It really depends on whether you have any feelings for the girl because if not then there's nothing for you to act on and take that relationship to another level.  As soon as one person has some feelings for the other in a friendship then it ceased to be just that.  The bottomline is that the only way women and men can remain friends is if they both find each other somewhat unattractive.

A friend to a guy is different from a friend with a girl...Usually guys have lots of girlfriends because the idea creeps in of "keeping your options open"...men seldom have girl friends (2 words) and it not go through the man's mind at some point that his friend has been considered for something more.....one major exception is if the girls he talks to are girls he knew for a long time...through school, church etc....then it feels like brother and sister...but if he has just recently met these girls then in all likelihood he is keeping his options open...

yup, i'm in the same position except i'm the girl and my guy friend is just like you. \n\nso...it's not reciprocated? well, i suggest you get out and meet other girls. that's what i want my guy friend to do but he seems to be into me much more. and i know it's not good for him-i love him as a friend, only. \n\nit sounds harsh, but you might have to spend some tim,e away from her...get out into the dating scene. clubs bars etc if you're into that kind of thing. if she has any heart she will encourage you to do the same.

guys can be friends with women. But just what kind of attention is he paying you? If he is overly affectionate that could be trouble. You don't want a man who would cheat on his gf, he would just cheat on you later.

well friendships between a guy n a girl mostly end up in a relationship. one way or the other. you wanna know if he likes you then ask him. n if you want to ask him out then do it. it wouldn't affect your friendship.

Yes, a friendship can be characterized as platonic if there is no sex involved. You can also have a friendship with sex (but things may get complicated). Friendships with one friend might be going places, talking and with another friend there may be more intimacy yet you date others (not platonic)

NO.  Guys dont want to be friends right way with someone that they shared a lot with.

honestly it is a nice way to rejection . the girl really wants to keep the friendship only friends but concern if she tells you that she isn't into you on a "date" level or bf that she will lose that friendship. truthfully if she was into you as more than friendly there would be no hesitation on a date

yes, it is possible. you've just got to watch out on which signals u might be sending these guys. you also need to make it very clear up front that u only want to be JUST friends and nothing more. hope this helps.

By "girl friends" I assume you mean friendship & not dating. That being said, I ask you why they shouldn't? Some of my best friends are of the opposite sex. If those friendships are open enough, it can be invaluable to get answers from a woman concerning questions about what a woman really meant by this or how she might feel about that.\n\nThere's no reason for people to only be friends with other people of their own gender.

you know what, I would like to know the same exact thing! I'm becoming closer to a guy who just wants to be friends by just being a "friend" to him. eventually, boys will fall in love with u, if you are real w/ them as friends.

girl, thats fine to have guys as just friends! I have tons of guy friends that are JUST friends! the relationship that I am in actually came out of being friends with him since Jr. High but I have lots of guy friends!  They are so much easier to get along with and just chill..I love it!! so dont worry about it! thats what my parents thought aslo but then they learned that they were just friends. so keep being freinds with the guys!! and dont let what your parents think get into your head about it!!

Yes they can. If they can't, they're not the kind of guys you want as friends anyway.
