Can a guy and a girl ever be best of friends?

[iloveanthrax]

Help me out u guys, since high school I've been trying to prove a point that a guy and a girl can never be best of friends. Coz eventually one will give way (fall for the other) Just wanna hear what u guys have to say...I think what I'm really getting at is if I'm just making all the wrong choices or it's simply coincidental.

cong...

yuhooo...

hehehe

[eileen_m]

meron din ata if the girl is like one of the boys na let's say sa barkada nung guy

but if it's just between the two of them... eventually magkakadevelopan

whoa! hmmm.....that made me think.

well, there are certain levels of friendship. The closer you get to each other, the higher the level you get.

Just use na lang this "reasoning":
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parties involved in every friendship will definitely learn from each other, whether it is common interests, things they hate, etc etc.

When each of them learned from each other, the friendship itself grows.

As friendship grows, the level of closeness increases.

Now, there is a certain point when both parties have already reached the peak of their friendship ....definitely there should be a higher level than friendship itself.

Either one of the parties crosses the line or both of them agree to cross the line together and call it "relationship"

that proves that boy and girl will never be best of friends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok ba?

and by the way, i never seen such instances where boy and girl were best friends and didn't fall for the other...unless one of the parties are:

[1] taken and entirely committed.
[2] gay/lesbian.

...weLL froM my ExperienCe...Yup i geS guys and gurls can be frends.. kase i hav guy frends too,actually i hav a bestfrend who is a very straight guy,na napapagkamalan pa nga kameng mag-bf kase talagang close kame,pati nga damit namin nag-aarboran pa kame..But the POINT is..u can onLy be frends with a guy only if u know how to handle it,kase minsan di maiiwasan yung tuksuhan or sumthing pero kung talagang matibay ang frendship nyo,it would conquer the gender...kahit pa opposite sex kayo,kahit ba magtabi kayo sa kama pag Kaibigan,Kaibigan dapat..pero iF there's Love talaga then ***** The Friendship is meant to become a relationship talaga.. =)

[DisTuRBeD_KiD_]

Yup yup..... ***** nga they cud fall for each other... pero usually infatuation *** dahil close sila and feeling nila they're the only ones who understands each other...

I know sum1 na bestfriends sila... tipong lagi na silang inaasar pero la talaga... friends lang talaga... now the guy just got married... and their still best friends...

it depends lang talaga siguro......

Your "reasoning" cannot be valid for same-sex friendships can it?

In answer to the posted question, yes, I believe male-female friendships can exist. I have both male and female friends, but two of my closest friends are both females.

They can be best of enemies, too.
But then it's best the other way around.

As it meant to be in any kanto... Eugene

frenemies ba ? tipong friends na enemies hehe

[crazysay]

I think Its very possible for a guy and a girl to be bestfriends. I have a girl bestfriend. although di na kami close kasi may bf na siya now. b4, We would call each other every night and eat together with the kada. We dnt have any romantic feelings for each other. Matagal kong pinagisipan pero I realized na I love her very much pero as a bestfriend. We still txt and call each other once in a while. Di naman kami "nagkadevelopan" although we had this annoying teacher who would always ask "kayo na?" with a big smile whenever he would see us together. platonic relationships exist, minsan lang nga we sometime percieve them to be romantic when it really isn't and sometime we pretend that it is platonic when it really the other way around.

[frenchkisser]

i believe so. but it really depends on the attitude and outlook of the girl and the boy whether they really see each other as bestfriends and nothing more. anyway, my final answer is, this is possible!!! and they call it platonic friendship right?

[solace]

Yes, it's possible for a straight guy and a straight girl to be best friends. Though not all friendships like this are platonic.

[CraZyDaiSy]

for me...

friendship can be it's best with your partner...

i mean the husband and his wife...

the friendship only lasts when you don't want to lose the person and this is because you like her/him... sino ba namang makikipagkaibigan dahil ayaw nya dun sa tao, 'di ba???

so kapag mas lumalim pa *** friendship like best of friends, it only means you both like each other which may lead to more than that...

kaya 'di ako naniniwala na there's no feelings attached sa mag-bestfriends... there is, kahit di man nila aminin sa isat-isa, i just know there is...

of course.

[Ice Burn]

Yup, my barkada of 5 is all-guys. I'm the only girl and we've been best of friends for a long time. One of them is my boyfriend but he's the latecomer of the group since I just introduced him a few years back and he got along well with my barkada kaya kasama na siya sa barkada.

[whoosh]

friends, yes. best friends? i don't think so.

there's always that, uh, tension.

[sleepyhead]

ako may bestfriend na guy.. ok nga un eh, kc i also have a bestfriend na girl ****.. so i have d best of both world.. bsta parang ganon! hehehe... labo ko..

[ericgo]

well, for me it can happen pero mahirap yun..
its cause the closer you become, the bigger the chance for one of you to fall for the other..
i guess it would be easier if your best friend already has a special someone in their lives.. pero kung wala.. well i really think you'll be something more than just friends.

[souljah_01]

sa simula, okay lang... pero kapag nagkayayaan uminom, jan na magsstart!!! hehe...

[ibrowse]

teka nga... define kaya muna natin ang best friend. what exactly is a best friend? someone who could be there whereever, whenever? i guess it's just a person whom you'd be most comfortable with (aside from your kin of course). Plus, someone you could share secrets with (as in kahit deepest, darkest secrets).

By the way ang mga relationships iba-iba naman nga level yan.
form acquaintanc to friends. from friendship pwede mag-branch out. either you could stay single or you could go into a romantic relationship with that person or with another.

anyway, as for the possibility of men and women being best of friends. of course it's possible and there are a lot of cases already. Also, it doesn't matter if one falls for the other. the fact still remains that they are the best of buddies. if you don't want to accept that definition, before they decided to make their relationship a romantic one, best of friends na sila. Kaya again, is it possible? My answer is not only is it possible, but highly probable.
