I've had them go either way...had some that were great friends until graduation and stuff, then there were some that just didn't work out because feelings did get in the way.  |

oh yea. my best friend since third grade is male and ive grown up with him and hes practically like my brother. i have never felt an attraction to him in THAT way.. and i dont think he has, either.. just because he has never talked about it or hinted around about it. We've been friends for 12 years and never feel akward  |

yah they work but if one person gets an attraction for the other and the feeling isn't mutual of course there will be hurt feelings but if you work at it and give each other some space everything should work out  |

Well... My best friend is a guy and has been for 7 years now. I don't think either of us have feelings towards each other! I know what you mean tho, guy/girl friendships that stay just that are pretty rare.  |

a good majority of my friends are male....and it's never been awkward...i think some people can make a friendship with the opposite sex work and some can't  |

Oh my gosh, I've got so many platonic male friends it aint funny. Even the guys I had romanitic relationships with always end up as platonic friends. *sigh* It's totally possible to keep it that way as long as you make it clear that that is the way it is and that is the way it's going to stay. *hugs*  |

Flirting is not being a friend. I know from experience, and I keep my guy friends forever. I am very conservative with my womanly wiles.  |

Friendship is based on love- the very same love that married couples have. My two best friends are guys, and i love them both, and they love me. Many times the thought of "what if" has crossed my mind, and with one of those friends we even have an agreement that if we are not married by the time we are 30, we will just get married. Friendship is love. If you feel awkward around a guy friend, just try to overcome it, or talk to your friend about it! For now, try not to let things lead into 'something more', because friendships are worth so much more then "boyfrieds/girlfriends." Trust me on that.  |

No, I don't think they ever work! I think guys are usually friends with a girl because they like her and want to start going out with her after they get to know her a little better..so then they ask you out and you only like them as a friend and they get all mad when you turn them down and never talk to you anymore! It's so annoying! That's what my best guy friend has been doing to me lately..aaargh! Guys are so annoying.  |

If the friendship is strong enough you won't be awkward. I have a guy best friend and we've gone out three different times, we aren't now and we're still best friends and have been for six years and I never feel awkward around him. It just has to do with how important the friendship is.  |

I had strong feelings towards a gal friend, she was always there, she cooked dinner, she did the laundry thing. And in between she (OOPS!) '[LOST HER TOP, BUT IT NEVER XCROSSED THE LINE AND WHENEVER MY BAND WOULD GET BACK IN MIDDLE AMERICA, THERE SHE WAS, MY BEST FRIEND TURNED OUT TO BE THE BIGGEST C%$#, but I love all and I've said things that didn't need  |

Most of the best (friend) relationships I have had have been with guys.  |

Unfortunately my experience says no. Not because I've never had good friends that were of the opposite sex, but because they never last. Either you end up wanting more, or they end up wanting more; or they end up with someone, or you end up with someone that prevents the friendship from continuing because of jealousy or someother insecurities. I'm not saying that it's not possible, I'm just saying you have to be prepared for the truth. The truth is that relationshiips are valuable, but if a relationship begins to demand more than you can give, then it's not worth it. There is no reason why anyone should feel awkward in the presence of a friend or a loved one; the only solution is distance, which only leads to fading friendships. Sorry.  |

Well, yes they do, yeah, sometimes it happens, but who will say, my best friend used to be my EX, and my girl does not get jealous about it. Don.  |

Well Love Kisses, I have been in a friendship with a guy named Adam for many years... He and I have never had anything "relationship based" and just been friends. I don't know if thats awkward..lol.. But he and I just dont have the attraction to one another. He is however dating my cousin and I am engaged. So, there isnt any jealousy that I know of. And sweety I dont think it is you. You will find that perfect guy friend out there one day. I am sure of it. *huggles* Love, Amanda  |

My best friend in high school is going to be my wife next spring! It took us a while to realize what we had, but it pays off! Read some of her posts about us if you get a chance. Her AuthorID is 45095. Have a nice day!  |

I am a Christian so this is a biblical perspective. It is always better to be just friends with the opposite sex than this dating. I feel that friendship is a stronger commitment than dating is. Yes they do work, I am friends with many girls. Within the church, it really works. Our church encourages our teens to be friends first.  |

Guy/girl friendships do work and they dont need to get romanticly involved I have a number of female friends.  |

I have a lot of guy friends... I think it works out beautifully!!!! I think that I am one who draws the "barrier" lines right to start with so that there is NO confusion, and the friendships lasts that way... I love having guys for friends, and I have never ONCE crossed that line with any of them, nor them with me!!! It works..  |
