Yes, but only in the short run. In the long run, the closeness will fizzle out if nothing dramatically common to both happens to sustain the closeness. |

Ofcourse they can,I'm a living proof. |

slimyem: Wait till your best friend gets married and comes to Nairaland to start this thread. I am married but in-love with my best friend. If the peron is not your relative, forget it. The attraction will be there, whether or not you act on it is a different matter; but to say the attraction is not there would be to lie to yourself. There has to be something that you like in "your friend" and the truth is that we are not wired in such a way to have close friendship with the opposite gender without wanting more. Adam and Eve started-out as friends before they became lovers- we are all evidence of this! This is the truth, any other thing is the counterfeit. |

Re: Can A Man And Woman Be Close Friends Without Having Anything In Mind ? by slimyem: 12:07pm On Dec 12, 2011 |
maclatunji:in short,you are saying it is almost impossible not to be attracted to the opposite sex no matter who she/he is.right?i hope not! Being disciplined enough to act on attraction or not is not the point.the point is inexistence of physical attraction is very possible in relations btwn opposites. |
Re: Can A Man And Woman Be Close Friends Without Having Anything In Mind ? by maclatunji: 12:22pm On Dec 12, 2011 |
slimyem: Smart girl, I like the way you identified the real issue. Yes, I am saying you cannot be close friends with a member of the opposite gender without physical attraction creeping-in unless you are very close relatives. |
Re: Can A Man And Woman Be Close Friends Without Having Anything In Mind ? by mashnino(m): 12:28pm On Dec 12, 2011 |
maclatunji: might be possible but only in few cases |
Re: Can A Man And Woman Be Close Friends Without Having Anything In Mind ? by Pennywise(m): 12:37pm On Dec 12, 2011 |
It may be possible. But I am not interested. Not sure if I can wait long enough to find out. |

Re: Can A Man And Woman Be Close Friends Without Having Anything In Mind ? by slimyem: 12:54pm On Dec 12, 2011 |
maclatunji:and i am saying it is VERY possible.i have male friends i love just like i love my family and would do anything for just as i would for my family.male friends that fall in this category do not appeal to me physically or sexually and these two are important drives for a relationship.don you think? |

Sure, why not. |

slimyem: Like really? I assure you those guys have been sampling vibes from you. You just don't realise it; are you one of those girls that thinks nothing of a "harmless hug." Yes or No! |
