Do u think there's any thing called brother &sister relationship or friendship relations between man &woman?

I wish I can tell you yes it can work, cause i know how nice it is to have a friend of the opposite sex.

and i wish to answer with a big no to protect you from getting frustrated from same experiences you have mentioned.

you can never guarantee that such relation won't develop to more than brothers and sisters, it works for some and doesn't work for others.

If you asked this question in a liberal community most likely you will find most people agree.

and if you asked it in a religious or conservative community definitely you will get the big no.

be yourself and don't think much about it, we are in a mixed community already and we have to deal with it practically not theoretically, as fraspa said that it's better to keep relations with opposite sex limited.

I've always limited my relationships with girls, all my friends are guys, and i prefer that my first female friend be my wife.

you can find a question similar to yours on yahoo answers, if you are interested

Edit

I think we should exclude relations that were initiated at childhood, as this type of relation start pure and free from adult emotions, and more likely it continue like this.

Yes, this type of relationship is possible, because I've experienced it. I gave examples below, the brother/sister friend is the first example. At the same time, there will always be some sort of sexual/love thoughts floating around, even if they never manifest outside of one's own mind.

You want to know experience, so here is mine.

I remember one male friend I had when I was a teenager. I never had any interest in this guy, he was a really nice person, intelligent, friendly, and funny. I knew him for about two years, so the only time we had was to develop a brother/sister relationship.

Had we known each other for longer, perhaps other things might have developed. You see, with every single close male friend I've ever had, there has been some sexual tension to one degree or another.

There is one I know, and we've never done anything physical, but we did like each other very much at one time, and were considering courtship, but we didn't do that after all. I fell in love with him at the time, and it was PURE love because it did not sprout from any physical contact, no. Since then, I've had other male interests and he is now married with children, but the truth is that I never fell <out of love> with him. I still have feelings for him, but I don't tell him. I respect his marriage and household.

As for any other close male friends I've had, some I have kissed, and with others it was more than kissing. This is something I'm not proud of, and alhamdulillah I stopped this behavior 14 years ago. I will never return to that, it's shameful.

If I'm not close to a male, and we're just acquaintances, then no, there is no sexual tension.

According to my experience, the answer is big and total YES !!!

I really don't see any reason to discriminate people according to their gender in any field, in this one either. We are all human beings and this statement has two consequences:

First of all, we obviously have something in common, right? Actually, in my opinion we are basically the same, it is only social influence that makes some of us somewhat different.

And secondly, it's not like we would jump at each other or even think about that just because we befriend each other. Only immature people would do that and you should not befriend immature people anyway.

I make NO difference between males and females when I make friends. I also have some great friends among the guys I've been dating, but that's another story.

EDIT:

Somebody pointed out that there might be a kind of sexual curiosity in a friendship between a male and a female. Yes, that might be true, but only if a person has no previous experience. If they do, it won't be the case and if they are mature enough, they will be able to focus to their partner only.

Like, I've already been dating guys, so of course I will not be curious about a relationship itself. The only "thing" that could arouse my interest or curiosity could be the guy himself. And that happens very rarely, as I have high expectations (criteria), so I'm totally neutral towards most of guys.

Another thing, when I'm in love with somebody, then I'm totally neutral to other guys in general. It's a natural thing, at least for me.

No there's no such thing. People are going to have friends of the opposite sex, but labeling it as a bro/sis relationship is only trying to convince themselves that there is nothing there. Perhaps, there ISN'T anything there. My husbands friend call me Bhabhi (sister in law)... we're not even friends or anything... but then several times i caught him staring at me for a long time and it made me feel uncomfortable. I think men tend to have an overactive imagination, regardless of the situation. Women can be neutral.... I am not saying that it's always like that... but it is very common. I once has a friend i called "brother" he called me "sister" but it turns out he expressed his feelings for me KNOWING that i was engaged... that was when i realized that people do slip even if they don't mean wrong. I try to stay away from keeping guys as friends. Second, i live in a small community.. our aunties here like to sit home drinking tea all day talking trash about younger women... it's just something i dont want to deal with because i don't want to hurt my relationship with my husband... if he hears something negative about me from someone else ... he will never be angry with me coz he knows i wouldn't do anything wrong, but he wouldn't like it if i keep the wrong company. I don't like him keeping bad company... and he gives me a lot of freedom to express my opinion on his friends and he always does what makes me happy coz in the end it is only good for our marriage

yes , I think I have a equal amount of male friends that are like a brother to me , I don't see anything wrong in this . My female friends I talk to much more , but there have been times my male friends have a interesting conversation that helps me learn a different point of view on a subject . Different cultures have a lot to do with this , maybe they are my friend " brother " because they can not look me in the eyes. It is true that men seem to be looking for more then just a brother -sister relationship , but it is easy to tell them to ------------------ Back off .

Friendship between man and woman is more strong than the other between women or men cuz there is no competition no jealousy,each part always trying to be honest against the other part,but in fact it is rarely,CZ the human behavior now is totally changed.

Based on experience, this kind of relationship is impossible, although I hear that it works for some but that I think it is extremely rare that there will NEVER be some sort of interest, curiosity or attraction. That is why now I don't have any male friends even at work. I keep my interaction with men very limited because in many cases, I find that they want more eventually.

Do you know my best friend is a male, 3 yrs younger & we've been best friends for nearly 30 yrs. We even have a slight likeness that makes others ask if we are brother & sister. My family also think of him as one of the family. Now my husband also has gotten to know him & also thinks of him as a good friend & there seems to be trust all round.

Never has there been any improper thoughts or intentions, we both respect our privacy, so there's no problems, it can work.

I do think it's possible and yes based on experience. But it can't be just any guy whose your best friend, it's got to someone you're compatible with. Two of my very best friends are guys and we are really close, and there has been no romantic feelings whatsoever, because they're like my brothers and I'm like their sister. Again, it really depends on the guy and the girl.

Yes definitely, my best friend is a man and weve been friends since we were 2 years old,(we used to be bathed together in the same sink!) we are both married to someone and now have children, and our husband/wife have no problem with it.
