Boy Girl Friendships!
Hey, this question is something that I get a lot and used to get quite frequently because my best friend is a guy. I just want to know what your feelings are on guy/girl friendships. Do you think they can just be friends forever? Will they eventually fall for one another? Will sexual tension get the best of them? I've heard them all, my friend and I have been best friends since third grade and are now seniors in high school and everyone, even outside our circle of friends thinks that some day, some how, we are gonna date because guy/girl friendships are impossible. I disagree, as does he. What do you think?

OH MY GAWD!!!! I get asked this all the time. Yes, they can. I mean sure there is a strong chance of mutual feelings or some sort of crush going on. But yes, guys and girls can be just friends. I am a girl and i PREFER guy friends over girls and guys love me as a friend because i'm kind of like a guy in alot of ways. So it really all depends on the guy and girl involved.

You can be a guy and girl and just be friends! People are so stereotypical and maybe even hope that it might happen. My best friend is a guy and we've been best friends for 10 years. We use to get 'when will you date?' 'are you going to get married?' and all that over stuff. At first it pissed me off and then I thought who cares what they think? I know he's my friend and that's all he'll ever be. I'm not attracted to him like that if anything he's just like a brother to me. Ignore what people may say!

It's extremely possible. My best friend is a guy, and we've known each other for 6 years now. He was even my man of honour in my wedding!
It's very possible to like someone for who they are without having romantic feelings towards them. Would a bisexual person be unable to be "just friends" with everyone because they're attracted to both sexes?

I agree with you and your friend. Not all boy girl friendships become a relationship. It depends on the people in the friendship. Usually when you are really good friends with a person, you get to know them better. As time goes on and the bond gets stronger and you accept their personalities, good and bad. They become more bearable to be around and qualities that might have kept you from turning it into something more become normal which is how lots of boy girl friendships become more. This is definitely not the truth all the time. In your case, it would be an exception. Don't let the other people bother y'all about it. I hope this helped :)
