There is a risk on both sides...as human nature is meant to attract the opposite sex.
It is up to both and each individual to keep their pants on and heads straight.

In my experience its not impossible for a man and women to be friends but usually one or the other has more than "friendly" feelings. I have a very good male friend that I can talk to about anything but before we got to this point we tried a physical relationship. It didn't work out and we stopped talking for a while but both of us realized that we were truly just good friends.

Yes. But if they are both really attracted to each other then probably not. There usually has to be a level of... unattraction I think. Kind of like the opposite in romantic relationships. I have some girl friends, guy friends, whatever. I find that just as long as guys aren't too pervy they're good friends. Girls are often backstabbing, malignantly competitive, and cruel.

NO WAY!! Seriously men and women will lie, and say yes of course we can, but it is so not true!
One person in the friendship has hidden feelings and perhaps will never act on those feelings, but it means it is not a true friendship.
This leads to a soiled friendship, because when one of them is is a happy relationship, and the other is single, I really believe "your friend" cannot give you advice, because maybe they are jealous and think you should be with them...... Trust me men and women are not programmmed to be friends!!!!

Sometimes. It depends on if one finds the other attractive in a sexual way. Then it becomes difficult, at least for one of them. I had a good friend who other women found very handsome and desirable, yet I found him to be just average and nice, so we stayed friends for a long time, until he got drunk one night and called me and said some things that made me feel really uncomfortable (I was married and he and his girlfriend had just broken up). After that, it was hard to just hang out as before. Now he is married and his wife is uncomfortable with us seeing or talking to each other.

My answer for that question is yes, however I have known friends to also become lovers and sometimes
marry. If you want to just be friends, keep the relationship
at work and don't make a regular habit of doing things
together outside of work. Keep it simple and it's always better to have a girlfriend or boyfriend whichever apply,
and all of yall be friends.

Yes.
Despite the stereotypes of "sexual tension" between friends of opposite genders, or the supposition one of the two would have to be homosexual, I think the more likely reason of 'failure' between friends of opposite gender is "significant others" eradicating sexual competition. Girls have boyfriends that get jealous of men hanging around "his girl". Men get girlfriends that essentially do the female version of pissing on trees to mark territory.
I'm not saying that there isn't an extra dimension of "issues" when it comes to men and women being friends. Just that the failure is a result of factors outside the friendship.

I think there is always a possibility of just being friends. But there is also a greater possibility of one of the people wanting more. Especially if you spend most of your time with each other or talking to each other.

I certainly believe that a man and woman can be great friends. It does not always have to go to an intimate level of thinking.
