I Believe A Guy And A Girl Can Be Just Friends
Though I do not think my wife would agree where I am concerned.
The reality is that men and women can be just friends, even when there is some attraction there. It is only natural that good friends can get a little flirty at times but without that meaning there is any anticipation of some kind of romantic or intimate relationship possible. I have had a few female friends but for the most part only those who are married don't seem to raise any red flags. There is some irony there, but it is unrelated to the crux of this post.
Even those who have been romantic or even intimate can become friends without having to try to rekindle the past. And it is possible for friends to enjoy something physical as an extension of the friendship and not let that undermine what came before nor create any expectation of repetition.
It really comes down to two things in the end. A guy and a girl who are mature enough and respectful of one another enough to be friends first and foremost no matter what.
