"A guy and a girl can just be friends, but at one point or another
they will fall for each other. Maybe just temporarily, or maybe at the wrong time, or maybe too late. maybe forever. Sure they won't say things, but that doesn't mean they don't feel them." Is that true?
And the only reason a boy and a girl become friends is because they were attracted to each other, true?

That's not true. I have plenty of female friends whom i have never been attracted to, but i have a very close platonic relationship with them. A person who only maintains a friendship with the opposite sex, purely because of attraction is a very shallow person indeed. There is always the possibility of developing an attraction but that is NOT the ONLY reason why two people of opposing genders can have a friendship.

Lots of people are stupid and lots of people use yahoo answers. The chances that stupid people use yahoo answers is quite good thus you'll recieve and see a lot of stupid answers. I too trust my husband and do not worry if he has female friends and I would expect that he feel the same way. Some people are very insecure and controlling, but most people I should not expect are this way. The most you can do is realize that the veiw that men and women cannot be friends is false and then stop worrying about it. Arguing with crazy or stupid people is like arguing with religious fanatics. It's a total waste of time. EDIT: Just because someone is willing to have sex with you, doesn't mean that they are not your friend unless you view sex as something you don't enjoy, but do for the other person as a favor. The point is trusting your spouse or your partner rather than worrying about what their friend might do.

What we see with eyes is the first impression we get. So therefore, yes, it is mutual physical that is the first step. It can last for a split second, but in most cases alot longer. Once the conversation starts, it usually takes very little time to decide even subconsciously whether this is a relationship that you want to pursue as friends or something more. Sometimes it can take longer because we have a tendency to run headlong in to relationships without really getting to know the person, allowing the physical attraction to rule over gut instinct. That usually will end up getting you hurt or hurting the other person. People need to slow down and get to know a person before jumping in the sack with them.

I've had lots of female friends, rarely been involved with any of them, do find many of them attractive, and might enter into a relationship with some of them if we both happened to be single at the same time.
But no, I would have to say overall, the only reason a boy and a girl become friends is because they were attracted to each other, is not true. It can be one of the reasons, but it's certainly not the only one.

it does seem that way most of the time...However i know extremely beautiful girls that have guy friends who aren't that good looking..It all depends on the personality of the guy/girl.....And yes if they're both attracted to each other then sooner or later they'll fall for each other. But i think those make for the best relationships. Especially if you gain one anothers respect and trust. In fact i've seen best friends turn into husband and wife. It's really ironic if you ask me :)

I believe this is true. At one time or another, the feeling of being just friends isn't enough. And what you are really looking for in a relationship has been there all along right under your nose. I am now married to my best friend & very happy.

Its not always true. I'm friends with guys I would never date or find attractive. But then there are some I would so it depends on you and the person. I became friends with them for different reasons, it was rarely because I was physically attracted to them. Some I just grew up with.

I agree. I don't think the "we're just friends" situation can stay the same forever. Besides, guys and girls are more likely to be lovers than friends. That's just the way life is, I think.

that's very true dear. Consciously or subconciously we usually choose our friends on the basis of that. almost everyone is tempted to think, "what if i go out with my friend?" of course thre is the issue that you don't want to jeorpadise your friendship given the side effects of going out assuming you break up. i can confidently say you are right.
you've got my star for that
