Can a guy and a girl be "just friends", even if there's a mutual attraction
and they're both single?
But I'm afraid to get in any relationship, I don't even see how that could work. This is the last year of high school so nothing would even count, as everyone will go their separate ways. And even though I sense that he likes me idk for sure and I find my own feelings to be embarrassing, because in my mind I just want to be friends, but I can't help how I feel, I can't help but feel the attraction. I also wouldn't want a relationship because of how others would react to it, for various reasons. And that whole romance world is totally foreign for me, as I've never even kissed a guy, much less been in a relationship. how do I make sense of this situation? like now we're just friends but it's sort of awkward because there's some sexual tension and we're just two relatively shy, awkward people in general, but will it always be this way, even with our feelings? we don't see each other outside of school, though. once again, the whole socially awkwardness. it's really embarrassing for me just to type this, btw, and if anyone ever asked me IRL if I liked him, I'd lie, lol

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Sometimes the best relationships start from friendships first.I think you should ask him to do something together after school.Then see where that leads.Your a senior in high school & never been kissed? wow thats almost unheard of But dont you want that before you graduate? It seems by what you say theres a mutual attraction & I think you should go for it.Who cares how others will react This Is your life not theirs.About this particular relationship ,sure it might remain the same but if you want it to be something more then we sometimes have to make bold moves in life & wear our hearts on our sleeve.In other words let your feelings be known to him.The heck with eveyone else.Like you said next year youll all be going seperate ways so enjoy your last year of high school with ALL your heart. Good Luck, Cheriscope

I was actually shocked to read this question, because I have quite the similar situation..
I saw a video on YouTube awhile ago and it was a survey type thing asking if guy's and girl's can really be "just friends" all the guys said no and all the girls said yes. By the end of the video it was concluded that apparently no, guy's and girl's cannot be just friends because at some point in the friendship one of them will usually end up liking the other, which in that case they are no longer 'just friends' because one of them has feelings beyond that and wants more than that, and is stuck in the friend zone. So not that that is the same situation, I was just hoping that would help answer your question in some way.
If you guys are both single and attracted to eachother i'd say youd probably have a good realationship considering that you both say you're shy and slightly awkward. If you're friends then it wouldnt matter how experienced you are with guys, and it doesnt matter what other people think. its just important that you're happy.
otherwise, yes you should and can still be friends even though you are attracted to eachother.
considering im in a similar situation you can message me or ask me anything else regarding this and id be happy to help if i can.
I hope this helped. (:
