Guys and girls can’t be just friends, since someone always wants more.
This is something we have heard our whole lives, but I believe that guys and girls can just be friends.
There are plenty of guys in my life with whom I’m just friends.
We would never court each other because that would be gross — and I know the feeling is mutual.
If you’re reading this article because you want to know if you and your best friend of the opposite sex can be more, the truth is that I have no idea. Everyone’s situation is different, and I can only speak from personal experience. Sometimes It can get confusing: How can you not fall for someone you see almost every day? Someone with whom you have a close, comfortable, platonic relationship?
Sometimes, these friends lead you on without necessarily intending to do so. You’re likely filling a void for them, as well.
It’s totally healthy to have friends from the opposite sex. I think everyone should have them, in fact, as they can make for amazing friendships. However, I think there should be boundaries. Having sex, for example, is something good friends shouldn’t do with each other. Don’t get me wrong; you can totally have sex with your friends, but a friend with whom you spend all of your life ? Maybe not. Oftentimes, you won’t need to have sex with a friend to fall for him or her, however.
However Don’t hide your feelings if you find yourself in love with someone who’s supposed to just be your friend because falling for your friend will ruin the friendship, even if you ignore it. You must be honest with your friend and with yourself. If you’re the friend with whom the other party is in love, don’t lead him on. Give space; set boundaries, don’t kiss or try to take naps together. You’re the reason why he’s confused in the first place. Understand that he may need space from you. Don’t use people as emotional canes. Be honest.
