    I've had so many people tell me that guys and girls can't JUST be friends.

    I beg to differ...and I'm sure most of you probably feel the same.

    I like dudes because dudes tell you stuff to your face...unlike a lot of women (NOT ALL, MmmmmK?). I have an easier time talking to men too because I think I have more in common with guys than with girls. Although, as I've gotten older, I've run into a lot of women that I get along with really well also, which wasn't so common in my past.

    Three of my best friends in the world are guys...only one is a girl. My coworkers tell me that it isn't possible to have a guy as a best friend because there is probably going to be sexual tension. They don't know what they are talking about.

    Though, that isn't to say I haven't found my guy friends attractive at one time...

    Eck...maybe they're right....

    Dude, don't even worry about it, my best friends have always been boys, and a few girls along the way. Boys are just fun to be around! nothing wrong with that, co-workers don't get it because they're stuck in the dark ages apparently. :hat:

    Sure, guys and girls can be just friends. That's no problem... some of my best friends are girls.

    But if You're both physically attracted to each other, then the sexual tension will build to a point where 'just friends' doesn't cut it, and you two should probably end up making out. Unless one persons in a monogamous relationship. If only one of the parties is physically attracted, then some awkward tension can develop. But if you're both physically attracted to each other, and they're your best friend, then I suggest dumping whoever you're with now, and going for it.

    Love's a friendship caught on fire.

    There is sexual tension among people of the same sex, as well.

    The truth is better than sweet little lies.

    Course I dropped outta elementary, so no guarantee my truth is reality. :p

    mostly just being a dick.

    but really, it is very unlikely for a straight male and a straight female to be good friends and not have one develop some sort of attraction to the other, unless they're both downright ugly.

    Girls may have the capability of being 'just friends', but guys don't. Sorry.
    Not that it means we all act on it, or give it much thought - but every guy with a female friend has considered doing her/what doing her would be like.

    As an addendum, this only applies to ATTRACTIVE female friends. Uggos do not count.

    So I guess on a technicality a guy can be 'just friends' with a girl.

    in that case they might just be happy to get what they've always wanted.

    truth.

    unfortunately, even ugly people are attracted to attractive people.

    I have had guy friends in the past where we have had good non-sexual friendships but there is always a point where I get curious about them and then feel sort of awkward after.

    Almost always they tell me they think of me as their sister though. One guy from years ago friend even told me I reminded him of his mother but claimed it wasn't negative...eh...thanks a lot PAL.

    My past guy friendships never got to the point of sleeping with each other though. Mainly, because one (or sometimes all ) of my other female friends were sleeping or had slept with them and I felt like I was going to be part of a team or something if I joined in. haha
