do you think a guy and a girl can REALLY be friends?

Sure. My best friend in high school was a girl, and we were just close friends(we never dated or anything.) It's possible to care about someone of the opposite sex and not be physically or romantically attracted to them.

of course! guy friends are the best to have because they aren't afraid to act crazy in public when girls tend to care more about what people think. Guy friends are also great for advice even though i tend to give my guy friends mroe advice than i ask from them. By having guy friends you also become more comfortable with the opposite sex and therefor are more likely to be comfortable in a relationship with a guy you like. \n\n<33

Yes. I have a male best friend. He is really cool. I have also got several other friends that are male. We are so close that we probably could never date, but even if we could i am not single. It is cool to have a guy best friend. They can give you a point of view sometimes that is way better than a female can. Even though females are good friends too, it is always good to have a male friend on the side to help you when she can't help out with your problems.

Yeah, he's worth being friends with. Put yourself in his shoes - who would you pay more attention to, her or him? I'm assuming you're a guy here.

no. because with guys and girls being friends the sex part usually gets in the way....think about it.... if i have a guy friend for a long enough time an attraction will usually come between us. but with a gay guy you know that will never happen.

friendship is all about trust...can you still trust her?

As a guy, I think it's great.  I'm looking for this type of friend myself but girls like you are hard to find!

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.

I have a really really best guy friend ( woman here), been friends for 5 yrs now. He has been w/ me thru everything. I am married now but b4 now, he wanted to be more than friends. Told him I didn't see it that way, it would ruin our friendship I thought. That if he didn't see it same way, we coulndt even be friends no more. Still friends today!..Some things are better left alone!

Certainly. I've been in that situation several times and it didn't screw up the friendship and no one got hurt. Yes, you have to have well respected boundaries and have to be able to communicate honestly to avoid misunderstanding. If both of you can do that, then it can work out wonderfully.

Being friends w/ someone you really cared about is very hard for guys , I dunno about females. Im talking loved, im not talking a one night stand fling... If these guys are people that were really special at one time , you just have to understand where they are coming from and they need to respect you as well w/ your choices.. Now if they were flings.. lol then you have a real problem

Yes...you just have to make sure you two are on the same page or it will just make your "friendship" weird from then on.

yes it is but only if you or that person can have a friendship based purely on a platonic level. In other words you both have to either be over your romantic feelings for each other or you both have to be able to deal with them without them ever getting in the way of your friendship. Truthfully though some people cannot be just friends after the fact because they are all or nothing people...all the way together or not...there is no middle ground with people like this...and if you r your ex is like this friendship will never work because things like jealousy will interfere.

Absolutely!  Don't risk it if you have a good friendship.  The friendship ending will hurt more than the relationship.

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.
