Is it possible for a guy and a girl to just be really close friends?

Is it really possible for a guy and a girl to just be really close friends; best friends, but not be "together"? Do you know of any examples for either side.

    You dont have to be gay to be best friends with the opposite sex, sometimes you get a deep bond with someone and it doesnt matter whetehr there a guy or a girl. But if your having thoughts about this then I'd prolly say its not possible for whoever your talking about and yourself.

    My bestfriend is a Guy a very Straight guy or atleast I think he is lol he has been with a lot of girls so i think he's straight , my point is , I am a Girl and He's A guy and We're bestFriends , Never been more than that , I just see him like a brother and I hope he sees me Like his sister. ( We go out to eat together , we go everywhere together , We join Cooking Competitions Together , he tells me about his Girlfriend , His Problems , Txts me everyday)

    Yes, it's possible, my best friend is a guy and we don't like each other like that. He would tell me, i know him and he would. You don't have to be gay to have a best friend of the opposite gender(as some idiots think). 100% possible!

    It's possible, 1% out of 100%, they can fall into love easily because they knew each other for a long time and they have been sharing secrets.

    I think to be a friend with somebody you have to love them... it doesn't mean that you are gay!

    so yes i think it is possible no matter your sexuality.

    best friend/lovers: Erica and Ethan on the tv show "Being Erica", the main characters of "maid of honor"

    best friend/friends: I'm not a tv show but i have plenty of close guy friends who are straight and so am I.

    Of course it's possible. 2 of my very best friends are wimmin, and I've never tapped either of them. Thought about it, of course, but I know, ultimately, I'd rather have them as friends than risk not having them at all.

    ya a lot of my close friends are guys. you don't have to be "together" with a guy to be really good friends

    actually yes even if your both straight. ive had a best friend who i know didn't like me and i didn't like him and we were best friends for years and he knew everything about me so it is possible.

    Absolutely, I am very good friends with lots of my exes. Both male and female and have no desire for hooking up with them again and viceversa.
