Do you think it's possible to be really good friends with a girl (if you're a guy) or vice versa without wanting more out of it?
You do? Ok, well what if this person is sexy as hell with an awesome personality?
I would have never thought I'd be capable of being content with my situation with one particular girl but it's true. I don't want anything else out of it. For some reason I just love hanging out with her and don't want to ruin it by making shit difficult.

Re: Friends with the opposite sex
I've always found it easier to make "friends" with women and, probably if I had to list the ten people outside my family I'm closest to, half of them would be women.
Obviously now I can't go around getting to know women really, but few that I've known for many years seem allowed!!! (since I knew them long before Mrs TD)
In rare situations, I can become friends with a girl, and maintain an entirely non-sexual relationship. Usually though that's with co-workers, or co-workers wife's though. I find it very hard to do with a girl around my age.
Do I think it's possible? Sure, but I don't think it's healthy if you're involved in a relationship... At some point in time, I would imagine you are going to find things in the friend you like that your spouse / GF doesn't have, and when things are rough at home, you're in a arguement, or whatever... there is bound to be a higher chance of something more than friendship occuring...
I don't know.. Like I said, I have many other girls that are just friends but they are usually like dating someone I know or I'm not attracted to them or maybe we've had a little something in the past but not too serious..
With this one girl, our friendship is so good that I can never see myself wanting to put that in jeopardy just because I think she's hot..
I get along better with guys than girls because secretly I am one
It's totally possible to be friends with someone of the opposite sex...and if you're happy with the person you're with, you won't be thinking about boning your mate. Well...unless...you know...we're talking massive.
Most of my closest friends have been women. I think that it could cause problems, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be from me, and not necessarily even from Emma. I'm pretty sure that if I was friends with a girl, our friends and family would start talking about it, and that's what worries me. I know that I'm secure enough with Emma to not think of other people that way, but I'm sure I'd be judged harshly for it.

I have no issues be friends with the opposite sex, 80% of my friends are girls
And I don't think, you see the places inside me that I find you,
And I don't know, how we separate the lies here from the truth,
And I don't know, how we woke up one day somehow thought we knew,
Exactly what we're supposed to do.
So leave me, at the Roadside,
And hang me, up and out to dry,
There is really no problem with it. I love girls, and think they are a lot easier to get along with then guys. The only really good guy friends I have are the ones I grew up with. I don't really meet any guys anymore and become good friends. Girls, all the time. But it is tricky, and if one is really hot, it can be REALLY tricky. I think it can be done, but just be careful.
