any extended period of time. even if the feelings weren't there at the beginning...eventually, feelings change...

    Yeah a guy and a girl can be just friends... y not... i have lots of girls that are just friends.
    And with all those girls that are just friends i know there will never be anything happening because we have a really good friendship going already and its just a feeling that u have such a good frienship going and u don't wanna ruin it with a relationship.. its actully really hard to explain..

    truthfully relationships just complicate things somestimes and just being friends just keeps things nice and simple.
