Can men and women just be friends. Nothing more?

In my experience they usually want more after a time.

Yes. I currently share an apartment with a male friend.

there will always be some men (or women) who secretly - or even obviously - wouldn’t mind more than friendship with their buddy o pal. but platonic friendship between a guy and a girl with no want for anything else are 100% possible

There are certainly lots of female friends of mine that are married, I don't want anything more from them.

I think as long as guys know your boundaries, you should be OK, of course that assumes they are decent guys.

I think most will try it on... It's up to you to lay down the framework

Women can, men cannot

My best friend is a female and we have been friends since 1978 - nothing more than friends

I’m sure it’s possible, but I feel one person always ends up crushin whether it’s harmless or not but there are plenty of platonic friendships as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think it's possible but there need to be clear and defined boundaries and those boundaries need to be respected

I can't speak for other men, but I'm friends with quite a few women in real life and I expect nothing from them. I don't see gender as an issue when it comes to friendship.

In my experience it is certainly possible to be good friends and no more than that.

Can be yes but it is not easy to stay between the friendship lines.

The only way it’s possible if something more than friendship happened already in the past..for me anyway

Yeah I think if your married to the guy he would atleast want your love...

@LoneStarPink well if you have drawn a line in the sand and just want friendship in your case is right as you are married that is all well and good. if your male friends wants too go beyond this line i think it is time for you too end your friendship. if you do not you do not know may end lies and deceit not worth your husband finding out spoiling your marriage over an extramarital relationship you are not interested in and do not want to be involved in

Safe assumption

I believe so yes

Of course..

uh hum...

it's depends on the connection , situation.
I have had women friends where it just stays friendly.
With others it can become more intimate.
Both are possible

Well that could be true , has he had any reason to think otherwise about yours and his relationship

You're married to a guy but just want to be friends with him? Idk?

Yes, there are many people (including myself) who have platonic friendships with those of the opposite sex. I know a number of women who are good friends, but in each case I don’t think either of us is interested in having any kind of sexual relationship with the other.

I've been friends with many women, and it's never been more than friendships.

yes.and most men do want more.

Yes they do

you're not as attractive as you think you are, is what I'd say.

and yes, they can be just friends

I would say no.



Case: we were friends and fell in love.... he now has a gf & wants to be friends.... not going to work. He claims he wants to be with me... why would he do this?? He's dumb

Case: my exhusband was "best friends" with 'her' ... they had an affair behind my back and he got her pregnant.....

Point: not at all. Being an acquaintance is more reliable than being "friends"...

Only if they are both fugly.
