Yes they can. I'm friends with a great deal of males, and we are like brothers. I wouldnt think anything beyond friendship with them

agreed, i am the only girl in my group, and the majority of the guys don't want me. I think of them all as brothers, and they rock =)

my friend is getting really pissed at him, i think she might actually end up getting a hit man (sounds like it anyway)

Aww, thats great. How did you find him?
we were friends for ages, then it just kinda happened..
ironic for this thread lol

hes not your typical "good guy", but he is to me =)
although it does get annoying how little i can manipulate him. he just knows me too well =P

is there such a thing? if there is, and you have one, i envy you greatly.
yeah there is, you just gotta find them.
and i dont mean looking for a good guy, more looking beyond layers and finding the actual guy. if hes good, your lucky =)

I don't think I could be in a romantic relationship with a platonic friend....the longer you know them, the harder it is. It would be totally awkward, and if something goes wrong, there's a good chance that the friendship could be broken, or you could be caught in one of those "awkward friendships", like trying to be friends with an ex.

ive done that D:
i was really close friends with a guy, then he broke up with his gf, i broke up with my bf and one bottle of vodka later...
either way, we tried the whole "friends" thing after, and it just doesnt work..

i think you are taking relationships as granted because there is no such thing as a perfect marriage... we have to work hard to sustain our relationships.

yea i know marrying a friend is kind of weird..

i don't think it can happen, from personal experience.
You think that there are no romantic feelings between the two of you but the other person feels differently.
What about friends after relationships? Is that possible?

Totally, One of my best friends is a guy and we've been friends for eight years. The idea of anything romantic between us is just wrong. We know eachother too well.

it can totally happen i am great friends with a guy and he is always there for me 'but we would never be anything more than friends. He's the best. ALso i have another guy friend and nothing will happen there either.
but i don';t believe in friends after breakup no matter what you tell yourself you still partially resent them.
There's a reason for that ya know?

lol, because men can never be friends with women without an underlying intent to fuck their brains out.

dude this thread died so whichever cuntface-clitbreah-slutass revived it can go die.

HOWEVER, not all men are like that so stop generalising and grow the fuck up.

Yes, of course.

I have plenty of guy friends that I've known since I was a kid. And I know plenty of guys who have girl friends. And there is NOTHING there.

Just friends.
