a thread for this, but didn't know what to search for it under....

Do you think it's possible for a straight gal and a straight guy to be 'just friends'?

Ummm what did you do for the last 18 years of your life? only talk to females?

I'm going to assume that some guy has just asked you out, and you're not to keen. (correct?)
I spose you just gotta decide what you personally want (and not be influenced by others), but remember; you only live once.

Of course I've talked to guys before....

No some guy did not just ask me out, I just wonder if it's just me that seems to have really good friendships with the opposite sex, and then them falling apart cause of confusion of what the other is actually after...

No your not the only one with that....well for me, i have good relationships with the opposite sex, but i havnt reached the stage of the relationship falling apart...and hopefully i never will.

But, i have heard people talk about this before, and some people would say the reason why your relationship is falling apart is that there is no such thing as a platonic relationship...i however disagree with this...

oh thats life. but if it happens often you should look how you portray yourself (i.e. your body language, how you dress, how you act, if you flirt etc).

Like seriously is that really a question you need to ask? I mean what do you do? Leave the books alone and go socialise! lol:hammer:

That's an odd article to be reminded of given the OP's post...

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/wdc/205576820.html follows on well from yours though.

Yes. I have a few close female friends, that are awesome, whom I have no intention to date/fuck/hook in with.

Interesting that as a general rule in this thread it is mostly girls saying that guys and girls can be 'just friends'......

Personally I think a girl can be 'just friends' with a guy, but I think it is much less common for the guy to think the same way because given the chance he would **** her (generalisation yes, but it's mainly what I notice).
