Ballerific Relationships - Can Two People From The Opposite Sex Be Just Friends
One of the all-time debated questions regarding relationships is “can two people of the opposite sex be friends?” Yes, they can honestly just be friends. However, a person’s relationship with their friend of the opposite sex can affect their relationship with their lover. How? Let’s look at a couple of ways.The Way You Became Friends
When meeting your friend that’s of the opposite sex, an area of concern for your partner is the way you two became friends. If your story is as simple as “you went to the same high school” or you “grew up in the same neighborhood”, the question of how you became friends may never be brought up. However, your partner may raise an eyebrow at you ending up in the “friend zone” after failed attempts at courting your friend. Things can get even more complex if your friend is an “ex”. At this point, you will have to strengthen the trust your partner has in you. You have them make them feel confident that you no longer have romantic feelings for your friend and that the nature of your relationship is altruistic.
What Do You Do As Friends
The quickest way to make your partner jealous and/or hate you is by doing things with your friend that you don’t do with your partner. When someone loves you, they want you to be happy and want to be the source of your happiness. Nothing makes them feel worse than when you have to go elsewhere to fulfill a want or satisfy a need. More importantly, nothing raises a red flag more than spending a significant amount of time with someone of the opposite sex. Furthermore, the activities you participate in can also raise red flags. What you want to do is include your partner in those activities you and your friend participate in. When your partner is not around or unavailable, let them know of your whereabouts when spending time with your friend. Also avoid doing any activities that may resemble a date. By doing this, you will increase the comfort level that your partner has in the relationship between you and your friend.

I think they can. I agree it all depends on how you became friends. If he was your man for years and you break up but decide lets me friends I doubt that will work out. If you met a guy and hung out a few times and realized you were not attracted for whatever reason, but he is a good friend I think that can be OK.

My boyfriend and I use to have this discussion (arguement) alot when we first started dating. I was of the mind set that males and females can be friends and he didnt agree. He believe that if given the chance most men will try to sleep with their female "friend". We came to the conclusion that any friends of the opposite sex that we had before we got together was cool but no making new friends.
I believe that women can be just friends with males but for the most part males can't be just friends with females. As much as I hate it, and after discussing with multple males i have to agree with my bf that unless you have a long term friendship (yrs) then a friends of opposite sex don't work well in relationships.

I have 4 guy friends that i have been best friends since 6th grade. We are like brothers and sister, all of our families were brought together because of us, and we really think of each other as siblings. I did date one of them, but when we met we started out dating in like the 7th grade, he was always a mess over me, but i really didn't pay it attention until we got older, long story short, it didn't work out for the 4 months we dated, it was strange like basically dating my brother and we decided not to anymore. Everything is fine though, and we are still best friends. We just dont call each other siblings for obvious reasons. but we area able to still be best friends, the others i never looked at that way, and see me as "one of the boys" with a pair of tits.
