“A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other... Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever” My question is... What do you think? True? False? And why?

i think its true, but not always true. i had a very good friend who liked to talk to me what seemed like every minute of every day. i thought she liked me back in like september. in december, she told me she had something to tell me but didnt know how it would affect our friendship. i knew she liked me then. and in march, she told me she did. i never thought of her as anything more than a friend. now, i know some of you will wonder why i didnt like her and i wont get into that on here. you guys probably wont appreciate my reasons anyways. so that is my explanation of why it is NOT always true. oh, and i hang out with plenty of girls and i dont have feelings for any of them. ok, maybe some of them :lol: but thats beside the point as for why it sometimes is true, everyone has to start out as friends right? its not like you walk up to some random girl and she sees you and you go and get married. ok, maybe in vegas. but you get an annul 56 hours later :P

Not true. A guy and a girl can too just be friends. Especially if they're not straight :P

I have and have had guy friends that I have not and [i]highly[/i] doubt I ever will fall for. This point of view annoys me a bit. It's capable of leading to accusations of a person of cheating on their significant other just because they're hanging out with a person of the opposite sex. It makes people make awkward jokes about "when are you two going to finally hook up" and similar things to two people who are just friends (which [i]can[/i] actually ruin a friendship). And it sometimes steers people into the wrong relationships just because it seems like they [i]should[/i] be together because they're good friends.

Hope it helps :)

I was kinda hoping for more responses before I posted my thoughts, but... Also, my thought are strictly speaking of heterosexuals, as including homosexuals into it changes things quite a bit... :P Really, it kinda depends on the person. Some people of opposite genders can be friends for their whole lives and never develop attractions for each other (even if they are at different times)... However, some people can develop attractions for evry person of the opposite sex that they become friends with... Part of it depends on how important love is to them, I would say... Now, does it make it more likely that they will develop feelings than if they weren't friends? I would have to say so... Of course, there is a lot more to attraction than simply looks... I know that my attractions tend to have less to do with looks than the personality behind them. Of course, I can't say that looks don't play a part at all, but this is a reason why I can't pin down a "type" that I am attracted to... It simply varies too much... Of course, the whole attraction thing and the assumptions of others on such can destroy excellent friendships, and that is a great tragedy... Of course, sometimes friendships can be destroyed by misunderstandings because of the belief above... So, is it true? Is it false? Yes to both, in my humble opinion.

Love can be very important to a person and yet still not lead to romantic or sexual attraction lol.

By love, in this instance, I am specifically speaking of romantic love... :P
