I'm afraid you have stolen my thunder. I had a "platonic" friends question in the lurch, but I shall answer none the less. Yes, it truly is possible to be just friends. It is very difficult at times, don't get me wrong. But a certain respect for each others place in life must be honored to do so. I am learning day by day how to do just that.

I never used to think so, but I have come to learn that I was wrong. Maybe my situation is different because there are some barriers to the friendship I have in mind, but I certainly believe now that it's possible for men and women to just be friends, and I love what I have with my best friend :)

I think it is very possible as long as thats the way both parties invovled want to keep it. I have been friends with a man and it turned into more and I have dated a man first and became his friend after the relationship did not work out.I have also just had male friends that turned into just friends. I think the reason its seems to turn into something more because it is a great way to start a relationship with someone and there is an interest for one another

My best friend (besides my husband) is a male. But he's really odd. He's an artist (living on his art) and very Catholic. We are like brother and sister. We have never "liked" eachother besides as friends. We live a whole Country apart, so it's not like we see eachother a lot. We write and send gifts. When he visits, he stays with me and my husband. My husband likes him and has no qualms about the whole thing. I dropped all my other male friends when I got married because I knew those friendships could get in the way.
sorry to write a whole freaking essay :)

I think men and women can never be just friends, and not have at least a bit of attractiong to one another because one of them always finds the other somewhat attractive, unless it's a straight woman and a gay man, or both of them are gay.

Too much watching when Harry met Sally will cause harm. YES women and men can be friends without having to be intimate. Even straight women(in case someone should poke a hole in my theory) and straight men can be friends without hanky panky.

As long as both parties agree to just be friends, yes.
My husband has friends of both genders, a few of which he dated. Am I worried? No.
Basically, friendship can turn into a romantic relationship easily. They both have to just keep each other in check though if that's not exactly a good thing.

It is true that it often turns into relationships. I'm an 8th grader,,, but I know that it happens often because it happened to me alot. But I still have my friends that are boys. It doesn't have to evolve into something more if you tell yourself that you don't want it to evolve.

Yes, it's possible. I can talk to men more than I can a woman.

Yes, men and women can be JUST friends. I have many male friends but only one boyfriend.
