Opinions PLEASE!!! Just Friends?
| Wed, 08-03-2005 - 1:47am |
Can a male and female really be "JUST FRIENDS"?
When they hang out together more often than not. (And yes - just the two of them. Maybe with others too but more often just the two of them.) Watch movies together, on the same couch! haha;) Go out to eat together, study together, etc.
I do think that people of the opposite sex can be just friends. But I'm having a hard time believing that they're Just friends when they hang out together that much.
I would really like to hear advise and just opinions from people.
Thanks!:)

I can speak only for myself.....
I've NEVER had a just friends relationship with the opposite sex. There has always been more to it.
Well, I happen to have a male as my best friend of over 30 years, so yes they can be just friends, just like your girl friends, we share all our secrets and desires but, we also understand where we stand, sure I hug him and say I love you but, on that friendship level.
He is the other half of me and I respect him, and he has a wife and children as well, and I would never ever do anything to change that part of his life. I help him grow and understand the womens side of things and he for me the mens. It has worked out well for both of us he gets what he needs from me and I from him and it has nothing to do with sex at all, but we also talk about that too.
I know it's sometimes hard for other people to understand but, if you understand that it is a true friendship then that is all it will be, the fact that I do love him is on a different level than with a boyfriend, or even with my husband when I was married. I feel bad for people when they read more into it than there is, but if you have ever had that bond with someone then you can appreciate where I am coming from. Lovers come and go true loyal friendship is everlasting, and a special gift only few will ever find.
Sure. I have several close guy friends I do things with regularly. But not all the time, that's for sure.
Do either of these people have SOs? If not, they may just be hanging out together that much because they don't have other obligations, and they enjoy each other's company. It doesn't *necessarily* mean something's going on between them.
