It is probably easier for "gurls" than for guys. Guys aren't picky with who they date and if they are really picky, they are probably gay. Girls can go 5 min. without thinking about sex. Guys cannot. To tell you the truth I would probably date any friend of mine who is a girl if it was socially acceptable for me to. Guys have a much harder time with this stuff than girls.

2 of my really good friends are girls (i am a guy) and they are great. We may not see eye to eye on everything but we tell eachother alot.

yes they can. 2 of my best friends are guys, but i couldn't bring myself to do anything with them. ever.

definately I think a guy and a girl could be friends without taking their friendship a step further, I've done it and a lot of my friends have guy friends that they have never wanted to hook up with

Oh, I understand completely, Ohio. How about, a little insecure Truth? You have got to be ****ing ****ting me. Thank you and have a nice day.

Now now risika, we have to be nice and set a good example for the children on here. I dunno, I just felt that was appropriate to try to make this a less hostile board.

A little insecure, Truth? You have got to be ****ing kidding me.

Haha, finn your fine. No need to apologize.......Just don't let it happen again lol

Damn, sorry.

Footnote-Twasn't really meant to sound like newbie bashing, I was just in a really moronic state of mind.

Finn, Truth is a a she.

And I believe that what wavemaster meant by the wtf is that the topic was about guys and girls being only friends and nothing more, not about jealousy.

what meanith thou by wtf? he is big t Truth, we must not question big T truth.

WTF?

WELL I HAVING A BEST FRIEND WHO IS A GUY CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THE GIRL. I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE, mY BEST FRIEND IS A GUY. WHEN I STARTED TO DATE MY BOYFRIEND, HE GOT JEALOUS OF ME SPENDING TIME WITH MY FRIEND BECAUSE HE WAS -- WELL A GUY. YES MY BOYFRIEND IS A LITTLE INSECURE, BUT WHEN YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH ANOTHER GUY WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM HIM.

NOW WE ARE GOING SMOOTH BUT IT IS A LITTLE INTIMIDATING FOR BOYFRIEND A YOUR GUY FRIEND.

I have many guy friends. I think that there will always be a point in time that I see one of them as more then just friends but I can't imagine actually acting on these feelings. My friendship with them all is just priceless, I have been there for them through many sad break-ups and they have been here for me as well. I love them all and they are just like brothers to me. I truly value our friendship and would want for it to stay at that.

They cannot be friends. They are enemies.

My best guy friend and I have been friends since the eigthth grade(5 years ago) and we have never taken it to the next level. We've never even discussed it or thought about it. The feelings just aren't there. When you truly feel that someone is a friend as we do, nothing more follows those feelings. To think of doing anything out of friendship relations would be equivalent to thinking those thoughts about my brother. I can also tell my best guy friend about anything and he understands more likely than one of my girl friends. So, that makes our friendship even better. Trust me it can happen, but you have to find those guys out there that aren't just looking for a way into your pants.

no. If girls and guys become friends, they are thrown into the nearest river inhabited by...um...piranas (sp.)

My best friend is a girl

I think that guys and girls can be good friends. I have both types of friends (guys and girls). I don't think that any of my guy friends and me could go the next step because we are too good of friends to risk that friendship and I don't think that I could look at my guy friends as anything other than friends. But I do think that guys and girls can be friends.

Jamaica... My sister dated her best guy friend from high school, he cheated on her and created a baby with the girl he cheated with, now they are no longer friends. I find it a little sad that I have never dated and I'm younger than you, but I still know more about this stuff than you do. And if you want to talk about logic, chew on this: Would you rather date someone you've known for a few weeks and break up with them a couple months later only to feel pain for a short period of time, or date someone you've known all your life and break up with them and lose them as a best friend as well as a boyfriend? I think any logically thinking female would choose the former.

(im speaking from the male point of view here) yes, but only if the guy has absolutely no trace of atraction towards the girl, and already knows from the start that he will never have anything with her. that way he can loosen up and really be friends with her. so..if you're a girl, then yes, it IS posible, but be aware that most guys prefer male friendships because their not forced to switch to "potential-girlfriend-near" mode. (also, most guys dont think its posible to be friends with a girl without being atracted to her...so...)
