    Yes, not every friendship is meant to be a romantic one.

    If you have 0 attractions and the friendship feels like only friendship then yes! Thing is...sometimes feelings change on either side and it has to end.

    I think the answer to that is probably unique to every person/personality. It can't really be answered with one blanket, definite, yes/no. Aren't humans grand?

    I'd say most definitely. But, like others stated, if there's an attraction on one side of the relationship it can definitely mess things up. I've had two female friends for over 30 years. I have never once in all those years thought of anything more than a lifelong friendship. I love them both like I would a sister. I do have the feeling that one of them might be attracted to me but I just ignore any little comment that might be said, kinda pretend I never heard it. This has only been mentioned a few times over the years and as far I can tell isn't an issue or affecting out friendship in any way. It would really suck if that did become an issue. No way would I want to lose what we have.

    My male friend are people that I've dated and it didn't work out but remained really good friends. Kinda got that whole attraction thing out the way from the start.

    Sure, it is possible if all the people involved only have friendly feelings toward each other.
    Can a girl who is attracted to girls be just friends with some girls? Yes.
    Can a guy who is attracted to guys be just friends with some guys? They seem to.
    If you were bisexual could you have any just friends or do you want a romantic/intimate relationship with absolutely everyone? I bet they can be just friends with someone.

    Most guys (according to my husband) would say yes but they'd be lying because they want to bang (almost) every girl they meet. Most girls would say yes because they truly believe it because girls don't want to bang every guy they meet.

    Yeah that's what I'm talking about, the "feelings change" and all the sudden if one of the friends is not interested in that kind of relationship with the other person the friendship is over ! So we can't be just friends!?!?

    So the conclusion is that attraction on one side of the relationship can mess things up! Ignoring those feelings from the other person helps you keep a friend, but is fair for the other person?? I would hate to be in that situation. Why can we just be friends lol

    Yup. When you have sex, that is what we call friends with benefits.
