can men and women be friends alone ?

yes....on the contrary... some step on thier limits...stepping on a defficult relationship...once your frend become your lover, and things goes uneasy...you cannot bring back the same relationship that you have when you are in friendship...trust me it will never be the same..

Yes man and woman can be just friends. As i am having one male friend very close friend but not more than that

yes i have a number of friends that are guys. it's actually nice to have guy friends since you can have a "guys point of view" whenever you have problems especially relationship wise. plus they think differently and are fun to hang out with.

yes i think men can b good friends of women.... i also had a friendship with a girl for nearly a year but not now... because of any other reasons.... during that time i never had a feeling that i have fallen in love with... its was a love of friendship... i think it was friendship because i knew that she is already in love with any one else.... may b thats the reason behind that

if its just the two of them its impossible to occur naturally unless the theory is purposely challenged. it will always go one way or the other. but never till the end. but it is possible that it could happen but the two of them will most likely have had an intimate relationship to see if they could be a thing before realizing that they don't match and should go back to being friends. so for me it could never happen.

Well I think that can happen even if rarely. It is easier if one of them is gay though hehe, I think that on the base of a male female friendship there is always some sort of attraction, but what if they are both engaged to someonelse? I don't think it is impossible but not very common.

I have been friends with my female flatmate for several years now...and that is all it will ever be, she does not interest me as a lover, and she feels the same way. It really annoys me that people automatically assume that we are a couple too just because we live together...it's quite sad that people are so narrow minded in that respect.

Yes...that is possible. My sister friends had a male friends for over six years already. They did not enter in to a relationship even once. They are not attracted to each other. They were there for each other because of their friendship nothing more nothing else.

yes of course but must put a limit to it coz some guys used friendship as an advantage to get the attention of the girl without the girl knowing about it. if the girl already trusted him sometimes they went out of town and the guy might going to do something against her well. i have that experience actually, when me and my ex have fight and when his gone for 2 months without a words i was very sad tht time, and so i met another guy and offer his friendship to me. at first he looks so nice and looks like he cares for me and only want me to be happy. his always there for me. then my last birthday, he knows that i am alone so he invited me to go out of town so i can feel relax and think more better from my boyfriend that time. and he took advantage of it. sine he looks so nice and since he told me he likes me and so i accepted him. and now he got me pregnant. and when he found out i got pregnant he just left me without any words. luckily my ex comes back. i wanted to tell him im pregnant and its his fault, as i will not going to get pregnant if he didnt left me that time, i know i can be safe since my ex is now living in london and we only talk via chat though he want to get me from here. we still talk with my ex and i have no idea about the guy who got me pregnant, i dont even know where he is now.

Actually not just men and women, I guess when one person has other commitments, such as having their own family, it's hard to find time to meet up as often as compared to the past. But for now, although I am attached, I still manage to find time to go out with my friends (without my boyfriend though) and they are mostly guys (some are attached as well). I think it's not that difficult for me afterall to be friends with guys and be just friends. Or maybe because they see me more of a buddy friend than a lady friend (that's what I guess because I had more or less the same interest such as online gaming etc)

I think its not possible for long time. people say that there are many relations apart from being a wife or lover but if someone is not married and going out with a girl there are chances that he/she will fall in love and might get married. I think relations are not just talk and walk, it may be more than that as well. Be good in all relations, committed or expecting commitment :)

Definitely. The majority of my friends are guys, and our relationships are purely platonic. Some of them have girlfriends and even that hasn't affected our friendships that much. I find guys to be much easier to hang out with, personally; they don't get offended so easily, they don't start rumors, they're honest. So much more agreeable. Granted, sometimes friendships can be hard to maintain without turning romantic. That's what happened with me and my current boyfriend. Friends for two years, couldn't ignore the tension any longer, started going out. But I think that's the exception, not the rule.

none of human alone, human is social creature, even unsocial people indirectly need the others too, so why living alone if you have the others beside you :) by the way , you can alone like me now, but interact with the other in internet thanks for this good discussion :) sincerely reborn is hard

Hi,friend mean a person you know and you like can be a man or woman,yes it can be friend between man and woman and it can be platonic love no more.

Yes, men and women can be just friends. I had a friend for 8 years and we did not feel anything more than friendship towards each other. TATA.

yes i have seen many cases where there is pure freindship between men and women..and that is true freindship ..otherwise it is treated as timebeing lust and cant be helpful for long life time

Oh ,my best friend is a male and i definitely can talk to him about almost anything.When it comes to give an advice he can be a better "provider" than a female.I could never look at him as a potential partner or anything else besides my friend and i know is the same for him.I;ve heard that a man would make a better friend for a women and viceversa
