I used to know a girl whom I would consider to have been one of my best friends...we knew very well it wouldn't be anything more than that.
When you develop feelings though, that's when it can become tricky esp. if one person doesn't feel romantically inclined towards the other. Can your friendship continue if you seen them with a girlfriend/boyfriend? I have heard people claim that this has happened to them, and they have managed to remain friends (one man claimed he'd even gone to his female friend's wedding despite being romantically rejected by her).
I guess if it was me, I don't think I'd be able to handle it, and thus have to call time on our friendship.

I worried about loosing a particular friend many times over his girlfriend, my boyfriend, falling out, not seeing each other for years...but weve always remained friends...even with a few awkward moments over the years. He came to my wedding with his then girlfriend. Actually...if I'm totally honest....see g him with her .....even at my wedding was difficult....so....I don't know how he felt even to this day. He didn't marry her...but he is happily married now and his wife and I are friends x

I think....even in the past few weeks....my opinion on this has altered. Attraction....I can be attracted to someone and want to spend time with them....man or woman....but its a mental attraction...which to me is much more important than a physical attraction. However....I don't want to jump into bed with everyone I connect with.....so I'm leaning more to saying yes its possible

Obviously I have friends of the opposite sex...but not ones I spend time with alone. I mean....I don't meet a male pal to go for a meal or a movie because my husband simply wouldn't like it! It's not always simple when you or they have a partner....not everyone is cool with it.

It's incredibly unlikely that one of the parties doesn't want more in such an arrangement, whether they admit it or not.

Well the conventional wisdom runs contrary to this thought:

I'm certain of it. I've always had male friends throughout my life. We've never taken it beyond that.
