yes. i am living proof of this!

now, that is not to say that u may not be physically attracted to them. in fact, i think that physical attraction is what initially brings many of them together in the first place. especially on the male's end. i would honestly say that at least 80% of my male friends would have sex with me if i allowed it.



don't flatter yourself, this is true for all women. men want sex. if you offer it, 80% of them (if not more) would take the opportunity. you would have to be terribly ugly, or disfigured to lower that threshold even slightly.

I really don't know. I ended one friendship with a guy friend of 2 years cause even though he knows how in love I was w/ my scorp at the time, he aggressively pursued me and tried to get me to have sex with him one day. then he said fuck you. Just a couple of days ago, I got into big time with my ex Virgo friend of about 3 years now. He for some reason thought he could have sex with me too. And I rejected even his subtle advances and hints to get me to go out with him, I guess he thought over time he'd wear me down. It's just wierd to me cause I talk to these guys, about my guy and any other guy I am interested in. When I say you don't have a shot you don't have a shot! If I don't see you that way, I'm not gonna see you that way in a few months either or we wouldn't have just been friends for years. I really do believe a guy has some type of attraction or thinks he has a chance to be friends with a girl. Maybe because she constantly says she wants to be friends she's also a challenge soon to find out a never ending one.

I do believe that men & women can be Friends. BUT there are some limits though. 1. No emotional attachment can occur (b/c it if does, it will naturally clowd the judgement of 1 or both people + when someone is not emotionally attached to you in a romantic way, they are the MOST likely to be their true selves around you) 2. No sex (b/c that always opens the door for establishing an emotional attachment OR all the emotions that come from giving your body to someone who won't ever consider you relationship-worthy. I mean the list goes on & on. Nowadays, it Is hard for women & men to be just strictly friends b/c the more you admire someone as a friend, the more natural it is for you to start imagining how admirable that person would be in the relationship sense or if both people were to take the friendship further. It IS very hard though, assuming that 2 people are only friends in the 1st place b/c they have alot in common & admire eachother. Alot of people pick their friends the same way they pick potential relationship prospects (based on what the 2 have in common, what they admire about eachother that made them become friends in the first place), so I do agree that while it IS possible for both genders to strictly be friends, it IS hard & rare.
I know one thing...when 2 people have been good friends (and ESPECIALLY for a long time), one person starting to like the other person can become very confusing & mind boggling. They say 2 people should be friends FIRST before entering into any kind of relationship/commitment & this creed only makes things more complicated b/c it's natural to feel attracted to your friends, b/c you feel you already know enough about them vs. some stranger that approaches you on the street, wanting your digits & wanting all of your time.

Plus it all depends on how both people became friends in the 1st place. Everything depends on how & under what circumstances you met them and/or became friends, how long you've been friends & what you admire about them so much or share in common that allowed the friendship to be considered a real friendship in the 1st place. I DO NOT believe however, that 2 people who have been intimate & have had feelings for eachother FIRST before building a friendship, can become & remain true friends. After an emotional attachment has been made, it's natural that your judgement will be slightly clouded and/or biased. But anywho, for example, if you as a woman become friends with a man b/c you've always had a crush on him & wanted him in your life some way, shape or form, then there's a HUGE chance that feelings/emotions will get involved, thus making the possibility of that "line" eventually being crossed a possibility. If you become friends with someone while they were in a relationship, it might prevent you (b/c of guilt) from making the decision to proceed in further admiring that person. But then again, it all comes down to why you're friends with that person in the first place. If your friends with them for all the wrong reasons (for their looks, for example) or for what they can do for you or for your own hidden intentions, then in those cases I don't believe it's possible for a real friendship to MAINTAIN. It can of course be established but maintaining is a whole 'nother story
