i do think guys and girls can be friends. i have this really good guy friend and we get along great

sure ~ if both have common interest ^^.

Yes they can, but you can tell the difference when not to cross over the line and especially not feel tempted to do something immoral by being alone with them. If I have some boy friends then I would take along some girl friends and spend time with them, but not just me myself. Nor get yourself in trouble by start being a 'bud' to the boys because they do need to see you as a girl to be protected, cared for, and looked after. I know this culture now has a big... I don't know, taboo on seeing boys and girls together and just leaves them alone... that's the problem. I found too that I tremendously enjoy spending time with men because sometimes they are just so caring, kind, and nice to ladies; though, they are a dime in.... well lots of searching.

If one of them is gay. I use to think that maybe a girl and a guy can be just friends but usually relationships start off as being just friends. So unless one of them already has a girl/boy friend and is totally in like with them then, no I don't really think that that's possible.

both guys and girls can be just friends. i mean, i have male friends and we are just friends and nothing more. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. most of the time, we just joke around or hang out... it's alright to have male friends... socialising is good for us!!

sure we can i mean i myself have guy friends and it's nothing bog deal sometimes it's even much more better to have guy friends than girlfriends,you just get along really well,well that's what i think anyway

I think guys and girls can just be friends but I think that it could lead to something more if you really like hanging out with that one person. I find it hard to stay good friends with guys without rumors flying around that you're going out and making things a bit awkward.

yeah of course girls and guys can be just friends
sometimes they're much more comaptible and theres way less competition...
esp. for a girl cuz we've all seen cliques gone wrong

yes of course they can
!!

In my world, I think so.
In the world, I dont think so.
Like, I read somewhere that hormones attracts ;]]
Like, if a guy and a girl has known each other forever and lived together, they're bound to develope love feelings for each other o.o''

Guys and girls can be friends, however, in my experience any close friend I developed of the opposite sex, I fell for. Though soon after I would decide I did not want to risk losing them and the interest would snap off, and the friendship remained intact and quite close. So it just depends on how you handle said friendship. Not all boy x girl relationships end in romance, and most of the time, or from what I have seen, girls tend to get all giddy at the prospect of dating someone they were friends with, and things get shot all up, it just depends on whether or not you are willing to back down from feeling interested if such feelings occur, or if you would rather give a relationship a shot.

that same thing happened to me too. me and this guy weere getting closer as friends but then we started liking each other. but we want to keep it as friends. but i think it is possible.just they own't be as close

I think it's possible for such a relationship to exist, I mean if because you are married, you can't continue your friendship with a male colleague or some old friends, I will reconsider the marriage. If before marriage, I think it's possible too, but more like family like. I don't truly see him as a man, but you must be careful to not overstep the boundary (if he has a girlfriend, that is)

Laughably yes. In fact, sometimes you get more respect that way. You're a colleague rather than a possession. If you're treated badly you can walk or you can accept their apology. Less likely that you'll be taken for granted.

I truly believe boys and girls can be friends if they're true to themselves and true to each other!!!!
I have one male best friend since I was 3 years old, he's like a brother and nothing more!
But I also believe it's hard to be friends with a guy if one of the parts want or had wanted something more than friendship... in that case I don't believe friendship can work...

It can be, bestfriend or no, I was a bit of a tomboy when I was younger, so I don't exactly mix that great with girls, I mean, I do, but, heck, I prefer causing trouble than play with barbie. So yeah, I got quite a bit of friends who are guys.

Sure they can, if they're ex-bf/gf. Something about having had a relationship and knowing it would never work out helps you from becoming something more. Yet at the same time there was that common interest that drew you together in the first place.

As an extremely old person ( I am twenty) I can say with a lot of certainty that people of the opposite sex can still be friends, it just seems to get real awkward the end of High school. I think it because everyone is half freaked out because its practically the end of most of your life with your friends from High school (you will start working/going to school at different places areas even countries), and your hormones are way to high thanks to puberty so you all get strange ideas.

Most of the whole can guys and girls be friends seems to go back to the normal, unless you like a person, and that is a bit hard because you don't really always know if you like that person a lot as a friend or if you love them romantically. Though I think that is something that you can get mixed up no matter what.

Yep it can happen. I know people who have many guy friends who've only been friends and nothing more. But both parties have to feel the same way with each other for it to happen.

iderno i think they can sometimes but its only if they were friends from wayy before like childhood friends or your parents knew each other for a long time. But then really if you have a guy friend you can't just like not feel anything for him, there's times where your kinda flirty or like playing around overlyfriendly with him. But then theres always where you guys are just very very good friends <- kinda low thou
