Of course there are instances where you can't, but I believe men and women can be JUST friends. Speaking from personal experience..since most of my friends are guys. Also have this guy-friend whom I've practically lived with and we've never done anything physical at all. We've hung out every single day, even sleepovers!! There's a such thing called a platonic relationship. I mean yeah, lots of people thought we were going out and stuff but that isn't the case haha. People will always assume, it's only natural. As for attractive-qualities..well .. I find at least one quality attractive in each and every one of my friends. That's why they're my friends, no? Anyways it totally depends on the people.
I say 90% of the time no because most of the time one person likes the other. The other 10% of the time is when both parties do not have any attraction towards one another.
Yes as long as you don't cross the itimacy line. Once that happens, you can never go back as friends.
i say... both can be friends... they might not attracted to each other... but they can be best buddies..
80% of my friends are guys... And few of them are really GOOOOOD & CLOOOSE friends... don't have any problems with that. They know I've got my boy friend, I know they don't see me as possible gf material... What's the problem then?!
yes you can be friends with the opposite sex and no you don't need to be gay to be friends with them. it all depends on the people.
