Friends Of The Opposite Sex: Must They Date Or Have Sex?

That is a man for u, I will think the same way sometimes

I believe it is possible to be very good and close friends with members of the opposite sex without any sexual attachment. Some guys however seem to be blind to this or maybe want to graduate the friendship. Sex between friends surely undermines friendship. But if they both agree to upgrade to the next level the next level, then i think that is cool 
I have had a few male friends i have had to stop seeing because while i was in for just friends, clearly they wanted something more which i wasn't able to give. I would hate to lead a guy on, that would be cruel

yes it possible to be friends with the opposite sex, without any sexual attachment
am an example of that,   

it's not posibile to be just good friends. with time passing, u will most certainly desire a intimate relation, either you are a boy or girl. this things are natural, human if u'D like. if u ask me for a reason, i'll give it to u.

it's is perfectly possible to remain just friends with a member of the opposite sex. What is not 'so' possible for some people, is not to think about having sorta "higher friendship with that person". It's kind of hard, not to at least even think about it. Sometimes we think out loud, and before u know it,  u r asking the person out.

It also depends on the kind of signs you are both giving yourself. As a girl, if you know u don't want ur guy-friends wanting more, don't be all OUT-THere,  Yeah they r ur friends, u can do just about any thing in front of them,  but hunnie,  they have somethings called Hormones. lol,  That thing acts crazy.

No, freinds must not date or have sex. But it's hard to find a guy-friend, girl-friend relationship where,  one of them isnt thinking More of the other. Even tho, u keep telling ur brain that "Oh no, he's like a brother",  there's a little thing back there saying "look at his lips". Forgive me, but it's reality.

Have you seen "my best friends wedding"? Daing,  that movie.

Anyways,  I'm not saying it's not possible for friends to remain friends without thinking more of each other, but it's mostly hard, especially when you are TOO CLOSE. In this our new world,  *sighs*

@hot-angel
Thanx i feel you.
@dracosh
 i actually have one we have been close for like 4yrs i can tell him anything and vice versa.until this yr when he had to travel.
i must say he  one of he's kind.
Yeh, feelings show up! but its left for you to realise if its born out of pity for the other person or weakness on your side.

well Imani, u can't speak for them. if there is a tension, somebody feels it, wether it's u or him. maybe u weren't as friends as u thought concerning them. didn't they made a step?

Sally: We are just going to be friends, OK?
Harry: Great, friends. It's the best thing, You realize, of course, that we can never be friends.
Sally: Why not?
Harry: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape, or form - is that men and women can't be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry: No, you don't.
Sally: Yes, I do.
Harry: No, you don't.
Sally: Yes, I do.
Harry: You only think you do.
Sally: You're saying I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry: No, what I'm saying is they all want to have sex with you.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally: So you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive.
Harry: No, you pretty much want to nail them, too.
Sally: What if they don't want to have sex with you?
Harry: Doesn't matter, because the sex thing is already out there, so the friendship is ultimately doomed, and that is the end of the story.

This dialogue is the introduction to the best illustration I have ever seen on man-woman relationship and it's called The Ladder Theory. Read more about it at http://www.laddertheory.com/

I think this totally depends on the individuals involved, relationships can be maintained for long without sex and i'm a living witness but then one thing leads to another it depends on how these people relate and act around each other if one of them is suggestive something might happen infact it depends on those involved.

This is exactly my beef.
Must girl-guy mean or lead to sexual relationship.
Most people can’t think of relationship without thinking of sex
Friendship and sex are on different lane. I think it a mindset thingy

Well as far as i can read,i've become aware of the fact that most boy girl friendship leads to one thing or the other; it's either sex,dating or little romance.

According to my view a guy-girl friendship is a process of choosing your own pal,no friends are ordinary, be it boy or girl,if you're a guy you'll have close pals and if you're a girl too you'll have your girl pals so crossing it is just to choose the opposite sex you'll feel more comfortable with and it always leads to dating.

For example some girls cheat on their boy friends by sleeping with their so called guy friends, the guy-girl friendship thing is just a way of knowing each other,after knowing each other and you like him,you tend to take it to the next level.

That so true! 
but i can't be sleep'g with ol  d guys am friends with
"just friends" doent seem to stick in most guys heads
