No doubt it is.

Sure. It may not be easy. At various points I have had platonic friendships with a dozen or more women including some that followed more intense emotional and physical relationships. The usual reason they worked was respect for the person and the other relationships they had, known or unknown, which she may bring up to keep the relationship platonic. Several women have remained (in some cases distant) friends after they married.
I also ruined one valuable friendship I would have liked to keep when I kissed her and she didn't want to go that way and didn't feel we could continue to see each other because of the way she felt and how other recent relationships had soured.

Yes. Many times mental friendship is much more joyful than any physical one It has got a feature of permanency.There is little selfishness to be found in platonic friendship .However, a certain mental attitude is necessary to appreciate the platonic approach which does not happen to be common.

l think it is completely possible!
l know this from personal experience!
l have got many friends that are guys, l actually find l get on better with guys than females alot of the time!
many females l know have alot of guy friends!
l have met a few guys who cannot believe that you can just be friends with a girl, l dont know why this is? maybe it is the way you are brought up or maybe it is just a way of thinking?
Think right back to early school days, the boys and girls play quite happily together and then suddenly at around 5 years old everything changes and girls dont like boys and boys dont like girls - then it all changes again when you are a teenager and you look at guys as potential boyfriends and l think guys look at the girls in a different way if you know what l mean!
Then you get older and you get to know yourself and well you make friends and it really doesnt matter whether your friend is a male or a female!
l have even been friends with my ex's, admittidly this does not always work out but it can be done!

unquestionably! this concept that a without delay boy and a without delay lady won't be able to be merely acquaintances without one falling for the different in some unspecified time sooner or later is ridiculous! I actually have a lot of platonic "merely acquaintances" relationships with boys that i've got universal for years and not something romantic or in any different case has ever come from them.

Not really.
An unconsummated relationship, where sex remains an open possibility (tantric), is much more revealing if you could find a woman (or she a man) who would attempt to handle it. There have been some by letter exchanges across history.
I would have to agree with one other answer that opposite sex platonic is essentially "gay in denial." Same sex friendships should not be a problem ever; unless one or both are in the closet.

100% possible. Sometimes it's the best relationship to have. No expectations, just hanging out and having fun.
If it's platonic now, don't screw it up and try to make it something more.

Yes, it is possible, as long as everyone is on the same page. Also, when one or the other gets a significant other, boundaries must be set to maintain a friendship and to keep from falling into jealousy.

No, because eventually interest will increase in someone, if not immediately then eventually. The reason why most of the time women think that it is possible is because they are not the ones with the increased interest, the guy is, however they wouldn't know that or else the friendship would be over. Attraction can very often be unanticipated like that.

Jack O is 100% correct. Let me be clear on this. Ladies, you have never been friends with any man who did not at some point think about having sex with you. Period. As a matter of fact, the majority of men you've met at all have thought about it. Sorry to burst your bubbles, but the sooner you figure this out, the less BS gets sprayed around.

No someone always has feelings at some point .but think about this friendship is a great starter for an amazing relationship but you also run the risk of the other perosn not feeling the way you do.
