Do you think there can exist a true friendship between a guy and a girl? If you say "yes" and have a friend of opposite sex, can you honestly say you NEVER felt sexually attracted to him / her at one point or another? What do you all think??

Yes. Most of my friends are male. I have 3 brothers, so I'm a bit more used to dealing with guys.
Yes, I've never had feelings for most of the guys. I mean, snot rockets and fart jokes aren't really the key to forging a romantic relationship....

My girlfriend and I broke up. Things were very intimate between us. We had a great sex life and all around a great life together. We broke due to "extenuating circumstances" but we are still very close friends. The friendship has been working as though we never broke up, except the sex thing. We are still very close to each other and spend a lot of time together. There is hope for our future, but for now, the friendship is the best that either of us can do.
So, yes, there can be a friendship, a TRUE friendship between a guy and a girl. Also, there can be a TRUE friendship between a guy and a girl without the feelings of sexual attraction. I have several female friends with whom I would NEVER be able to have sex. There are lines when it comes to these sorts of things. When you draw the line with a specific person, that line tends to never move. If you don't draw a ling with another person and you venture into the unknown territory of Love, then you find yourself doing things that you would never do with anyone else. But a friendship between the opposing sexes is DEFINITELY possible WITHOUT sex.
Best of luck

Yes...I believe that true friendship can exist between a guy and a girl. I do have a guy friend and I can't say that we have never been sexually attracted to each other. I think that you share such a special relationship that it is hard not to be sexually attracted at one point. I think that friends of the opposite sex end up being the best of lovers! Good Luck!

Yes. Our past is: we met after bad relationships, dated and had sex though. Realized we were not really in love or very compatible. We didnt talk for about a year and now we have been like best friends for 15 years. He is now getting married and I couldnt be happier for him, I also love his new girl. But I do think a friendship is possible w/o the sexual attraction, we really dont want to have sex w/ every guy we meet.

It happens all the time. I've been sexually attracted to a many of female friends. But for the sake of the friendship, you dont cross the line. People who you consider friends of the opposite sex usually have all the qualities of a partner that you look for. And i have a lot of females friends that i consider like family or a little sister, so in those instances, the thought never crosses my mind

I think that most friendships between a guy and a girl do wind up becoming an attraction on one or both ends. When I was in high school, my best friend was a guy and after about two years of us being friends, I started to become attracted to him. Of course, I kept my feelings to myself because I didn't want to lose him as a friend. If you are involved in this kind of situation, you can always jokingly ask your friend how they would feel if you guys were more than friends?

I have had several male friends who I felt no sexual attraction to whatsoever. It's possible, but I think you'll probably feel an attraction towards an opposite sex friend more often than not. When you spend a lot of time with someone you start to form a bond, and sometimes you start to notice deeper feelings for them. That will happen a lot, but it is possible for that to not occur from time to time.

Whats wrong with feeling sexually attracted to a friend? Just because you feel it doesn't mean that you have to act on it. A true friendship doesn't mean that you are both made of ice.

Absolutely, I have a TON of guy friends and have never been attracted to almost any of them, and some of them are good looking, I guess I know how to be a true friend and a friend only-there are some boundaries you shouldn't overstep in friendship relationships, you need to be more in control of your emotions it sounds like.

Honestly, as a girl, I'd say so. I have a ton of guy friends I've never thought of in "that way".
But from experience, I'd say most of my guy friends would have sex with me anyway. I've had a couple guys I thought were friends end up telling me they had feelings for me. That always kind of pisses me off b/c I feel like they're only my friend after they realize they're never getting laid.
