I have a guy friend, and I really like him and think he's awsome. But we will never make it to that next level. We live in different worlds and both have spouses.

Stay Strong Grasshopper, and never say "never!" Nobody can see what lies ahead for tomorrow, but its important to try to prepare and set yourself up for success. I'm sure both man or women are glad to have friends either online and/or in person, but its hard maintaing them and staying close, so it only seems fair to say that the conversations, and content must remain exciting and spontaneous. :)

Yes, I as a heterosexual straight man, believe that this is possible because I have experienced it. I have several friends that are girls. We are nothing more than friends. Two of them are happily married and I wish nothing but the best for them. I know what you mean by "living in different worlds." If I had a "more than friends" relationship with any of them, chances are very high that we would not last and be miserable while we were together. However, these friendgirls are always available when I am in need of a friend (providing advice, a "female perspective", a caring/understanding ear, someone to help me in through the rough patches, etc.) That said, it is a risky proposition because once I ended up crazily infatuated with one of them, and she could only ever think of me as a friend (I still like her, and she's still a friend, only out of circumstance like thousands of miles apart).

I must add that I am way different from most of guy friends on this matter. Almost all of them wouldn't like such an arrangement, some have never even attempted this. It is not for the faint of heart.

P.S. There is always going to be some sexual tension whenever a guy and a girl talk. If this does not exist, then the "just friends" part doesn't usu. last long either. As in the relationship just fizzles instead of going somewhere or staying the same.

P.P.S. I am single, and I still wouldn't go out with my single friendgirls. Not because they aren't pretty, witty, attractive, just that it wouldn't work cuz of how different we are.

I have many friends that are female and very attractive. I feel the same way as you do. I could never get together with them because of marital situations, they're not someone I would get along with if we were together. They're great people to hang out with and party. Thinking about it, maybe one or two I would have a one night stand. You know, just because, and if we were 2 consensual adults.

I think it is ok for married guys to have female friends. They just have to control themselves when it comes to thinking about the next step. It is better to stay friends than to become romantic once and screw everything up, lose the friendship, start rumors, etc. It is great to have women friends.........just control the urges.

No matter what a man says, it has crossed his mind. I guarantee it. The difference is some guys act on that and some would never cross that line.
