Poor guys probably posting in another forum about the horrors of 'the friend zone.'

Well, when you phrase it like that, I would say no. At some point, one party will feel that way, even if only for a short time and if it never comes to light.Kortney said:Note: I am not asking if males and females are capable of having a friendship.

No, its because your in SCHOOL.Giantcain said:yes but in my school even talking to a girl you are remote friends with apparently means you go out but that's probably because most girls in my school are just plain mean apparently don't have more than 5 braincells when it comes to the prospect of not going out with someone cause to them to even talk to a girl you know means you go out with them its really annoying when you are trying to get through any sort of examination and you've got people asking you if you go out with so and so and then only hearing yes no matter what you say.
One of my best friends is a girl, having her been one of the only people who stuck by my side when my life turned to shit this year.Kortney said:This may seem like a silly question, but I want you to really think about it.

Remember, I am talking about close personal friends here, the ones you share everything in your life with, not just acquaintances or even good friends.
The reason I am asking this is that my closest friend just told me he had feelings for me. This has completely thrown the dynamics off and it is nothing short of awkward now. It got me thinking and I have never seen a close friendship between a male and a female where at least at one stage, feelings weren't involved.
That's what I think too.jwien001 said:Well, when you phrase it like that, I would say no.

It is indeed possible.But it is not very common.Seeing as how most guys have no control over their sexual needs.Or so it would seem.Kortney said:I am not asking if males and females are capable of having a friendship.
