Friendship between men and women? I'm 33 and so far, it was never possible for me to have that kind of friendship. Each time I was friend with a guy, it turned out the guy developped feelings for me or he had to make littles comments about my body. Since last year, i became friend with a guy and to my suprise, he is just friendly so far. Never made any comments or suggesting something more than friendship. It is our mutual love for rock music that bring us closer and I'm glad I found someone as passionate as me to go to music shows and festivals. That's it for me. Don't feel any romantic attraction to this guy.

I used to have loads of guy friends, I found it much easier to get on with guys than I did women.
I have sadly lost the majority of them due to other women. One friend’s fiancée wasn’t happy with us talking, I didn’t know this. He kept it from me and told her he had cut me out of his life. When she seen messages on his phone she freaked out and kicked him out. They are now back together but I’m blocked everywhere. The friendship was truly platonic, there was definitely no flirting on either end.
My other close friend backed off once he had got married. His wife said she didn’t feel it was right that her husband would spend time with another female. I’m married too and she’s met my husband plenty of times.

I’ve had a lot of male friendships, I think it’s possible for two people of the opposite sex to be friends and not have any attraction to each other. I think with my friends, I made it clear from the get go that it was a friendship. I also found that they liked having me around to have a female perspective.

Yep my best friend is male. Nothing has ever happened between us and never will. Just friends.
