Can Men and Women Really Be Friends?

[cravinghumor]

A man and woman can be friends without things coming between them

[tch717]

Well, it's complicated.

I think they can be friends but there will always be a secret attraction whether anyone admits it or not.

[puffInside]

Yes to this. I've had experience becoming friends with a girl with over 5 years already, no romantic feeling after all for both. We just scold each other if we fcked up with our partners.

I think yes, there are no really pure friendship between men and women. So I don't think men and women can be best closed friend

[littletinysun]

yes, i've been best friends with boys since primary sch and there are nothing romantic going on! it's more than 13 years of friendship

If anyone is in a straight relationship, it is nigh on impossible to be friends with someone of the other sex, even if you knew them before you met your significant other. One of the tenets of cross gender friendship is attraction (albeit maybe an unconscious one) and that can always lead to trouble.

I believe men and women can become friends. I've had a lot of friends in the past who were girls. Don't get me wrong, occasionally a man and a girl who are just friends might go to the next level but that doesn't always happen. So yeah, I believe that men and women can be JUST friends.

[Fairy Maiden]

Why not?
Just that both must be very clear of their feelings, although there may be times where it just seems like the line may be crossed, it is important to remind one another what the friendship is about.
