We're constantly laughing, we're one of the first people we tell everything to, we confide in each other and I never get bored of spending time with him or talking to him. I can honestly say that I have never thought of him in any way other than a friend and I know he doesnt see me in that way.There's not a problem, I'm just wondering, do you think can men and women be just "good friends"? It amuses us the amount of people who have basically told us that something is going on :) Reply to this Question Share |

Yes, Men & Women can be just "Good Friends". Each and Every one of us has a feminine & masculine side; normally one side being stronger than the other. Lot`s of women were tomboys as youngsters; and get on better with men in later life. Many men have a sensitive side; which wasn`t encouraged to come out as youngsters. These adult friendships work well. The other people, whose feminine & masculine sides are even, mix best with other "evens". Thought it would be good to have some technical stuff on the site! Don`t know what "sides" you guys have; but you get on well, carry on laughing together! With Love, Heather.

I definitely think men and women can be just good friends. My best friend is a guy. However there was once an element of unacted upon sexual tension between us which may have cemented our friendship a little. However if you're comfortable with him and you enjoy spending time with him then sod anyone who says you can't just be friends and enjoy it. It's rare to find a friendship that makes you feel so complete and comfortable about yourself.

Like my relationship with one of my female friends, we, well she tells me pretty much everything. We laugh, joke, talk about each others thoughts, feelings, and such, and often meet up for bubble tea, movies, and dinner.
