Is friendship between men and women possible?
What do you think about friendship between men and women? Is it possible?
Do you have any good examples?
Some people say that it doesn't exist. Some people say they have one, and those who think that it's impossible say to them that it can be only if one of the friends is interested in being more than friends:)
Some say that it's possible only if they've already had sex or relationship and now it's over.
So, what can you say about it?

Yes, it's possible. I have a lot of guy friends and I dont fall for them or vise versa. Maybe because I grew up being close to my older brother. I treat my guy friends as my brothers and I dont consider having romantic relationships with them.

Yes, it's possible. I have a lot of guy friends too and Im enjoying their company as friends. Nothing deeper than that.

Its very possible. My hairdresser who happens to be handsome and straight and my best buddy. He and I chat all the time and hang together and work on marketing things together. There will never be any sex what so ever because we don't want to ruin a great friendship. My husband knows him and I are best buds and he is not afraid that I am going to sleep with him. I won't ruin my marriage for a one night stand or many it doesn't matter.
BUT I know this may be unusual because Joe and I talked about it. We decided from the beginning that one I'm married and two he will never ever get the chance so don't bother. He talks to me about the problems he has with his girlfriends and enjoys hearing what I think maybe the answer to whatever issue she maybe having. I am a great help so it seems.
He also calls me a Smart Blond and we would never be friends if I wasn't. He is 15 years younger than me. And btw he is single again and if you live in my area I can tell you were to get a awesome haircut! ;)

This is his photo you've added, isn't it? He looks nice:)
You're lucky to have this friendship... I think the real friendship between men and women can happen rarely...

Talking about Joe and the picture with my mom? (Mauri or has the world calls her Dr Mauri Collins PhD does it to you every time I guess) Yeah he is a great friend when my mom came to visit for Derek's wedding she got such a kick out of Joe as well. They hit on each other like crazy.. all in fun!! it was who could out do the other.. I about died laughing I was laughing so hard listening to the two of them at it. They are both single so it was cool..

I guess it is only possible if even one of "friends" has a relationship, if both of them are lonely - it is very possible to change the friendship into the romance.
I was sure that such friendship is possible, but when I stayed alone - one of my best "man-friend" suddenly became very romantic friend - and I liked that(at that moment)!!! And it was very normal for me to change him from the friend into the boyfriend... But then I understood that it cannot be more then just the friendship... And you should always know your limit in the friendship between man and woman.

Once you set your boundaries its great fun to have a guy friend. If he won't respect your lines you set that are never to be crossed then I don't think he would be a good friend at all.

I thought I had a real good friendship with a guy when I was younger... although I had my doubts whether he liked me as something more than a friend, or not... anyway, I didn't let it bother me and didn't think he'd like my looks... but then one day another bloke said my friend was into me, he'd actually told him he wanted to get a step closer... well, we remained friends but I've always kept my guard up! Right now, almost 8 years later, we don't keep in touch as much as I moved overseas... when I saw him again though I had the same doubts as many years back hmm... I think it's possible to have a friendship with a guy after all, but hey! don't we all have our sixth sense that help us see through a guy's real intentions in the first place? ;)

When you listen to your sixth sense it will tell you what is best for you. And it looks like what you did was just that, and it helped you from the sounds of it not get into something that would not of been right for you.
