In my opinion, it doesn't have to be romantic but if it were a good looking female propositioning the male for sex I believe that many younger men would be hardpressed to say no. So, no I don't think that it's truly possible.

It's possible, depending on how long the've known one another, and attractivness of the friend, and other factors.
I've actually had a rather polite, pretty young thing bend over infront of me in one of my classes, to pick something up, of course, but now the very concept of friendship seems like an awkward impossibility.JaredXE said:
No, I don't think so- not forever.
I mean, I got really close with one of my friends from middle school during high school, then we became pretty much best friends around graduation and college. Then one night when we were both single and complaining about some bad break ups and a lack of sex.... well, you can guess how that night ended.
Don't think theres anything wrong about it. If anything, people wonder if they can 'just be friends' after you sleep with someone. And the answer is yes and no. You'll never be "just" friends ever again- you've been lovers. But you can still have a friendship and never sleep with each other again. But it just seems like its inevitable with close friends at some point down the road if they're friends for years and years

No,
because i find it hard to belive that at least one party have never even had a though of it

Short Answer: No. Absolutely not. If a man and woman like each other enough to be very, very good friends, neither one is extremely unattractive (both people are straight) and they spend a lot of time together, it is inevitable one person will develop feelings for one another.Kortney said:
I have lady friends I don't like in that way, but I really don't know them all that well.
I'd say no, it's not possible to have a friend that close of the opposite sex and never entertain any thoughts of an attraction/relationship. However, I'm not saying that close friendships like that can't work; it's very possible that the feelings are only temporary, more of a passing thought than anything else.
Yes, but very rarely. If you have a very close friendship, chances are that one of you is going to feel more towards the other. That doesn't mean that the person in question will act on their feelings, however, as that could jeopardize the friendship.
On the plus side, if you pass the friend zone test (not always an easy task), then she's pretty much into you from the first five minutes on, barring any stupid mistakes on the part of the guy... Or any one of a thousand other things that can happen later, but I'm talking about initial impressions/scoring that first date.JaredXE said:
I would say no, even if there were a slight urge it would count. A man is hard wired visually speaking, so unless she is ugly it is impossible to completely remove all feelings. That is not to say it is impossible, it might just be hard for that one moment.
Yes all of my close friends are male; no there is no attraction on either side and they all like women. It's a really simple thing I don't know why every one has to over think this.
Well, theres no way to tell for sure. I'd say out of the girls i've had a close friendship with, most I have at some point had feelings for. For the ones i haven't, theres a chance they have for me.
If you think they can, chances are that a lot of these "platonic" friendships you've had have only been that way to you. Of course the other person is going to deny any feelings if they don't think you like them, to avoid awkwardness.
