Should a man and a woman try to be friends if there is an attraction?
We are both married, there is no "love" connection here, just probably more of an attraction than there should be: physically, and mentally. Should we even try to be friends, or should I just run far away and fast?
Looking for real answers here, hopefully people who have had experience in this.

Usually, male/female friends share SOME sort of attraction. It's pretty typical. However, it sounds like there may be a little more possibly happening here than an "Oh, he's so cute, but we're just friends." I had a guy friend that I was extremely close to. We were practically joined at the hip. And he was cute, you know. He was attractive. But I had no romantic interest in him. So being friends wasn't a problem at all. But then, he crossed the line one day and had decided that he wanted to try to date and that changed the entire dynamic. I didn't date him, but just knowing that he had that kind of interest changed things to the point where we couldn't be friends anymore. And that what it seems like with you and this guy. Like there's not only an attraction, but an interest. That dynamic, to me, is reason enough to not even bother trying to be friends. You don't want to put yourselves in a situation where you do something you'll later wish you hadn't.
