some people argue that if two people are close friends, and they argue that they are just friends it's not true. so is it true that there is always atleast a little bit of 'something more' btween close friends of the opposite sex?
any opinions welcome!

It can happen. People have to know how to respect the boundary. Weak people fall into lust confusing like & love. So if you are strong willed with strong morals and not easily tempted by or overcome by your feelings, I think opposite sex friendships can be successful.

There has never been a little something more between me and my male friends. I have always been a tomboy to some extent and I like the laid back attitude of most guys. I do have many friends that are women but I also grew up with a lot of guys. I also love having guy friends because they are fun to joke around with and if I am having trouble putting myself into my husband's shoes during a disagreement I can always bend their ear and get the male perspective on things. I view my male friends as my brothers and there would never be anything remotely sexual between us.

I have a very good friend "Jim" that I have known for almost 10 years. While I was dating my now husband (who lived out of town) Jim and I would go to the movies, out to dinner, swimming, shopping etc. There has never been anything but friendship between us, not ever "something more" My husband jokingly calls him my boyfriend. So yes, opposite sex friends can be JUST friends.

I think there's always a little thought in the back of a person's mind about becoming something more than just friends. He or she may say, "I have 7 guy/girl friends!...And im ONLY their friend." True, but they cannot deny there will always be some kind of flurting, and will have that "mystery" between them, whether its 1 or 10 friends of the oposite sex.
What "mystery"? The "I wonder how it would be if we were more than friends?"
UNLESS you clear things up when you start seeing the "flurting" between you too. WHy not say it? "I ONLY want to be friends."

i dunno really but based on experiences,i steer clear of the opposite sex cos if they're straight they're usually dumb..lol.. there's this thing about men that us boyish types jsut needs more shags therefore i'd rather be with bent guys&girls..there's this thing about straight gurls that us boyish types are plain lesbians so i go "ehem" before i decide to run away..lol.. anyway.. i think for the single ones,it's inevitable to get horny at the sight of the opposite (some prefer same so what point is the same).. i thnk thre REALLY is always something hidden underneath,anywhere with anywhom.. no matter if he/she was a past, a present or a future.. in my case,it's a question of how i control myslef & the situation.. gawd knows i drool over certain people i see on weekly basis yet the poor bloke don't know he's my eye candy..lol

I know what you're talking about! I have the same problem. The problem with that is that the others speak too much and they don't mind their own business. They live in such an old-fashioned world, that when they see you getting close to a person of the opposite sex, they automatically label you as being in love with that person! I know, it's so sick...!

It may start sweet and innocent but eventually there will be some kind of attraction. Whether you are with someone or not, it might get to the point of "oh they listen and care about how I feel" and then that is where they get wrapped up. I do think that it starts innocent and yes there are some Just friends but not usually. Just my opinion and experience. GOOD LUCK

I've had guy friends that are JUST friends but it was because I was not attracted to them at all! I couldn't possibly have a friend that I thought was attractive and intelligent. It just wouldn't work. I've ended up dating them, every single time. Men and women are just naturally drawn to each other sexually, it's just the way the world works. Good thing too, or none of us would be here.

I think problems could arise in opposite sex friendship,when a new girl/boyfriend or partner comes on the scene. I think the closeness could be seen as a threat.

I believe that it is possible to for the opposite sex to just be friends
I have been best friends with someone of the opposite sex for the last16 years.Neither one of use have thought of one another as any thing more then just great friends.
