Only if I had ZERO (and I mean zero) attraction toward her - otherwise nope. Some guys hang around hoping she “sees the light” and throws him a umm bone - that is not very smart or healthy. Waiting on someone to “settle” for you OMG just don’t do it.

yes ...... i also have many male friends and have no interest in having sex with them..but they are great to hang with and party with...... I also like being friends with men I have been sexual with and am no loner interested in pursuing a sexual relationship with them, but don't want to lose their friendship.

Forusre! My bestfriend is a women we have been bestfriends for 7 years now. I have never looked at her in anyway more then my bestfriend. And she has never crossed that line too like me. Our friendship is awesome and if not for her I would of not be back trying to find love again. She has been there for me just like I have for her. That is what bestfriends are for.

And any women I am with can't deal with that my bestfriend is a women then that women is not for me.

yes i do believe that men and woman can only be friends. I have several male friends and that is it, they are friends. When they need a shoulder to cry on i am there and they know i will listen, and if i need someone to talk to i know i can call them up and vent. I have a problem with being friends with other females do to the fact that most of my female friends in the past have been back stabbing. I can't say all have i have one best friend who has seen me throgh alot of stuff and wouldn't trade her for the world. But yes men and women can be friends in my book.

Yes, of course, although I will say that it's important to be careful with the boundaries of the friendship. I was astounded recently to realize that my best friend right now is a male almost half my age, but, the truth is, we enjoy each other's company and we just plain ole like and respect each other, and we have a lot in common. I have several very close male friends and I value their friendships so much! I'm thankful that I have men who can help me to understand males (well, as much as I CAN understand them, I mean) and just be around when I need things that males do. No, no, no, get your mind out of the gutter! I don't mean sexual things-I mean like putting my mailbox back up or telling me what's wrong with my car, etc.

I don't intend to have sex with any of my male friends, even though I'm attracted to one of them. We're both pretty careful about that!

Yes you can be friends with people of the opposite sex.. and not have sex
No- let me rephrase that: YOU might not be able to be friends with people of the opposite sex- BUT yes there are millions and millions of people who have friends of the opposite sex- that do not have a sexual relationship.For example: Me- personally I have lots of guy friends- that I never had sex with- or I even think about having sex with.. and the idea of having sex with- no auctully- my mind doesn't even go there!!!

Well I think we can all be friends, but I would agree with a few others that only if there is no physical attraction. Even if its one sided it could end up awkward at some point. If there is even a one sided attraction and drinks involved...lets just say it could either be bad or really good. I would like to have more male friends but the few I've had have ruined it at some point by making an advance in the sexual nature..its just not the same after that. We should be able to be friends with the opposite sex but I think we actually have to think of them as a friend just like we would with our friends of the same sex...I would never snuggle up to a girlfriend on the couch so why would I do it with a guy if he was just a friend. Just a thought.

Well I believe men and women can be platonic friends, I have a few male friends and they respect me and are very mature in their approach to our friendship. However I have in the past had problems in this area, with guys wanting to be my friend in the hope that something more would become of it....it can be tricky! However any good Relationship/Marriage should have it's roots firmly based on good solid friendship!

I have a few ladies who are "e-friends",have left the door open with a few with no worries,being"friends can actually be more fun The tricky part is when there's "interest" in more than being "friends", you go-out and they get "picked-up" That's why I hate being single" and don't get-out much,why go without an S/O Guys will be guys,no law against it what is "marriage", hopefully just a really awseome "frienship"

I'd like to think that marriage is based on friendship..but think about it if your best friend was of the opposite sex would you marry them? I have often said that if my best friend was a man I'd marry her but she wouldn't be her if she had a penis. I think you have to be very compatible and honest to be married but I would never think it would replace my good friendships..its different. Its not just friends and not friends with benefits..its a marriage and call me crazy but I want to find the man I'm with very attractive if I intend to spend the rest of my life with him.

I am single and have male friends. Yes it is possible to have male friends and no sex. As far as go out! If you are in a relationship/unless they went with you...you have no business going.

Yes its possible to be friends with someone of the opposite sex,
I had a very dear Friend for 9 years, met her before she was married, and the friendship
continued even during the ending of my marriage, and the beginning of hers, sadly due to
the tasks of family life for her, we have become distant in the past couple of years,
but we still email each other on B-days and holidays.
And keep in mind, that we both have admited to having a strong physical attraction to
each other as well as emotional.
But this never led to us having sex. or the temptation.

How about a new Federal Law...no sex without a marriage Exactly,the whole same-sex marriage thing,can two people the same gender procreate the species "naturally",not" Your best "friend" just might be someone you can have sex with It's just a piece of paper saying you can legally do certain things together you could do anyway Exactly,a regular S/O to go-out and have some fun with

that makes no sense to me..we are best friends, and very attracted to each other and have an emotional bond..but we don't have sex or are even tempted to have sex. If anyone had a relationship with someone like that then why in the world would you not marry that person? I found my match but meh were just friends...I don't get it!

Of course you can..I have male friends from my high school days.
I've never had sex with them and would never consider it.
Most of us live in different states now but we remain in contact.
