<p>I just wanted to know your opinion. Can they ever be best friends without a relationship?</p>
<p>Easy. It won't be the guy's choice though.</p>
<p>I think most guys aren't really good at this, in my experience. Stuff usually ends up happening/guys usually want stuff to end up happening. Not a relationship, necessarily, but hook-ups are hard to avoid.</p>
<p>i agree. but i know a lot of girls that can be often described as tomboys having a lot of guy friends.</p>
<p>I guess girls and gay guys could be best friends without any tension.</p>
<p>I have been best friends with a guy for 8 years ... So I would say yes. Although we were constantly hounded with "when are you two getting married???" That ended when I actually did get married to someone else. LOL We are still best friends though. He is like one of my brothers. Most of my friends are guys so it makes sense that my best friend is also a guy.</p>
<p>Not with me, no. I have girl friends but I can't handle the sexual tension so I don't get too close.</p>
<p>Oh, boy! The infamous platonic relationship question!</p>
<p>I think this sums it up: Yes, if you're not hot. No, if you are.</p>
<p>^ummm...not so much</p>
<p>It's more like this: Yes, if you are both mature. No if either of you is not mature</p>
<p>^right, the guy can be gay too, as stated earlier.</p>
<p>Very easy. All my closest friends are guys. Opposite-sex friendships are awesome, because there's always someone to go to for advice about the opposite sex :) I admit though, it gets a bit awkward when one of them starts having a crush on you.</p>
<p>^ exactly!!! I also have three brothers so maybe that is why it is easy for me to be around guys.</p>
<p>I do have a lot of gay friends too. I guess I just have a lot of friends. LOL</p>
<p>Oh come on, that's bending the rules : /</p>
<p>Guy friends eventually want to hook up like at least 90% of the time. I'm leaving 10% for these "mature" guys you refer to, lol.</p>
<p>You forgot another exception....relegious boys</p>
<p>castratos too</p>
<p>

<p>You ask for too much from us >___________<</p>
<p>My best friend is a girl. There's never been any tension between us because I've known her since I was 5 (heck, her family lived in our basement for a year and a half). The most awkward (yet funny) situation between us was when I took her to homecoming as a friend sophomore year, and when we got there she wouldn't dance with me, saying, "It'd be like dancing with my brother!"</p>
<p>With my other female friends, it's different, you know, the thought does pop sometimes, but I've usually had the bad luck of befriending girls already in relationships or are interested in other guys, so I try to put it out of my mind and just enjoy the friendship as is.</p>
<p>I have a lot of guy friends, and several close ones. Almost of all of them have liked me at some point (they've flat out told me...I'm not just assuming) and about half of them have asked me out at least once. </p>
<p>So my answer, sure guys and girls can be good friends...but I'm not sure that they can without at least one of them developing a crush on the other.</p>
<p>There's no such thing as a platonic relationship between a guy and a girl</p>
