Can guys and girls really just be friends?

I know EVERYONE must have asked this question once in their life...

I've been casually dating a guy for about 2 months now, and he has this one girl that I feel really is more than a friend, but he keeps reassuring me that she's just a friend. I've been cheated on in the past so I know I have some trust issues, I also know that we're not boyfriend and girlfriend and I shouldn't care... but I'm starting to develop real feelings for him and if he's with this girl then I would rather end things now with him than let things go on for how ever long they will...

They have pictures together all over facebook, and their body language just leads me to believe that they're more than friends... In one pic (from before I even met him) he has his arm around her and is holding her hand, in a pic (from after I met her) they're sitting in two separate chairs, and his legs are spread apart, and her foot is resting between them. There are A LOT of pictures like this with them together, and I know I wouldn't be sitting like that, or holding someones hand if there wasn't something else going on. But then again I've never had a successful friendship with a guy, they either like me and want to be with me or it's the other way around...

Anyways, any and all answers are appreciated thanks! lol

I don't think guys and girls can ever just "be friends". At some point, one of them will fall for the other and expect the friendship to turn into something more. It's just how we're programmed to be, for the most of us, we're attracted to the opposite sex so after spending time with them we'll eventually find a quality we particularly like and we could develop more than just friendly feelings for them. However, there are guys and girls that have a brother-sister relationship but before they got to that point, one of them liked the other

One person is always secretly in love with the other
