Is it possible to be just friends with a guy if you are a good looking girl. I add the fact of being good looking because I have asked people and they say it cannot happen if the girl is attractive.

Girls and boys can be friends, as long as both are honest in the relationship. Be upfront and let it be known that all you want is friendship, and he should be upfront about what he wants out of the relationship as well.
And remember, no matter how great the outside package is, you aren't pretty (and he's not good looking) if the personality isn't there as well.

This is mostly dependent on the guy. If he is of good character, then he will know that there are boundaries that cannot and should not be crossed.
Also, to help ease the strain on the guy for having to remain faithful to the "rules" don't spend more time with him than you do with your significant other. Do not pour all your problems on him--talk about the good times and rarely about the bad. If you tell him about the bad things in your relationship then he might feel that he should protect you somehow. It'll bring out an old instinct that you don't want to deal with.
The closer he is to an acquaintance the better. If you draw him too deep into your life then he might drift away or develop a strong affection towards you--which could lead to love.
I'd say that a guy can be friends with girls, but the relationship should never go too deep. For one thing, it's the privilege of a significant other to know everything about you, and there is a level that you may reach that goes beyond what a friendship is designed for.

It is possible to be friends with lots of ifs and buts. It needs great deal of self control which is difficult. You can control for some time. There could be weak moments. The reality is that if two young people attractive and good looking spend lots of time together it is nature's way that they will end up having serious relationship. It may or may not end up in marriage

Yes. If you and a guy only see each other as friends and dont act ever on any random attractionb you should be fine. I for instance only have guy friends and I am a girl. I never got along with girls and when I was little my neighborhood was all boys so I grew up with them. I find having different sexes, personaloities, and ethnic group of friends can be very interesting and invigoratingv to have!

Honestly it's going to be hard to be friends with a guy when your really attractive because they seem to always want to be MORE then just friends...It is definately possible but just make sure they're the right guys.

That's BS. I am good looking and my best friend was a guy I grew up with from 5th grade. We were friends for over 35 years. Sometimes my boyfriends didn't appreciate the friendship until they got to know him and understand us. He died last May to cancer at 48. I miss him terribly.

You can be. One of my best friends in life is a woman who is so attractive that my wife was extremely jealous when we were first dating. She couldn't believe someone so attractive was "just a friend." But after getting to know her, she realized that we were just really good friends. Her being very attractive (or myself being attractive) had absolutely no bearing on our ability to be friends.

Yes it is possible. It just depends on the guy. If he's a pig and just full of hormones then he's probobly only interested in sex anyway, and what girl would want a friend like that anyway? You just need to be choosey on who your friends are, thats all.

If he is gay maybe....sorry, but any guy who says he wants to just be friends is setting you up hoping to hook up when you least expect it, or he is gay and doesn't care about the attraction. Guys are visual creatures and if you're atractive, then he is looking for ways to be around you so he can "see" you. Just keep that in mind....
