👀 Can Boys & Girls Be Friends?

[razamuhammad]

"You think " was enough to end the discussion

[guddupandit]

let me sort it more:

"Friendship is safe if one is totally not other's type."

[shashikiran]

To be honest I feel that friendship between guy and girl can exist if guy does not feel the girl is beautiful enough for him

[apurvabachute]

There are also guys who will try and gain your trust as a friend but will always have non-platonic intentions about you. There was never a 'friendship' to begin with. They were just binding their time for the right opportunity.

[wasteland]

there are very less men who don't cross the boundary and i must say that is some crazy level of self respect and morality❤

'end hooking up ' L generation 💔

[pujamishra]

So here's a theory that I have observed in most cases around me...if the girl is attractive the guy will automatically fall for her.. that's a fact...guys can't control this thing...and if a guy is attractive and most of the girls can control themselves...so basically if the girl is beautiful then no they can't be friends feelings will definitely interfere... I'm not 100% right... exceptions are everywhere..

[shivangitiwari]

The scenario they stated is only true for pretty girls. An average looking girl might just end up having unreciprocated feelings forever. But yes, both people not having same intentions still holds true.

[AnuragKumar-bssi]

I have at least 4-5 platonic female friends who are really close and yeah somewhere in my mind I had a thought of giving relationship a try but instantly ended up with a realisation that what we have currently is the best form of relationship we can have and I am still really good friends with them. So I guess it depends on person to person and how you control your emotions and feelings rather than you letting your emotions/feelings control you.

The more i age the more i find it hard to get instant attraction to a girl, back then in highschool i used to have crush all the time one after another. Now its as if it takes time for me from months to several years, last time i had strong feelings in a short span was a year ago.

And currently i have lots of female friends who are both good looking and normal, but i just cant imagine myself in a relationship with them.

Being just friends is fine, if crossed whole dynamic will be changed. Whats wrong with being in a platonic one instead.

“Why do majority of below average looking female seem to not have male friends, while most above-average or good-looking females often have male best friends? What are your thoughts on this dynamic between males and females?”


Just think 😅

[KalyaneeGautam-xt]

Falling in love with your friend is a quite complicated concept for me, I have had crushes on guys who I don't talk to or just not close with because If I get know them how would I like them anymore 😂😂😂

[PeterParker-kvrg]

It's possible only in two cases
1. The guy doesn't find the girl attractive (I ain't calling anyone ugly just saying that you're not their type)
2. The guy is loyal to someone else

[dhruv-]

Tbf I've had female friends from school whom I have just considered 'just friends' from the start. And i just cannot think of them from a relationship pov, and even if I do, I really get the ick.

[uvnbgix]

These platonic friendships can definately work if one of the guy/girl is ugly. I know because I am 100% platonic friends with these 2 girls, to get class notes from them.
Edit: maybe i worded it wrong before, I am not ugly 😭, my friend literally told me a week back, that 4-5 girls have called me cute this semester.

[averie]

So basically they are all waiting for a chance so we can’t ever have like a best friend without intentions

[arshiajain_]

No. I proposed to my guy bestie. He denied. He helped me get over the feelings. We're still besties. We're still close.

[mitalisingh]

Ohk so me and my bsf who is a "guy" have been together for like a decade now but we never had something like most of these people talk about. We never had any feelings for each other and i don't think we are ever going to have it. We have seen each others upes and down and standing there right beside each other through all of that and i know we have many more years to go together💗. And that end hooking up is something that i personally don't think as a friendship. These people on social media have never seen something like " real friendship". And i truly believe you can be a bsf to anyone gender really doesn't matter but it's just that you should know your boundaries.

[sanmedbij]

I do have 4-5 female friends (none like best friends) and i will be honest i do get attracted to them but i would never take that beyond friendship.
I am betting on arranged marriage that i will get someone more suitable because of my family background, my personality and my profession.

[ahsanaliiqbalansari]

Not possible if they hang out without the group. The group is the place where everyone stay on their limits out of that they will show you their true self. It's a common saying "If you leave a man and woman in an isolated place, satan is the third one"
