Yes...a woman can be a friend with a man and eat a meal with him and still have feelings for someone else.\n\nBut from what you wrote, it sounds like you're at a certain point and she's not there yet. \n\nIf she's not ready to commit, then she's not.\nShe'll get there when its time for her, if its time for her.\nBut its not something that you can make happen. \nEmotions are either there or they are not.

Men & women can be friends. Just be careful not to let it go any further than that. Eg. I am friends with my male colleagues at work, but I make sure I get to know their wifes or GFs as well so they do not get the wrong ideas - aka they need to know I am not a threat. And I never put out wrong signals with colleagues - some may hint at something more but I always made it clear where I stand. If I am not interested, I am not interested period - particularly in married or men who are already with someone else.\nAs to why it does happen? Well, men tend to think of sex most times (read relationship books - it is a primal thing with them). They find opportunities for it to happen and at times end up jeopardising real friendships cos of it. If a guy friend pushes it, I let the friendship go. Maybe that's why folks say plutonic friendships are not workable. But I have good male friends who are absolutely faithful to their spouses so I am glad to know that such men, however rare, still exist. I for one would want my man to be exactly that - faithful to me and only me and I would be the same for him too.

i do not belive in frendships after knowing the person underneah his or her clothes. there is no friendship possible if there is attraction from one side.friendships between a man and a woman are extra rare. do not have sex with the guy because you feel bad about him being in Iraq. after surviving such hard life experiance he will be changed and use all his charm to get you where he wants. find out if he still has feelings for you. if he is the only one he has to accept your decision just to be friends. i have met an american solider from North Carolina who had also been to Iraq. i do not know a lot of man who have charm like his. he said talking to me is like being in heaven.

First off, I don't want to argue with any one on this subject. I am just stating a long researched out project that has been completed recently. Man and women where not designed to attract one another for simple friendships. Usually,  if someone says they have the opposite sex as a friend, then one of several things has already occurred. They have either already crossed the sex line and decided that they were not meant to be together. Another reason being, one or both is gay, or the man and woman are living  clear across the country and never see one another. Or\nmaybe the man is castrated.  OK, .... I will say, there are those 'few'  exceptions, but not enough for me to allow my husband to be friends with another woman, and he says the same. Examples are always good, so how about, although fictional, but still an example, set com, "Sinfield"...Elaine and Jerry or The "Drew Carey" show. Regardless its just human nature for boys and girls, ending up facing sexual tension between the two.

why not? It's pretty important that the girlfriend be able to meet the other females so she knows who he is dealing with when it comes to him hanging out with that individual.  But if the girlfriend can approve of the female, then hell yea.. it's ok to have friends.

If you can't be friends with him without "wanting" him you need to back away and respect the woman who is now his wife.  He chose her not you and the bond that they have now is sacred.   \n\nYou will find someone else to love you and treat you right but first you need to get over what you can't have and learn to love yourself.

Sure they can.  They can be the greatest of friends and stay totally platonic.  I think this is a decision that they have to make together and put their friendship first.

Sometimes females have men for best friends this could be in your case or she would be done said something and not be planning her life with another man. So be her friend unless she comes to you. Because you may mess up a good friendship between you two.*

It's a very difficult situation for both parties.It's certainly a one way story.When you love someone you just can't be 'just friends'.You can't stop your heart from asking for a reciprocation of its all feelings,which never comes from other side.Because they are just incapable of giving this to you.And it's only hurtful,unless you are a monk!Stop hurting yourself anymore,keep a distance.Time is a good healer.

if she really wants to be just friends and u can get over the fact that that is all it's going to be then don't just throw her to the curb.  Friends don't do that.\n\nFigure out what will it be like if you 2 are friends and how it will affect you.  Communication is the key here.

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.

I realy do think that Men and Woman can be close even Very close friends, with out there being sex.\n\nI have many Female friends, and the thought has nether entered my mind that there could (nor would want) there to be anythink more.\n\nIt is a VERY sad world we live in if Men and Woman were only close for sex! \n\nIt mattres not about being gay or even ugly, All poeple can be friends man and woman, woman and woman, man and man, what dose it matter.\n\nYour friend and many others out there are just very closed minded, and are just going along with what we are told and not what thay them self think.

You should be able to be friends. If both of your spouses really don't mind go for it. Just be sure that it doesn't go to far.
