Can guys and girls really be friends?!

Can guys and girls really be friends?!
Posted By: Victoria Butler on August 05, 2005

You know I would really like some male responses to this question as well, cause you all think so differently from us. I mean I was told that guys always analyze a female's looks before they ever become your friend. Any sistas know what I'm talking about? You be swearing to yourself, your friends and your boyfriend that you and this guy are just friends, but then you find out he only trying to get with you! What's really good?! I mean are you really my friend or was trying to get with me first??!!LOL

To answer the question in the topic...YES! My bestfriend is a female and we have a very pure friendship, we aren't attracted to each other, we never have been, and I highly doubt if we will ever be. We are both pretty good looking people, but we just have a friendship that is one of the coolest in the world, that's not to be broken! I have had other female friends where it started off with me tryna get with them or whatnot, but once i got to know the person it was like "hey she's pretty cool", but people are always checking each other out, so you never know whats hidden inside of anyone's mind...boy or girl. And it doesnt necessarily have to be an attraction from the start maybe the guy discovers something within a girl that he likes and then becomes attracted to her? The question should be can guys and girls really remain friends? So I dont think there is a universal answer to your question, it varies from friendship to friendship....PEACE & LOVE -=Fresh=-

I can only tell you that if you a nice, attractive female, its hard not to consider the more than friends deal, but alot times it starts as friends and becomes more. Dont get me wrong becuz some dudes play games and act before they make their move so you just have to look at the little things and realize that we always wonder that possibity if we like you like that cuz some guls we could be friends wit but neva wont to do anything with.

I just got through expressing my feeling to my female friend and it didn't go how I wanted it to. When I first met her I had already knew that I wanted her. I chose to be her friend hoping that it was going to turn in to something more but it didn't. We still cool but it's not the same. So honestly if both friends are attractive they're not going to be friends long either because they both like each other or one does and the other doesn't!

i would say yes, i think one of the first reactions is ya im tryna get wit this girl, but afta u get to talkin wit a person u find out whether or not ur gonna be friends or jus a person ur tryna get wit. one of my best-friends is a girl but i kno the first reaction when i saw her was damn she cute lemme get at her. but afta i talked to her we jus became good friends.

Im goin to have to lean to the NO department because, its just not in our nature. I kno one guy said that him and the girls friendship is pure, its a load of crap because at one point and time he wanted her or he still does and is waiting on his chance to come up again but hey to each their own but imma have to say no.

Well i believe that guys and girls can be friends. Most of my friend are females ( i only have 5 and 3 off 5 are ladies). I believe that a female and a male can be the best of friends if they don't let gender interfere. If you can look at a girl as your sister instead of a girlfriend than you cool, but if you trying to go with her than your headed your trouble. SO again my answer is yes a male and a female can be friends
