in my view there is no relationship it is only attraction between women and man. They start there by friendship if possible relationship.

Well, most of the time friendship between man and woman ends up in relationship, but not all friendships between man and woman ended in a relationship, there are some friends who remained friends all through life. May be it depends on how they treated each other, personally I always make it clear if my friendship to a guy will proceed to romance or not, if it will not then I will make sure he understood everything.

there are so many kinds of love.. romantic, family, platonic love. it is not impossible for a man or a woman to fall in love with someone he is always with... but i still believe that a man and a woman can be friends for real, no other feelings involved as i have been in this situation before... i have a friend and there was nothing between us, only friendship.

I think there might be the real friendship between men and women. it is the experience i had,you know,i have a good female friend,and we keep well along with,sometimes we would go out for a drink and chat for hours,nothing would happen i think,it wouldn't happen.

I think there can be. I have a couple male friends I would never consider being romantic with, and we're really good friends who talk about lots of stuff, and we are both in relationships. And most of my friends are male. Of course, things happen, but I think it is definitely possible, and I think it happens quite a bit.

Of course I have a girl friend actually an office mate that we became close as friends and others say we look good together but then we chose to remain good friends. We were separated for a while and when we got to see each other again I was already married to other. She remains a good friend of min although contact has lessened but if we do get in touch we do get as friends would look like.

Most of my life I have been "one of the guys." In several situations throughout my life I have found myself the only girl in a group of five or six guys. A couple of them have admitted to looking at me romantically but they also said they'd rather be "just friends" than try something romantic that may ruin the friendship if it ended badly. But I've also had several male friends who were never more than good friends. At my school we had two fraternities and one sorority which kind of made us the "Little Sister" of the family so even though I spent the first 19 years of my life as an only child I have since then gained dozens of big brothers whom I love dearly.

Yes, there are real friendships that do not grow into romantic involvement into the future. Those sort of relationships are sort of like "brother and sister". Although for me personally things can get creepy becuase I would have a male friend who I think of almost as family, ask me out on a date. Of course I would answer no, but we still would be friends. Also, if there is no attraction maybe that could help maintain a friendship.
