QFTI think in every male/female friendship there comes a time when the parties think "will this develop into a romantic/sexual relationship?"
If both have answered that for themselves - and to the other person - as a clear NO, they can proceed to have a purely platonic friendship. But that bridge must be crossed ............
Ive got a female friend that i have a pretty good friendship with, when the thoughts came up, we discussed it and at the time neither wanted anything more. Being good friends is alot better than nothing
