| | Can guys and girls ever maintain a "platonic" relationship? is it ever possible for a guy and a girl to become the closest of friends, and never want to take it further?
to some the answer is yes...the large majority of these people being women, who feel that yes, they can keep emotions out of a "platonic" relationship and it is possible that once you've bulldozed your way through the initial "you could be an option" phase and plunged headlong into the depths of "friendship", the specter of potential passion is left far behind, forgotten and unwanted. true?
where is the emotional boundary that separates friend from lover anyway? are these places in our hearts so far apart that it cannot be bridged? i dont really think so...i can't articulate it, but as much as i like to tell myself that friends are friends and are off limits, somehow i instinctively feel that the two aren't so different after all...we seek the same basic things in friends and lovers: companionship. now before we all blow our tops screaming "Of COURSE they're different!!! we dont look for the same things in our relationships with lovers and 'just friends'!!!" Think about it, we all look for companionship in our relationships with members of the opposite sex, just differing levels of the same... wiht our lover we look for the maximum level of companionship, with other people we look for lesser levels of it. they're not that different!
Then theres what some of us think (mostly guys i feel), that it is simply impossible for two members of the opposite sex to get so close to each other and not want to sleep together! simply put, our primal instincts would never allow such emotional attachment without an infusion of sexual attraction! its basic human/animal instinct! (dont give me any nonsense about us trancending human nature, because its in us all!)
Circumstances have alot to do with whether best guy/girl friends will want to get together too... all of that hogwash on top aside, lets just say that when you have a guy and girl who both have their own significant others, things just arent likely happen...probably because they already have what they would otherwise want from each other in their partners...but given the situation where they're both alone, looking around, begging, pleading...haha sparks can fly...i wont say they will, but watch out! cos thing could definitely happen! its just too easy fall for your best friend, especially when shes hot and oh so nice to you...:)
