Can a Boy and a Girl be just bestfriends? JUST BESTFRIENDS?! Do you have any experiences like this or something like this?

Here's an example:

Yes, yes they can. Pretty sure my male best friend and I aren't having a shoujo romantic relationship.

If anyone of them is remotely hot/cute and they don't make a move on each other, either they are gay or one of them got friendzoned.

Yeah it's possible, but just highly unlikely, especially if they're both attractive, were just wired to want to fuck/mate. There's always one of them that ends up wanting more, okay, most of the time that is, happy now? Fuck off.

I used to have a female friend. Actually, she was my best friend at the time. We were friends until she got into heroin and completely changed.

But the friendship between us worked. If you ask me, I think it worked because we were friends since second grade. If a guy and girl meet as adults, or even as teens, sex is already on the mind. It's way different when a sexually aware male and female meet then when a boy and girl meet in 2nd grade. I believe since we had a friendship that existed before we could view the world sexually it allowed our friendship to survive the sexual awakening of puberty.

It would be much harder to meet a female now and be just friends. I guess it could work if the girl was either gay or I don't find her attractive. Aside from this, perhaps the only way it could work would be if one person wasn't looking for a relationship and the other was adamantly opposed to hooking up. idk.

In high school my best friend was female. We hung out all the time as just best friends. Then after like 2 years, I slept with her.

Doesn't change the fact that we were just best friends for 2 years. So it's definitely possible.

of course! I mean why not? gender differences doesn't actually say something in terms of friendship. I think its better to have a number of friends of the opposite sex, there may be things that only they can understand or relate to

The thing is, lots of guys not only want cute girlfriends, they want attractive female friends too. (looks shouldn't matter, but that's the world we live in) So i doubt most would want to be "friends" with an ugly chick. I said MOST.

Okay, I get the whole girl being gay argument, and that makes sense, but it's also obvious. You'd have no choice but to just be her friend at that point, cause you know there's no hope for you getting anything out of it. (aka sex)
But at that point (from my observations and experiences) most guys would have no reason to even want to be her best friend, let alone put effort into being her friend, if they aren't gonna be able to pound that. She'll just be "that lesbian friend" not that friend. Not all guys obviously, some might still want to pursue a friend ship with her, who knows.

That last part you said about " as long as one person was strongly opposed to hooking up" was complete bull shit, friend zone, uh, ever heard of it? 90% of the guys i know will be like "errrrrrr stop, red light, i don't want anything to do with this bitch now, i'm not getting anything out of it, so fuck her for wasting my time."
^^ This one doesn't work the other way around cause we all know that when a girl gets friend zoned, it's cause the guy doesn't want anything to do with that body, sad but true. Obviously (if you say so) there's other reasons why a guy might friend zone a girl, so don't lecture me.

Oh' and congrats for having a best female child hood friend like in anime, wish i had one.


Well, the reason I mention people who are "opposed to hooking up" is because it relates to my situation. Basically, in the past 2 years, I dated a bunch. Dated 9 different females, kinda just went from relationship to relationship. Half of those relationships sucked, constant fighting, I've been cheated on, lying, etc. So at this point I am totally not looking for a relationship. I also was never super fond of one night stands and always preferred sex in a relationship. I have had hook ups, and am not opposed to ti, but it's something I don't do much. So like, if I met a girl with similar interests and stuff, and she is opposed to hooking up, then why wouldn't I be just friends with her?

For a while, my best friend was a guy. Everyone was like "they are totally into each other", but in fact we had nothing like that going on. We also shared the same interests and he invited me to play videogames with him.
Those were the days.

Between the correct individuals, sure it's possible. You can't help who you fall in love with, but at the same time there are people who don't actively strive for that kind of relationship. So even if feelings are developed (like a crush), it doesn't necessarily mean that the friendship will end between the two when it's brought up and possible rejection is at stake. Maybe it feels comfortable to generalize that guys want to get into the pants of people who treat them nicely, but I'd like to think that it's a very individual case.

Oh, you were born in 2001, damn now i feel old. This will answer your question.

Girls do this to guys, and sometimes have no idea what they just did, and sometimes, if they're evil, they know what they just did.

The one phrase NO MAN wants to hear from a girl " Oh' you like me? I don't see you like that, you're more than just a friend to me, you're like a brother to me." Or something similar to that.

#9 is my favorite.

Don't associate yourself with the opposite sex when choosing a best friend.

I feel like it doesn't matter. If deeper feelings occur, it's no harm in it. There is a higher chance for it. But sure, you can 'just' stay friends.

it depends on the circumstances and the people.

I had a very good male friend, and I even considered him my best friend for a time, we've known each other for 6 years when, shortly after we graduated high school, he told me that it's best we just stop being friends.
That was more than a year ago and I still don't quite understand what was his problem. Well, reading old chat logs and asking our old friends around, I think I get it.
I may be a terrible person for not noticing anything and what's worse, hurting someone who was dear to me. One sided love is really the worst. It's not good to force yourself to love someone yet neglecting your friend's feelings is equally terrible.
So, from personal experience, I think it's not possible.
