I Believe A Guy And A Girl Can Be Just Friends

Why not?! I don’t see the problem in this. Sometimes when the other starts dating...distance grows but I think as long as there’s an overall understanding, there shouldn’t be a problem. I know some other halves can make guy/girl friendships hard but that’s where trust and honesty with communication comes into play.

Generally yes..!

Even though several factors do come into play. When the emotions are maintained under control, assuming, and or with the understanding that nothing else other than pure friendship between the two is all that can exist, yess, of course, both opposite sex individuals can be true close friends regardless of age differences. And when one or the other does date someone else, there should not be any jealousy going or coming from any direction. Since there's nothing else but just genuine friendship between the two good boy/girl friends. The problem arises when one or the other does want more than friendship, but one or the other does not! So that person who wants to be more than friends, is the one who starts acting up being jealous when the one he or she loves as more than a friend, starts dating someone. At that point when jealousy creeps up or out, then it's not a true, unadulterated friendship any more! So the moral point here is to always be clear as can nicely and respectfully and specifically be made, as needed, when needed, that one's desire is to only be friends, and nothing more! That is, to avoid any and all misunderstandings and heartaches that may arise for whatever misreadings👍!

Exactly. I mean, I'm gay, so I can definitely be friends with any girl I want, but does that mean I can't be friends with guys too? Hell no!

@SubZeroSlays808 I have a better chance of stealing YOU than your girlfriend. Ugh.
SmileSunshine · 31-35, F
Haha that’s so true. See point proven. :) @ManicMicah

@ManicMicah Yeah, it's never a good sign when your significant other is that jealous. It just screams the fact that they have something to hide :P I wouldn't be surprised if he was cheating on her.

I am married and my wife has no problem with me being friends with other females, same as I have no problem with her being friends with other males. We both know there are boundaries of course, and we are each other's priority. Neither of us would just hangout with someone of the opposite sex, and we would never let that friendship interfere with our time together. If we sensed that the person was getting a little too close, we would end it right then and there out of pure respect for each other and our marriage (especially if one of us began to feel uncomfortable). But over all, we don't mind at all if the other's acquaintance is of the opposite sex.

I think it's a tough call, if the mutual chemistry is there, then friends only could turn out to be impossible, after all isn't that what your looking for? an internal lust so strong ,nothing could put the fire out, short of not seeing one another?

I know for me that’s hard. When I like a woman I do want to hug them and more too. Just being honest.
SmileSunshine · 31-35, F
So when you like someone there is no friendship...it’s straight physical? Is that with every woman you come across? @Mmiker

You are headed towards a love that is made in heaven when you become just friends.
