    Yes, but sometimes the 3rd leg is too powerful.

    Lol!

    I think so.....they just have to both be in it for a friendship and nothing more.

    Men : Can u c Megan Fox naked and do nothing ?

    Women : Can u c Henry Cavill naked and do nothing ?

    Henry Cavill? Yes. I could easily do nothing.

    Megan Fox? I would do very naughty things with her if she consented. :blushing:

    Yes. There may be attraction, sometimes, but you just don't cross the line. I have had male friends my entire life. I don't flirt with them, and they don't flirt with me. We're just good friends.

    In for part 50:

    Yes, I believe they can. As long as there are boundaries that are respected.

    I'm not saying it's necessarily an easy thing to do, just that it can be done.

    oh! another one of these threads!!!!


    I'm just breathless with anticipation because I'm sure someone is going to say something that hasn't been said in the last five million threads about this topic!!!

    Cisheteronormative boredom, FTW!

    Honestly, I don't think so. I feel like they make think so, but at some point feelings will get involved that you didn't even know were there. One of ya'll starts dating someone, one of ya'll suddenly becomes single. That "just friends" thing can change very quickly. I was recently contacted by a guy I hung out with ONCE 4 years ago, before I was with my boyfriend. The guy didn't call me after that one hangout for like a year, and now here he comes again. He says I am a beautiful woman and he would like to have me as a friend at least on facebook if not in real life. He goes on to say that he actually was interested in me back in the day he just never called because he was going through alot and didn't want to add me to it. (All this time I assumed it was cuz I was fat). But now he is trying to get me to meet up with him and "hang out". Sound fishy to anyone else?

    Your situation does not sound like groundwork to be just friends.

    Can men and women be just friends? Yes, if they both put out.

    Well if that's your experience, it MUST be the case for all dudes. I stand corrected.

    Absolutely...even when their is attraction I still think its possible to be just friends. It really depends on the two individuals involved and their intentions

    Sounds like he is single and lonely and thinking back on all the women he could have had.

    No telling where you are on the list, but if this doesn't pan out, he's sure to think of another one that he hung out with eleventy-billion years ago.

    I'm not trying to question his sincerity... I just know guys that do this all the time. I get random phone calls from dudes I haven't spoken to in forever all the time, and they are really just calling to see if they might have a shot.

    But if you are single now, go out with him... maybe there is some chemistry there that you didn't notice before...

    you never know.

    Oh... and let me just add that friendship and mutual attraction are both two-way streets.

    Men and women can just be friends... but if there is a mutual attraction, then there is always a possibility that one might eventually want to be more than. That doesn't mean that they can't just be friends.

    I like to have man friends. But they are my husbands friends too. And we all together as a group. Never just me and a man friend.
