Can men and women just be friends?
Posted : 8 Sep, 2010 06:25 PM

If a guy says he's just looking for friends, does he really mean it? What does he really mean? Is it possible for men and men to form deep friendships without at least one person developing feelings for the other? Guys do you have any girls that are friends that started off friends and STAYED that way? I need viewpoints on this! :)

I've had a few good married female friends and it worked out for me. I knew that they were unavailable and because of that, they were freed up to be cool with me and not worry that I'd be attracted to them. In fact, I tend to seek out married females for friendship because the whole attraction thing is immediately off the table, and so there's a lot more peace and understanding.



It is possible for single men and women to be friends, but here's the deal: men will NOT want to be friends first if they are interested in dating you. That is because if they do ever ask you out, and you aren't interested, they lose the friendship and any shot at romance.



So only ask a guy to be your friend if you're not interested in him. It will make things a LOT easier for him.

I met a guy on this site a year ago. There was definitely interest on both sides at first, but the nearly 700 miles between us kept us from getting any more serious than "just online friends." We both dated other people. We kept in touch via Facebook and Skype. We became very close. But there was no real attraction there because we'd never met. At least, not physical attraction.

Then, something happened that I didn't expect. We ended up in the same state (just a 90 minute drive apart), and decided to meet in person. We talked for 2 hours, and all of a sudden things changed for me. I was very surprised to find myself extremely attracted to him. It was all one sided, from what I could tell, so I have not told him just how hard it is to keep on being "just friends" when I would like for us to be more than friends. Realistically, though, the distance is a huge problem for both of us.

So, yes men and women can just be friends, but it's not easy. I could ruin a wonderful friendship by telling him how I feel. I choose not to. Instead, I keep quiet, and I keep my options open. If God leads him to initiate something more than friendship with me, I'll happily agree.
