People out there still thinking that a guy and a girl can't be JUST friends?? Strictly...

I was best friends with a guy in high school - in fact he had a gf. we never once crossed a line. we were like brother n sister.

It's always hard for me to say yes with conviction. There is something in me that doesn't 100% believe they can. Maybe on the surface..

I've seen and experienced too much to think otherwise.

It doesn't tell about a guy or a girl. It tells what those persons(considered here as people) actually have in their minds.

Well it depends on the guy and girl. It’s probably impossible for the specific people who think that.

Some of my closest friends are women. Strictly platonic. It's not difficult.

Lilymoon · F

Yeah of course they can. Lol

My longest lasting friendships are with men.

Only those who are themselves incapable of maintaining such friendships.

SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M

Yeah lol. I've had plenty of female friends and everyone around was like, "Yeah I know you like her" but I didn't... and if I did, I wouldn't keep it a secret... I'm not 5.

I do think that most often it get complicated unless you are from certain culture or friendship groups where this is common. In my area from what Ive seen its not common people say they are friends but I always find out that they dated before or want to date.

Yes...theres only a problem when one person doesnt respect that the other person isnt in to them

PrincessVelvet · F

The majority of my friends are male. Never been a problem.

Ofc it can be like that if there's respect.

Yeah, it sucks that some people can’t get past it

Azlotto · M

Strictly platonic?

I never have succeeded in that.
