    Since some of my VERY closest friends are guys, I'd have to say,Most definitely. Heck one of my closest buds, used to take baths with me... when we were 3. There's nothing romantic, Ever. But if I ever needed a BIG brother, he'd be there in a heartbeat!

    Yes, though technically not a fan of it.

    When I was dating I always took the "I just want to be friends " line as "I don't find you attractive at all"

    Those things are not mutually exclusive. You can use that to end a relationship and then go tell your best girl-friend (not girlfriend) about it.

    Not if they are both attractive

    I used to think so, but experience had proved otherwise

    No. Someone has a crush on the other

    Absolutely... sometimes people confuse compatibility with attraction.

    Absolutely. Growing up on a house full of sisters I get along with women pretty well.

    yep. Best to exchange nudes first off though and clear the sexual tension out of the way. :)

    Yes, as long as they aren't attracted to each other.

    There is usually a point where they think "hmmm maybe" but if that passes quick enough then yeah sure
