Can Men & Women Just be Friends? (page 7)

StinkyPantz

No one is implying (or maybe I missed it) that people of the opposite sex shouldn't or can't only be friends. I think though, that people need to realize that devoloping feelings for someone isn't on purpose. . it just sorta happens. Two people can become friends with the best of intentions. .but how does the saying go, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"?

"I think people try to give themselves too much credit. We are only animals. . grrrrr . Even if two friends (male & female) never address the issue or discuss it, I think it is most likely that one of them has feelings."

Agreed! Most likely the other person is unaware that their "friend" has some sort of feelings for them and, they will deny that their "friend" has any. If their "friend" was honest they would probably surprise them. This is what I've found with my male friends, they are either gay and not yet "out" or secretly had a crush on me. Nature's a bitch eh?

Azzy-

I have a confession to make. . .

. . I have a crush on you. .

Aztec

". I have a crush on you. . "

Omg! *Blush* Who else would understand your intellectual yet emotional needs? LOL!

I don't think Tink understands that she will never be "one of the guys". She's a cute chick! Guys are, for the most part controlled by their reptilian brain, and here is where some scientific smartie like Alan or Bradley comes and kicks my ass but, men do not choose to be friends with women because they like their personality! They don't! Unless, and this is the qualifier, they are already in a happy, committed relationship or, they are homosexual! Either one is fine! I have friends that are married (happily) and gay (happily). Single, heterosexual men do NOT choose to be "just friends" with a viable, attractive female. Unless, of course, they have already nailed the chick and then, real friendship is entirely possible. There are far too few exceptions to this rule!

We've evolved but, not that much!

I'm good at editing eh Bridget? :-)

There is obviously something wrong if you don't 100% agree with Azzy and myself. . duh!!

SP: LOL! Isn't it well known that there's something wrong with me anyway?

Umm, no Doc, you do not fit any of the criteria of my aformentioned post. You are married. As long as your female friends are married or in committed relationships, you don't fit. My theory is based on two, single heterosexual people of the opposite gender.

Az: Ok, that makes sense.

I enjoy reading everyone's viewpoints on this matter. Opinions vary wildly...

Tink, they said but it don't mean they meant. You are far too feminine to be one of the guys!

If the friend is behaving in a way that make you fill comfortably,yes is possible to be friend with your opposite sex,but generally speaking,is like going too close to the open fire if the other one feels different toward you.Remember the paper near the fire burns very fast,and is very dangerous.That sort of friend can exist but it is quite a personal decision to take ( this is my oppinion) thanks.

Tink-

I was going to tell you the same thing, but I didn't want to crush you. . but honestly, I know you know how things are. You know how a lot of men think, and you know that the second you offered sex to one of your male friends, they'd go for it. You don't fool me .

I too relate to men far better; I've always had more male friends. Girls are competitive and that gets tiring.

Azzy-

Who else would understand your intellectual yet emotional needs?
