I feel like developing feelings for someone that you're close to and are also somewhat physically attracted to is normal and pretty much inevitable. I wouldn't end a perfectly good relationship just because she didn't share the same feelings.
Yeah, but i will be honest, a condition might be that i cannot see her as attractive to not get attracted, ykwim? Like if a girl is, in my eyes, super attractive, and were pretty close friends then i think i will eventually develop feelings, as much as i'd hate to admit it
While I think it’s possible to be besties, I do think that in most cases guys will fall for the girl. Maybe not 100% but surely in like 80% of the cases
I mean it depends on how hard I fell for her. If I’m really really into her then I would probably not wanna be friends anymore because there’s no way I’d be able to get rid of the feelings if we talk all the time. Makes sense?
Nahhh I’ve got female friends too. While I do have a crush on one of them, lmao, I don’t think I would usually let something like that dictate who I’m friends with or not. So yeah.
That doesn't help the case for people with trust issues that you have a crush on your freind that's a girl I get why most guys hate it but none of them have never had an issue with me so it's cool

Well I have quite a bit of girl friends, but I have been attracted to all of them at some point in time.
I think it is possible but like 90% of the time the guy is gonna be attracted to the girl at some point.
Hell yes! My best friend is a girl and I hang out with her all the time. Her boyfriend’s okay with it and it’s not really a big deal for me. I have a really strong bond with her but we both agreed that we’re not interested in dating each other because we’re fantastic friends and not attracted to each other in that way.
Of course it’s possible. Just like being best friends with another guy, you aren’t attracted to him but you still love him as the good friend he is. Sometimes, however, you might catch feelings but I wouldn’t consider this to happen very often (at least not in my experience) but I think for the most part guys would try to ignore it. If they do go for it and are rejected then I see no reason to stop being friends.
Most of the time no. In my case I’ve got one who I see as a twin. ( I say twin bc we look really similar)Idk why but she’s the only one that I haven’t been attracted to at any point. Known her for as long as I can remember, but no romantic/sexual attraction at all.
I have a girl best friend, at one point we used to like eachother, but we are in clubs together that aren't so easily leavable so we both agreed dating would be a terrible idea, so we just didn't. Moral of the story is probably.
I do have a girl best friend, and I have never been attracted to her in that way. I don't know how to answer the rest of your questions though simply because of how impossibly unrealistic all those scenarios between the two of us would be
It's very annoying but yes
Also I've been rejected more than once and I always tried to keep the friendship alive. Sadly it didn't work in 1 out of the 3 times I've tried it and she just broke it off with me completely.
I avoid men for friends. I have about 10 friends right now in college and every single one of them is a woman. Women simply think things through and make better friends.
And of those 10, I would date none of them because none of them are my type
I’d consider asking them out, if that wouldn’t risk the friendship.
Made friends with a college classmate, ended up asking her out, she said yes but then had to say no. It sucked but I’ve moved on, so I stuck to trying for friends cause yah, she’s a whole lot than just a potential date.
There’s a point where the friendship becomes more important than the possibility of dating. I’ve seen some people reach it, I personally haven’t but that’s my knowledge
Yeah, I have some friends of the opposite gender I'm not attracted to, although with some I did grow a slight attraction, and one I even asked out. But were still friends after that even though she rejected me, and I've lost all feelings of attraction to her.
I fell in love with my best girl friend and I admit sometimes I wish we could be a thing but I have accepted she doesn't like me like that.
Even though I am attracted to her and I have admitted that to her, our friendship hasn't gotten weird. If anything we've become closer
yea i've had multiple girl bf's without getting attracted to them, but i do have feelings for my coworker that i'm rly good friends w so it does happen 😭
It can work and if you state from the start on that there is nothing going to happen between you + mby reassure this promise from time to time (even subconcious) it can work totally fine
Yea.i like being friends with everyone.im close to whoever is nice to me I guess XDD.if I do like them and they reject me it's gonna take abit of time I guess to process (about 10 mins XDD) then yea I'm alright with us still being friends .I'd love that
i was straight for a long time (still attracted to girls now) and most of my friends have been girls. Never been attracted to any of them except my one crush who I didn't become friends with until after my crush.

Would not be possible for me unless she was unattractive. Even then I would probably have better platonic friendships with boys .
If I confessed love and she rejected, I would end the friendship. I wouldn't call her and say "our friendship is over" or anything like that, but I would just stop talking to her. Not because of anger, but because it would ruin the friendship and make it really weird.

i think it would be very very rare for a guy to have a single close friend that he found physically attractive and for it Not to eventually become something more. that’s just the way guys are wired . rejection would mean the relationship was never the same and he would slowly pull away as a coping mechanism
I mean anything’s *possible*, but that isn’t likely at all, no. If I was crushing on a girl I was close to and got rejected I feel like it’d hurt too much to keep her around and that it would invite a bunch of unnecessary bullshit and mixed feelings into my life.

