    Yes. Before you need to make sure if you two can hang without being intimate or feeling something. Spend a whole day togheter to see if you two can trust being around each other. Make sure you can hang with him as if he was one of the girls and make sure you can hang wit him to see you can be one of the guys. It can totally work.

    Sure. In fact, friendships involving the opposite sex are useful because they help both parties understand each other better. That way, the guy in the end, may be more confident when looking for someone special because he can always ask his "lady" friend for dating advice. The same goes with the female. She could always come to her home-boy for something that she wants to know about guys in general...

    are you paranoid about your boyfriend? its very rare that it works for long periods of time. if you think about it from an instinctive point of view, then why would a man and woman be friends?

    one of the 2 people could fancy the other but not want to admit it because it would cause upset and they wouldn't feel comfortable around each other ever again, unless the other felt the same way.

    Yes they can, they just have to be real careful not to flirt with eachother too much and not step over the friendly line!

    But it can be done!

    Personally, though I find it hard though when my best guy friend and I started to really trust eachother! I found him very attractive, and things just hit off! We have been toghether for about 6 months now. And I have known him since 4 years ago!

    Well good luck and best wishes!

    Yep. I've been friends with a woman for 25 years. She's attractive. When we started out we thought of crossing that line, but didn't want to lose what we have.

    yes ,that's very common..

    most of my freinds r boys n none of them was my boyfriend ..

    guys r more caring n helpful than girls..

    of course people around say i go out with a different guy everyday but it's not like that ...there was a concert last month n i went out with 4 of my boy friends ..i never had that much fun before around da girls

    well yes but not without something which is stopping them from gettin intimate..probably another intimate fren or anything else but otherwise without any reason i think they will inevitably get intimate no matter what

    Thats often easier for girls than it is for guys. Guys, especially the younger ones, are often testosterone-driven and usually want to have sex with any available woman.

    its pretty easy at first but you almost always end up becoming intimate in the long run.
