Can a single woman and man ever really be good friends???

[luther]

Or does sex always get in the way???

Is one, or prehaps both of them secretly wishing or hoping for something more to happen???

Is this an age old question???

A kick in the crotch will be administered to those who engage in bickering or serious off topic posting on the thread..........

Let the warning to forth..........

Have you been dumped again old friend lol

I have loads of single woman friends and sex never gets in the way , suppose it shouldnt when you pay for it.


Seriously though i dont think platonic relationships can exist and both parties would just be kidding themselves

I have always maintained that if one party fanies the other they can never be true friends.

Totally agree .

[dr love]

gay men and women make good friends,platonic relationships fairly rare .

[scotus]

I genuinely believe they can.

Sometimes you just connect with someone at some level, a shared interest or whatever, and just know somehow that you will remain friends but not become more.

I am curious as to why you mentioned a single woman - maybe because sub-consiously, or otherwise, you just know that anything else is out of bounds?

Of course, it may grow into something else over time, but equally it may not

Of course they can. Some of my best mates are female and i've never so much as kissed them.
Having said that, i'd be lying if i said thinking about something more had never crossed my mind (especially when drunk) but thank god i've never tried. Why ruin a good thing.

i have some good female friends, i also have thought about could there be something more and what's not to say they have thought this way aswell but your right in saying u would rather keep things as good friends, better than losing there friendship by trying to create something more.

I don't believe in an 'entirely' platonic 'good friend' relationship between a man and a woman (unless their sexual preference is different). Nearly every pair of different sexed best friends that I've known have always at some point said, "if things were different..." or "I had a naughty dream about...", etc. I believe once that thought has crossed their minds, the whole platonic thing becomes redundant.
