I have several female friends and I am married..there is nothing wrong with being friends with the opposite sex,in fact it helps you to get their views on things..specially relationships..ignore the people that make the gay remarks they are shallow..just remember you can never have enough friends..and I am sure she is more of a friend than the ones calling you names

Stay Strong Grasshopper, and never say "never!"  Nobody can see what lies ahead for tomorrow, but its important to try to prepare and set yourself up for success.  I'm sure both man or women are glad to have friends either online and/or in person, but its hard maintaing them and staying close, so it only seems fair to say that the conversations, and content must remain exciting and spontaneous.  :)

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.

Wow that's hard. I'm not sure I've ever met two men that are exactly alike just as I'm sure that there are no two women that are exactly alike. (except for us of course *cough*.....but we aren't women......we just look like women.....right? ) So having said that.......what one thing would I most like to teach them? hmmmmmm. \n\nYou know.....I think it is fun to teach each other the things we like to do, so that we can do everything together. I have a friend I would love to cook with. He seems to have amazing recipes that he has pretty much experimented with and now they remain all in his head. He could teach me how to cook some of his specialties. Then I could take him on the water and teach him to paddle. I love kayaking and think finding someone willing to learn something that I have a passion for would be very cool. Then he could teach me about something he's read about. While I then teach him something about writing. And so it would go...on and on. I think both genders have a great deal they could share with one another, and therefore, it wouldn't feel like teaching at all. :)

Absolutely! Here's the simplest answer : Men and women can be friends without any kind of sexual tension if neither is physically attracted to the other. Make sense? I mean, there's going to be sexual tension if one (or both) is attracted to the other.\n\nAt worst, it's being an acquantaince. At best, Platonic love.

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.

Yes, my best friend since highshool (I graduated in 1971) is a guy.  We did date a couple of times but nothing ever came of it.  We valued our friendship too much to let romance get in the way.  We stil meet for lunch or coffee whenever he is working (owns his own construction company) near where I work.  I'm even God mother to his youngest daughter.  Yeah he's married too.

That my friend is the question that men have been trying to answer since the beginning of time. There is no one answer. In my experence, I have learned to be considerate, thoughtful, funny, and to show respect. I would imagine it is the same traits that you would and should expect from her. Oh ! and a little advice to help you through life. "The Woman ALWAYS Picks".

Yes it is important to have women friends because how can you discuss women things to a guy?  What I mean is women things like what guy does a certain girl think is sexy or menstrual cramps. Men doesn't want to hear these discussions.

This is absolutely wrong. He for one should respect his wife and her feelings, so he should either find a nice way to tell her of his friendship with other ladies and introduce them to his wife and try to find a way to convince her to accept him having female friends or just love her and respect her wishes and not have friends she does not approve of.

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.*

Extremely dangerous situation you put yourself in.  I became friends with a man who was training my child.  I thought it was perfectly harmless and was I so wrong.  I can remember to the day when that harmless situation turned into disaster.  I fell in love with this man and almost wrecked my marriage on a person who really wasn't who he said he was.  I really believe that you should not get involved in any "friendship" with the opposite sex because it is not worth it.  Find yourself a friend of the same sex and prevent yourself from a lot of problems.

i think a female buddy is just a friend someone to talk to  some people are lonely bored etc. so a buddy of the opposite sex is nice to chat with sometimes .  i like to know what men ar thinking and men like to know what women are thinking so its nice to have a friend  to do that with .  so again  i think a female buddy is just a friend.

It depends on the woman and man. Some people use "friendship" as a way of becoming close to someone who they secretly harbour feelings for. In a case like that, then chances are, there's going to be a lot of hurt, if the feelings are not reciprocated. But if we are talking about two people who have absolutely no romantic feelings towards each other, then yes, they can be friends, and be closer than even brothers-and-sisters.
