    I do have a few female friends, if you are both in a relationship how is it not possible? Or when you're both single. Of course it get's more difficult when you are attracted to her or the other way around but if you just like eachother as friends I don't see why it's impossible

    it's not impossible. i never said it was. i just said its unlikely.

    i know a few girls that i talk to from time to time, but we aren't friends....we're acquatainces

    friends are people you hang out with in real life, they're ppl who you go out and do things with, they're people who will generally be there for you when you need a hand. friends is one of those terms that gets thrown around too easily. i only have a small handful of people who are truly friends.

    and as i said in the opening post, i'm not opposed or against having female friends, it just hasn't worked out that way.

    what a shocker that girls don't want to hang out with someone who calls them "civilians"

    Sounds a lot like those "sex workers" you order. Do you consider them friends then?

    If you can't be just friends with a woman, then you probably have a lot of growing up to do both socially and sexually. Not that I'm saying it's bad that attraction can develop between friends of the opposite sex (it's certainly happened to me), but if you develop feelings for every potential female friend you come in contact with, then you have some issues you need to sort out.

    It's also definitely not true that you can't be friends with someone you were at one point romantically attracted to or vise-versa.

    never claimed i can't be just friends with a woman, i just said it hasn't worked out that way.

    but some of you guys are obviously making this thread about just me. i already mentioned in the opening post that the girl i was talking to has ZERO MALE FRIENDS. not only that, but i know other people, male and female, who don't have any friends of the opposite sex.

    so i think it just varies a lot from person to person......good feedback you guys

    I've got a few female friends, at one stage or another I was attracted to them but after a while the attraction was lost.

    I have female friends. When dating new girls some are alright with it, others can't handle it. I blame the media for making it out that every guy wants to f--- any girl that walks.

    To clarify, I just meant feelings that neither of you acted upon—not someone you actually dated/hooked up with. The latter is definitely a struggle, no matter how cool the person might be.

    I had the same thing. Had a relationship with a girl for 3 years and after that we decided to stay friends. It was good for a month or 2 but didn't really work. We just knew eachother too well lol
