Being friends with a guy...

Mamasan23

I've got tons of guy friends. Real friends, not just acquaintances. One of my best friends I've known since high school, we've never hooked up. In fact, when I would visit him in college I'd sleep in his bed with him, nothing ever once happened. So it is possible. I mean, of course if there's chemistry there it's hard to do. I also think it's possible to be friends with someone you have been involved with...but usually if it was only sex and not a relationship. But, that's just me, and I'm strange

We have a saying where i come from, "You can only walk by the barbershop so many times before you stop in for a haircut" so No.

Unless you're already a sad old fuck, then what does matter.

This won't work.
He is playing the friend card to look like a decent guy.
Meanwhile, he is casually flirting +
fooling around with you,
waiting for that one beautiful
Bartle + James fuelled night where you
throw caution (+ friendship) to the wind.
Things will never be the same again...

Cheers.

Yeah...I don't see the big deal. I have always had a big group of male and female friends, espcially girls that can bullshit and talk a bit of shit.

here's my 2c psycobabble: whatever type of support, fun, emotion, whatever you both get from having either other as a "friends" (I'm assuming you have regular meetings?) fills a need in your life and when you both go onto to try and date other people you will not require that same need of the new, potential mate. I tell you this from experience and had I not lived thru it, I would say sure, why not be friends? :P

this is interesting.

are you saying you wouldn't advise it because that would mean a person would be having his or her
"all-encompassing needs" met by two people and not one....which could run into problems, obviously. right?..for all parties involved

I agree...me too. I have three very close friends that are female. It does help that Im married and they are mostly married/in relationships.

It's all about the attraction factor, especially for guys; I'm often slave to the laws of attraction despite experiences or education. I've learned to just let things ride and always be honest.
