girl, thats fine to have guys as just friends! I have tons of guy friends that are JUST friends! the relationship that I am in actually came out of being friends with him since Jr. High but I have lots of guy friends!  They are so much easier to get along with and just chill..I love it!! so dont worry about it! thats what my parents thought aslo but then they learned that they were just friends. so keep being freinds with the guys!! and dont let what your parents think get into your head about it!!

were opposites. my friends are mostly guys. in your case however, you can tell if a girl likes you i guess if she showers you with more attention unlike the usual. if she seems so interested in everything you do. gut feeling..you'll know.

I'm a girl. I have a few wonderful guy friends. I wouldn't know what to do without them in my life. They are my support system. They are much more sincere than some girls I know.

Do this based on your chemistry together. From what i've experienced and heard from others:\n\n"If a girl sees a guy as just just a friend from the start, it will stay that way, but if the girl has a thing for the guy from the start it will always be there."\n\nThis could work for you in reverse gender. If thre was something there at the start, and you both felt it, then you should tell him and get things startedd ;)\n\nGood luck to you and your friend

I have one female friend that I like being with, and that is because we have a lot in common, I mean everything, from crappy childhoods and upbringings, to possessive men we have had relationships with.\n\nOther than that, I prefer to hang around guys (as friends).  They seem a lot more straight forward to me.  When I was in high school, a lot of times a girl would act like they were my friend, only to stab me in the back the second I turned the other way.  Some friends I had, even the ones I had friendships with for 10+ years were back stabbers.  Some of them even stole my boyfriends right out from under me.\n\nGuys, on the other hand, are less likely to steal boyfriends (lol), and are much more straight up.  If they don't like you, they are going to tell you to your face, hey F off, I don't like you.  They are not going to be your friend to your face and bad mouth you while you are not around.  If you happen to not be around when they do talk about you, they say mostly positive things, they are not so catty.\n\nThat, and guys are more laid back and easier to talk to.  All girls want to talk about is their 50th pair of brand new shoes they bought and I hate shoes, they take up too much space.

of course! guy friends are the best to have because they aren't afraid to act crazy in public when girls tend to care more about what people think. Guy friends are also great for advice even though i tend to give my guy friends mroe advice than i ask from them. By having guy friends you also become more comfortable with the opposite sex and therefor are more likely to be comfortable in a relationship with a guy you like. \n\n<33

Yes, as long no physical attraction develops.  Once the girl or the guy wants to date the other person, it becomes difficult to maintain the friendship.  The person knows he/she has feelings for him/her, so it may become uncomfortable.

My guy friends are like my brothers. We hangout, do guy and girl stuff, talk about relationships and the differences between the sexes and everything else. They approve my dates and I approve theirs. Like a perfect relationship without the sex and the drama.\n\nHope this answers your question.

It is possible, but not very...  Most men and women that become friends usually end up sleeping together or developing feelings for one another in the long run.  I would recommend against it...

Yes they can, if they don't fancy each other. I've had lots of male friends that I haven't fancied for a second.

It really depends on whether you have any feelings for the girl because if not then there's nothing for you to act on and take that relationship to another level.  As soon as one person has some feelings for the other in a friendship then it ceased to be just that.  The bottomline is that the only way women and men can remain friends is if they both find each other somewhat unattractive.

its not that its impossible but in some cases the male friend may have been somebody that u have already dated or had sex with and if you meet a new a guy natuarally he would feel uncomfortable for negative about him being around u, because just females they dont like other females and as far as guys they dont like other guys especially if its a relationship involved

Yes they can. If they can't, they're not the kind of guys you want as friends anyway.

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 definitely think they can.  I have several male friends who I'd never date or hook up with, we just talk and hang out.  It makes things easier to have a male's perspective on things.  Plus girls are so scandalous, I know my guy friends wouldn't steal my clothes or my man!!

Could it be that your guy friends may like you more than a friend?
