    No, we can't! We're all sluts who have to do stuff to each other all the time. It's impossible to be friends. Finger friends? Sure. Just friends? No way.

    I can. Well, it depends on how you define friend.

    Of course they can, but circumstances and personalities can make it easier or harder. I've known my two best guy friends for about the same amount of time. With guy #1, it's always been platonic. He's a really great friend, always listens when I need to talk, always ready to go out and have a good time, always just easy to be around... But he's a people pleaser, and I'm not afraid to offend. He's significantly less emotional and impulsive than I am. I'm a lot more touchy-feely than he is. We have strongly different opinions on the big stuff like politics and religion. All of those things combined have prevented attraction or impulsive sexuality from ever coming up.

    With guy #2, it's a little different... We have extremely similar views, so I feel like he really "gets" me. He loves hugs even more than I do. Our personalities just click a little better. On top of that, circumstances have on occasion led to us feeling very alone and in need of someone at the same time. We've had to "break up" once, when we realized we were behaving too couple-y for people who are supposed to be friends and don't want a relationship with one another. It's gotten a lot easier to be just friends now that we realize we can fall into that trap, and while I'm not worried about things going places we don't intend them to go, I also know we need to make a conscious effort to keep it that way and not follow impulsive emotions when one of us is upset.

    ETA: While typing my long serious reply, banging and slutting it up happened. I want in!

    Are you taken? Because if not, this guy seems PERFECT for you.

    I am very close to my guy friend. In fact, out of everyone I've met since I moved back home I feel like he "gets" me more than anyone. We have similar views. We love to talk about religion and books, and we're both intellectual types. We're both thinkers too.

    That said, at first my husband was "put off" by my friendship with him. He told me that Friend only wants one thing from me. I backed away from Friend, and we do tend to back away when things seem too intimate for a friendship.

    Now hubby has a best girl friend at work, and he doesn't care at all about my guy friend anymore. The thing is, I get WAY more flack about having a guy friend than he does about having a "girl" friend, even though he is just as close to his girl friend as I am to my guy friend.

    Still-both of these people add to our lives, and in some respects they have taught us how to communicate with each other, so I think having them in our lives is a good thing--not a bad thing.

    Or I guess we could all just get naked and bench press cats together...:noway:

    Because interlocking parts are meant to interlock.
