Can guys and girls be just friends? That is a question I have asked myself for years, and even though I have many guy friends I still ask myself that one particular question. I ask it because anytime I hang out with a guy all the time someone expects me to be dating the guy when I’m not. I have a few very close friends that I don’t have any emotional feelings for they are just someone that is there for me, and that I can rely on whenever I need someone or something.

I have asked many people their opinions on whether or not guys and girls can be just friends. Some have said yes and others say no because either one or the other has feelings for the person whether they state it or not. I have had multiple conversations with my sister before and we always talk about when I get an actual boyfriend how I will lose most of my guy friends because there is a point when it doesn’t become appropriate to hang out with a guy alone. I don’t always believe that though because one of my best friends is a guy and it is strictly friends and even when I have a boyfriend I still plan on keeping our friendship and hanging out with him.  I have also gotten opinions from my friends as well and they also have different opinions on this situation as well. Some say guys and girls can be just friends, and others say that it isn’t possible because someone or the other has feelings just like I said above.

What is your opinion can guys and girls be just friends? Or is there too much of a chance that one or the other will get emotional feelings?
