Just Friends
"All it takes is Time"
Boy meets girl, girl says “I'm only interested in being friend,” boy says “cool, no problems, I’m not looking for a relationship either,” gets phone number and "BAM" a new potential sex partner, right? Well, not always.
Most men have had that conversation or a similar conversation with a woman that they have just met. From a man’s perspective that conversation is a spark in a direction that he knows or rather thinks he may be able to score big on. All he needs is a phone number (if she gave it to him correctly). The potential of him hooking up with that woman is extremely great and more likely favorable in his corner as a new sex partner or the beginning of what may develop into a non-platonic relationship. Any thoughts of the relationship growing as a friends only basis has never entered his mind, especially if the lady is FINE. If by chance the relationship did grow into a “friends only” basis is a result of his failure not his desire. Now what exactly would he fail at? He would fail at not being able to seduce this woman the way he would have liked too. The cause would be that somewhere along the lines of communication or in his acts, something transpired that he didn’t do or answer correctly. But in the many days, weeks, months and what sometimes can be years of trying, this poor fellow would never give up and likely will never give up the hopes that one day this woman will break down and want to sleep with him. He believes (like most men do) that eventually one day when this woman is lonely or is in need of some type of sympathy, counselor, or shoulder to cry on that it could led to a tunnel of ecstasy. He has heard of it being done before and it is sure to happen to him one day (if it hasn’t already happened before). All it takes is Time.

There is a truth that feelings will always come between men and women, but then that doesn't mean that it will haappen to the same sex as well so yes you can and can not be friends at the same time...but i do have alot of guy friends even my ex's and if u just need a friend to talk to well im a good listener.

Yes men and women can be "just friends" (by not acting on impulses/urges) but true friendship where neither wants something more than a friend is rare.
I've had lots friendships with guys but there is often something lurking just below the surface that never gets talked about.

Yeah, I've had plenty of really good male friends (actually more than girls)in my life without ever going into a relationship or developing feelings for each other. Ofcourse I've also had male friends that had gotten their emotions mixed up and end up having feelings 4 me, or vice versa. It all depends, but it's definetly possible to be 'just friends', I have many examples that prove me right. Your friend? nAH, I dont do stupid internet cyberbulls.hit games, I rather just have real people as friends, not a computer screen.

Yes they can just be friends but it doesn't mean that you will never have a thought of making love. The latest study shows that men think about sex every 56 seconds.

I think it is possible yes, but only if the two people are not attracted to one another. if the two are attracted to one another that would make it a very difficult situation to maintain just a friendship and not take the relationship a step further. Just my opinion. I have many great male friends, however, I am not physically attracted to them. That i believe is why it works. God bless

I don't know about you, but i have lot of men friends , - Just friends , Only for friendship. I have friends from age of 6 to 70. They all are my friend, and my husband knew every one and he also became their friend because of me.
There are lot of people out their in the world respect friendship , and understanding between friendship & relationship. Not every man and woman will have sex with each other because they are opposit sexs. Still there are lot of men and women searching for good friends for only shareing and careing , Not for sex.

No, I don't think so. It's just not natural to be 'just friends'. A woman can tell in the first 10 seconds if you're do-able or not. If you're not, she probably won't waste her time trying to be your friend. Just an incite into the female brain.
