Can a Girl & Boy be best Friends ? Blackshoes: Only if they're part of the same family ..Other than that". one must consult ,,When Harry meet Sally (Harry Burns: Would you like to have dinner?... Just friends. Sally Albright: I thought you didn't believe men and women could be friends. Harry Burns: When did I say that? Sally Albright: On the ride to New York. Harry Burns: No, no, no, I never said that... Yes, that's right, they can't be friends. Unless both of them are involved with other people, then they can... This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted... That doesn't work either, because what happens then is, the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with. Like it means something is missing from the relationship and why do you have to go outside to get it? And when you say "No, no, no it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship," the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are. I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it. Which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends. ) (Edited by Blackshoes)  aadhavangha: seriously??? you don't know of a good man and woman friend? Yes i understand the if the woman is in a relationship maybe her spouse would get the impression that she and her "man friend" are not just friends. If he trusts her he won't doe. But why do we get the impression that when a man and woman are "just friends" that they are in some sort of relationship and have intimate feelings for each other? Blackshoes: Hmm .I've have heard of them ?Yet: I've never meet any man or woman that can continue with true long term friendship.. Many surface friendships ..Mostly within work place .. When Harry meet Sally is very serious !That's what makes so Funny .. (Edited by Blackshoes)  delightful_dina: I have a male bestfriend that has been my bestfriend for twenty years and no he is not gay lol We have been there for each other in lifes ups and downs and will continue to do so until death do us part. We tell each other everything (good/bad) and give our opinion even if not requested. Our friendship has bothered others when we are in relationships however it has out lived all of them and will continue to do so. So yes i 100% believe a girl and boy can be bestfriends! aadhavangha:
kk.. and this friend of yours has never tried to come unto you not even once??? Never looked at you in a attractive way?
delightful_dina: Hit on me yes once and only once however i made it clear we had a good friendship i did not want to ruin with any silliness   somewherepurple: Sure! But they need to have sex too. Otherwise it gets in the way. Have sex, then it's not an issue.  bitebackchat: I'd like to think so ive never had an awkward moment and i'm asexual can't say ive ever had someone try to impose on me for their own gains. foosquad: Yes. I have had numerous female friends as a single man and continue those friendships now that I am in a relationship. It's neither impossible nor uncommon; it just takes maturity and respect on both sides.  saltuponwounds: yes, it can happen. however I find it very difficult to maintain a relation with a woman and still be freinds with another. That is why I leave myself open for both male and female lovers. it just makes things easier.  tinkerbellfaery: I have a lot of female friends, but have had a couple of awkward situations when sex was an issue and turning down the offer helped keep the relationship going. We explored each others bodies but there was no interaction.  LaMuZe1916: my best friend growing up was a male, never any weirdness.. my best friend now and past 14 years is my husband.. so I'd have to say for me, yes, boys and girls can be best friends. tsez4ok: As one matures, I believe it's easier to have female friends without any (or minimal) sexual innuendo, etc. It's a mindset about respect for either gender. I'v seen women having a much easier time with male friends than men with females as friends. Just an observation. T doma116: Yes they certainly can be friends.As I can be to females because I am not a threat.I will be married forty two years in January. tsez4ok: I have several female friends from social and business groups-- we have a good time together, even though some spouses ( husbands or wives) can be a drag socially-lol. tinkerbellfaery: Yup, got lots of very sexy girl friends, but they are strictly off limits in that sense, Nothing like true friendship, however some struggle with it at times, hence we loose contact (Post deleted by Fog Swept Glade )  CremeBrulee52: Yes, of course. I've been very fortunate to have a few very good friends, male friends, in my life (Post deleted by Angry Beaver ) Fog Swept Glade: Every attempt at forging a relationship with a male on the internet has failed or resulted in a loss of friendship established in person for me. Men keep women as friends online as sexual prospects or because they‘re itty bitty & cute. A woman is never concerned about how you feel or what you need. Men ask or just say it. Women are sexual oppertunities or they are relatives. |
