Is it possible to have a platonic relationship with a female friend who's single or is it only a matter of time before you sleep together?!

You both have to have very, very strong incentives for keeping it platonic otherwise make sure you are never alone together especially after a stressful day or when you feel a need for comfort or support. Good luck.

No relationship stays the same forever, and that even includes marriage vows - despite what the priesthood will tell you.
The term "Platonic" technically means "ideal, greater than the mundane" - and for a long time, the term has been used exclusively to mean "sexless" because that's what has been drummed into people's heads since Victorian times.
But no relationship stays platonic forever, unless both participants are closet gay and hiding it by appearing as the perfect couple in public.
This sounds harsh, but the truth is, if a relationship evolves to the point where it becomes a sexual relationship, neither party should feel shame at that. Sex is a normal, healthy part of any relationship.

I think platonic relationships are often very dicey with one or the other usually fancying the other. I might not have had good experiences with platonic relationships I suppose because I awoke one morning to find my best platonic friend in my bed !!
I had another 'platonic' friend and he ended up asking me to marry him. I imagine its entirely possible to have platonic relationships but hasn't happened for me.

it is possible, but you both need to sit down and talk about the friendship and what it means to each person.....
one of the questions that should be asked straight out and honestly. is there a crush for the other person and trying to be friends first and then try to change it. is there a attraction there that is being denied or put on the back burner until later....??? if you are both on the same page and honestly know there is no attraction other that friendship, then you have a friend for life. [ i have two friends that are for real only friends and it is wonderful to have a buddy........

19 adult men have the comprehensive "desirous to spread his seed" ingredient, yeah..... so some distance as in no way having ideas, thats a touch not straightforward, yet in a position to ensue (i imagine youthful communities or not it truly is more desirable uncomplicated because you've time-honored that human being in view that an early age) like college, after I were given to center college and highschool, I wasn't drawn to women I knew (truly, or friends) from difficulty-free. i wager the idea is going by the guy's head, yet with maximum female friends, it truly is fantastically fickle and passes.

It's only a matter of time if there is mutual sexual attraction. It's only a matter of time if you impair each others judgment with drugs and alcohol. It seems to me like you are looking forward to " a matter of time." Leave the girl alone. Be her big brother not her weekend lover.

Yes, oh yes.. It is perfectley normal, i have female friends.
Getting to know someone for who they are is great there is more to life than sex, you just need to be honest with everyone. I must admite though i am male and i want to shag the whole of womankind, they are such lovley creatures. We should have women as pets i think *;)

it depends on your age. it can cause problems when you date and one person always feels more than the other. it doesn't have to be consummate for people to get hurt. if you can't get friends and this is the only person who can stand being around you then ok
