Just friends
I propose a question that dates back before When Harry Met Sally , can guys and girls be "just friends?" It is a simple enough question, and I'm not sure there is a straight forward answer.
I have this theory (here she goes again with her theories). I think that they can be just friends, but I don't think it starts that way. One person will, inevitably, have feelings for the other. This is something that may not be mutual, but yet must be dealt with if this friendly relationship is to exist. Friendships with the opposite sex are different, whether you mean them to be or not. The hardest part is remaining friends when they start dating someone, something has got to change and usually the friendship suffers. Wait, I said that I thought they COULD be friends...

Difficult to say...depends on the nature of the relationship and depends on the individuals involved. I have had a good relationship with a boy for about eight or nine years now. We went through the whole "I like you but you don't like me thing," but one night over a game of pool we talked about it, realized we weren't right for each other and moved on from there.
However, I have to say that 9 times out of 10, boy-girl friendships that actually move beyond being mere acquaitanceships to something deeper and more intimate end up not lasting because of feelings, sexual tension, or jealousy. But I'm always the type to try and prove the theory that boys and girls can't be just friends is wrong!
I've had it happen, but these instances are few and far between.