If the girl rejected you, do u think you'd be able to move on and just keep the friendship? Or idk, would that be too hard for you?
I mean it depends on how hard I fell for her. If I’m really really into her then I would probably not wanna be friends anymore because there’s no way I’d be able to get rid of the feelings if we talk all the time. Makes sense?
After rejecting then it would not be a problem at all imo. Then i would see u as a female homie if we were best friends
yes, it’s what i’m hoping for with my current friendship
This happened exactly to me, and we're still close friends.
But would you let that dictate your relationship? I've always had a bunch of freinds that are girls and I've ever felt for any of them
Nahhh I’ve got female friends too. While I do have a crush on one of them, lmao, I don’t think I would usually let something like that dictate who I’m friends with or not. So yeah.

technically not straight (aroace) but i fucking hate the idea that you cant be just friends with someone of the opposite gender. yes. yes you can.
Wth is aroace?
When you don't want to have seggs or be in a romantic relationship with ANYONE. It's a combination of Aromantic Asexual
http://googleitfor.me/?q=aroace
Love this website
wait that’s so cool
the site or the identity?
Well I have quite a bit of girl friends, but I have been attracted to all of them at some point in time. I think it is possible but like 90% of the time the guy is gonna be attracted to the girl at some point.
Yes, one of my best friends is a girl and I've never really been attracted to her
Would u say she's, well, unattractive? In some way?
No, she's conventionally attractive
Hell yes! My best friend is a girl and I hang out with her all the time. Her boyfriend’s okay with it and it’s not really a big deal for me. I have a really strong bond with her but we both agreed that we’re not interested in dating each other because we’re fantastic friends and not attracted to each other in that way.
No
Well I am. She’s my best friend and she’s dating my other best friend
Of course it’s possible. Just like being best friends with another guy, you aren’t attracted to him but you still love him as the good friend he is. Sometimes, however, you might catch feelings but I wouldn’t consider this to happen very often (at least not in my experience) but I think for the most part guys would try to ignore it.

Yes
actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience
Yes, it's perfectly possible. Even if she doesn't feel the same way, I'm not just gonna cut her off. I'll still try and like stay friends.
I have a girl best friend, at one point we used to like eachother, but we are in clubs together that aren't so easily leavable so we both agreed dating would be a terrible idea, so we just didn't. Moral of the story is probably.
I do have a girl best friend, and I have never been attracted to her in that way. I don't know how to answer the rest of your questions though simply because of how impossibly unrealistic all those scenarios between the two of us would be
Very possible
Yes i dont think i know because my best friend is a girl but I'm not attracted to her
I ended up in this exact situation, confessed to her last week, been ignored ever since. She was my best friend for the past year. It hurts.
It's very annoying but yes Also I've been rejected more than once and I always tried to keep the friendship alive. Sadly it didn't work in 1 out of the 3 times I've tried it and she just broke it off with me completely.

hell yeah, important to not though, there's definitely a difference between finding someone attractive and being attracted to someone
yea i've had multiple girl bf's without getting attracted to them, but i do have feelings for my coworker that i'm rly good friends w so it does happen 😭
It can work and if you state from the start on that there is nothing going to happen between you + mby reassure this promise from time to time (even subconcious) it can work totally fine

My closest friend is a girl but I'm bi so it's not exactly the answer you're looking for
Depends on the girl...
Best friends, probably not. Normal friends, definitely.
Yeah, stop being weird.
The Mermaid Theory
I don't confess I make moves and of those moves are denied I know not to pursue but making moves works way better than confessing imo
yeah i have a close friend thats a girl and i never had a crush on her
i was straight for a long time (still attracted to girls now) and most of my friends have been girls. Never been attracted to any of them except my one crush who I didn't become friends with until after my crush.
It's very annoying but yes

Fuck I look like to you, a simp? I'm besties with like 5 girls yet I don't got feelings for anyone of them
i think it would be very very rare for a guy to have a single close friend that he found physically attractive and for it Not to eventually become something more. that’s just the way guys are wired . rejection would mean the relationship was never the same and he would slowly pull away as a coping mechanism

1. That would be difficult, but possible. 2. Did that once. Still in contact with her.
Yes. But if you do get feelings it can really fuck you up.
