Your opinion

[girl_in_a_boy_forum]

1. One of my best friends and I were having this discussion last night. He argued that a guy and a girl can't be friends without one of them feeling attracted to the other. I argued that it's possible to be friends without attraction. What say you?

He's not an idiot. But it's nice to see that someone out there agrees with me ^___^

I've had plenty of female friends that I wasn't attracted to. Were they attracted to me? Possibly. Did they seem like it? Some did. Some didn't. Since they are two opposite sexes, there may be some physical attraction on some level, but whether they recognize it is a totally different story.

If it's not sex, it must be something else that excites me. If she has the same positive attitude, that's usually enough "attraction" for me to become friends. Having the same job, hobbies or attending the same school is not enough to become friends. I couldn't care less about WHERE I get to know someone. What matters to me is WHY.

Usually people get the idea a guy cant have female friends because girls dont share interests with us....like theyll talk about their hair and lip gloss (i can't believe i know that haha), and if theres girls who talks about **** youre interested in, friends are hell possible. Ive personally had a friend who's a girl since yr 1 in primary school, and weve stayed friends for 13 yrs now, and shes like a sister to me.

Of course it is possible, to be friends with someone without sharing any intimite feelings, But then again, what do I know, I have sex with every female friend I have :| Well that's just me. But then there are the few people, who HAVE to have a crush on everyone. They are annoying. Myself I know it might seem that way sometimes, but that's just how I go about my life, I talk to everyone, and to be honest, I don't like everyone I meet, I have 4 extremely close friends, My fiance, Docs (Yes I know docs personally.) Nathan, and Ashley. My Fiance on the other hand, I am in Complete love with her, and I know for sure she is the one. Anyways I am getting off topic here.

Yes it is possible to have friend without sharing any crushes and what not, but on the other hand, It is possible to share intimite feelings with everyone you know.

Absolutely right ! It is very possible,but it's also very possible that at certain times you might feel some sort of attraction there but that's perfectly normal

 

[The Shocker]

It's possible in only a few cases.

1. Guy has a hotter gf or dates hotter chicks than the friend.
2. Chick is fugly.
3. I can't remember...

 

[Vincent]

I think it depends on the guy. I have a very hard time keeping girl friends. It's just a personal thing. But I know plenty of guys who have girl friends.

Here is my perspective on this. If a guy is willing to argue with you about this, then ask him if he has feelings for you it will either:

A) Shut him up.
B) He will lie about his feelings.
C) He will come out and tell you he has feelings for you
D) Tell you he is gay.(Actually had this happen once.)
E) Tell you he is Bisexual, and have feelings for you.
F) A combination of the stated above.

Dude, your friend sounds like an idiot.

We are all humans, and i have plenty of girly friends that i don't have any feelings for. Does that mean i don't tease em, be a jackass to em and the usual spiel? Of course not.

Let me remind everyone:

Treat all girls equally as NONE deserve special princess treatment.

Great post. AGREED.

People who say that we're lying when we say we have *genuine* (ie have no feelings for them, etc etc) female friends are ****ing bastards. Amen.

 

[DJ Axton]

Of course it is. Ever seen "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?

I have tonnes of genuine female friends, but only really cuz I go to school with them. If a female is majorly attractive then I might feel something but it's usually just a crush. Like I have one friend who's like an hb8-9 but I got to know her as a friend, and although I had crush on her a while ago (I couldn't do anything about it since she was seeing someone at the time) but the feelings went away after time. Why? When you have genuine female friends you get to know them in a different way.

 

[GaryUranga]

I have female friends who Im not attracted to and theyre probably not attracted to me either, so, its possible

 

[Skilla_Staz]

I'm going to elaborate on my previous post. I've got female friends that I don't really flirt with. However, if we were hangin out and they started getting a little frisky, I'd be down with some nookie. That's attraction to an extent. I've had maybe one or two female friends EVER that I wasn't attracted to. They weren't really close friends either.
