Hello! I'm an university student, and I happened to meet the friendliest girl ever! I really didn't feel attracted at all in the beginning, but the more I talked to her, I just got seduced in some way, even if she's super shy... So now I just really like her, we went to a movie together but she showed no real flirt there...but my question is, is it possible to be friends with a girl without feeling anything?

It is possible yes. I myself over here knows a girl who is a very good friend of mine. No matter what happens, i can't see her as my special girlfriend, but i do care for her. Whenever she needs help im there for her. When she thought she found a boyfriend around november last year. I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy because she found her happiness but sad because she get to spend less time with me, but when they broke up, again happiness and sadness kinda like reversing the things that i mention earlier. What we always do together, going window shopping, watching movie or eat. Kinda like two couples together but we are not. She's comfortable in telling me things even the most personal and intimate ones. I do the same as well.

YEs, i think.. I do have some guy friends that i don't feel anything but just friends.. Some people just feel that they will only be friends.. It is just sad if one of the person feels differently, then it become unrequited.

I have many male friends, there are very close to me, and I love them as a friend, no less and no more. of course, sometimes when a somebody got feelings for the other part, thats would be different, even if you accept the situation and you wanna have something with him/her. I know that the friendrelationship between a girl and a boy exist, I still believe this, I have had something with a friend, but instead of this, he is my friend.. have a nice day

Hai Friend... I am a degree student..In my college,I see a lot of boys and girls having a good relationship like friends and brother...In my college,I mingle with a huge number of boys..Some of them had behaved me in a bag manner..On that time,I avoided them and cut their friendship..Now I have a cute brother too in my college...He is an important person in my life...so a boy and girl can make any relationship like friends,brother and sister,and love..all are your choice...

I think htat they can. My daughter has always had more male friends than female and she was really close to some of them with no other feelings then friendship. it just depends on what both parties want.

yes it is possible. Me i grow up with all boys around me. I am more at ease being with my boy friends. So evertything is possible as long as you know your limitations and stands. it's good to have a friend with girls.

Yes a guy and a girl can be true friends without any feelings. I think your girl friends is true to you and dont feel anything but pure friendship so you should treasure it and for now dont do anything to dissolved the friendship. I understand that you might liked her but you need to be sure to your feelings first before doing the first move. Much better if you will take enough time to know each other and maybe someday both of you will have a relationship more than friends.

Hello samzls and welcome to the myLot :) I think that it is possible for a man and a woman to be true friends, but it is rare. Do you want to be just friends with this woman who you have met, or would you like to take the relationship a step further? It is very encouraging to find a 92-year old going to the University!! I am inspired!
