I think you can be friends, no problem, but there could sometimes be an underlying feeling to it. I always find it hard to explain what I mean here, lol.
For example, I have friends, that I totally would if the situation ever arose, but because were friends, it doesnt and thats fine. The only time it ever can be a problem is if one party started to develop feelings for the other. You can tell someone that youre not interested but because you're around them and spend time with them as friends, they take that interest as more and start to push things. At that point maybe its time to back away from the friendship a little.
If you aren't physically attracted to the person, then I think it's possible to just be friends. However, typically if there is something physical at first, then an emotional attraction usually follows. You'll always be thinking in the back of your mind, "Well they are pretty cute. I wonder what would happen if we went on just 1 date?"
Before you know it, your full on dating.
And now, here it is...your moment of Carlin (12/3/2008)
Violent American movies like Die Hard, Terminator, and Lethal Weapon do very well in places like Canada, Japan, and Europe. Very well. Yet these countries do not have nearly the violence of the United States. In 1989, in all of Japan, with a population of 150 million, there were 754 murders. In New York City that year, with a population of only 7.5 million, there were 2,300. It's bred in the bone. Movies and television don't make you violent; all they do is channel the violence more creatively.
I too have more female friends than male. I think it's much easier to have a strong, supportive friendship with the opposite sex than with the same sex, but easier to be "buddies" with the same sex. As for when they're really hot, I have had a few occassions of wondering what the hell was wrong with me for not being strongly attracted to a really amazing girl. But sometimes I guess the magic just isn't there, and friendship takes precedence.
But usually I do end up wanting to...y'know...bone the hell out of them. I'm classy like that.
Theres this guy, who I was friends with at school, but we did have a little fling. Over the years weve drifted in and out of touch, until recently we got back in touch again. He's maintained that hes always had a thing for me, even while we didnt see each other for years while my feelings for him died a long time ago and I now just want to be friends.
I went to see him the other night, and it was really nice to spend tme with him again, and he asked about there being anything more between us. I said no, he said okay, and I thought great, a new friend!
Wrong, he wont stop pushing it. Every single day he asks me for more, and its slowly started to drive me crazy. Up until the point where my friend Emma rang him and told him to stayaway. I felt awful doing that, cause I really did care for him as a friend and wished we could have stayed that way, but I dont think he could have handled it going by the pyscho behaviour.
Lesson to you all - i you do feel more for a friend, contain it or the friendship is doomed.
