Remain friends or is it inevitable that one of them would develop feelings for the other. Can platonic friendships transcend genders? Or does our instinct drive us all? Genuinely curious about what the gen pop of sw thinks.
I have a guy bestfriend. However we try to create distance when we had our partners. Tbh sometimes, maybe we may become a good couple, since we've been bestfriends for too long and we have had our shared stories. But when I thought how beautiful our friendship is, I wouldn't want to take it unto the next level. I'm pretty confident as well that we didn't have or had a feeling for each other.
One time, I remember we had a talk if we can be friends with benefits. Then we ask ourselves, do we love each other? Of course we love each other in a platonic way, but not a romantic way. Please note we didn't do anything. And things stay the same.
i was going to say it's possible but after looking back on my own life i don't think it is. i had a friend all throughout middle and high school and i found out after i had left school that she had a crush on me. though idk i can't see why not.
@caPnAhab would chemistry just happen bc instinct ?

Of course it's possible. If one is gay and the other is hetero, if one or both are partnered and love their partners, if they just don't happen to find each other attractive in "that" way -- all examples. I've been just friends many times with guys from kindgergarten right thru college. I'm very sure none of them were secretly crushing on me.
It's possible. If someone has difficulty with it, that's more on them or the people they're talking to than anything else. People like to chalk up their own issues to stuff they can't control
Yes, I've had several. To be totally truthful, there were probably some nights - with each of them - when one more drink could have upset the equilibrium, but it didn't happen
@userfawkes1105 I'm sure there are exceptions and something more can develope from a friendship but you can from a deep connection with someone regardless of their gender
