-120 It's impossible for a girl and and a guy to be "just friends" if they're both single and straight. One way or another, one of them with develop feelings for the other--despite if they voice them, amirite?

For what it's worth, I've never had a platonic relationship with a girl where I never developed even SLIGHT romantic thoughts for her...I voted Yeah You Are

from experience i know that it can happen. maybe not at first, but a guy can be a great friend. for example, i have a best guy friend who i have no feelings whatsoever for, and he feels the same, even tho at the beginning it wasnt like that, it turned out to be a great friendship. and hes like a brother to me.

yeah but the point is, that at one point you developed feelings that were not completely platonic

Well if you don't develop feelings, even platonic, then are you really "friends"?

I disagree... I can't vouch for certain for any guy friends I've had, but I've had most of them for 5+ years and never had any feelings for or attraction to most them. The 2 I did... well, let's just say we got the tension out of the way when it happened and moved on ;D

Well I think it's actually more that guys are not able to have a 'friendship' without wanting something more ... If a guy puts that much effort into a friendship he doesn't just like her as a friend, he almost definitely wants something more

You could say the same about girls. Girls put a ton of effort into being friends with the guy they like.

I have guy friends that don't "have feelings for."

Isn't this like the entire plot of "When Harry Met Sally" ?

Not every guy I'm friends with no, but the guy I'm the closest to yes. My best friend is a guy and I love him deeply but it is not in a romantic way, Though my becoming his friend started out because I had feelings for him. I think this post is very true. If you get really close to a person you can't help but fall for them even if it just for a short time.

Uh, what? I have plenty of guy friends that I love and care about deeply, but more in a best friend or brotherly / sisterly way. The guy I'm closest with, yes, I do have very strong feelings for him, but it doesn't happen with every guy you meet.

One of my guy friends and I have been friends since 1st grade. We are now entering high school, and neither of us has ever had romantic feelings for each other. This is similar with quite a few of my other guy friends.
