I 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 ............
QFT

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 :rolleyes:
 
If they are not attracted to eachother, then I suppose its possible, but the thought will always cross their minds, even if they laugh at the thought.

yep - there is the whole thread summed up in 1 sentence. :)
 
They don't have to be attracted to each other. It could be one sided and stop being platonic. As soon as for either person there's more than a just friends thought it's no longer platonic.
 
Question:

Can a Male and a female have a friendship (in the true sense of the word) without there ever being any sexual feelings from either one of the 2 parties or both ?

Yes/No

* Pls note this exludes Girlfriends and wifes. I'm talking about Friends
* And no your friends wife doesn't count

:eek:no,Been there tried that but in the end your head sings a different tune,there will come a day when that moment is just right and conditions true.You either kiss or worst happens.
A recipe for disaster is..listing in order
1-dont drink together alcohol alone at any given day
2-when you hurting do not seek comfort at night with the opposite sex when he /she lives alone
3-Do not go clubbing with said friend when you only know he /she in the club.
thats all folks..happy hunting:D
 
No - because at some stage the thought invariably crosses the guys mind
 
dablakmark8, the fact that you mention CLUBBING says one thing, you're in the age range of everyone else and thus the agreement with the topic.
 
You're saying it happens to ALL guys... NOT TRUE... NOT ALL GUYS!

So give up with the generalization buddy!

If one of your platonic girlfriends (the ones that don't exist by the way) wears a low cut top or hipster jeans that reveals a glimpse of lace are you telling us you don't look?

(The jeans comments isn't sexist because ladies wear them like that on purpose. This comment might be a bit sexist though.)
 
You're saying it happens to ALL gays... NOT TRUE... NOT ALL GAYS!

So give up with the generalization buddy!

that makes you gay, my friend..
the thought of bonking your female friends, has to happen some time or another, otherwise your bawlls are up your ass!

(or your female friends are dogs)
 
Well, obviously he didn't mean all guys, I mean there're gays for example. :D

I have gay friends and even they look at girls in ways that the girls fathers would not approve of.
