Most of my close friends at college are guys, I’m a girl. Nothing weird has ever come of it, we didn’t choose friends based on gender

Yes I have a few long term female friends where there is no sense it will get sexual. But also two long term female friends have become fwbs.

Of course, but I feel weird sometimes when I start having slight feelings towards my friends because of that kind of stuff, like I have plenty of friends I have no attraction to but in the back of my mind I feel like I’m becoming that guy who can’t be just friends (even though I know that’s very much not true)

It has to be the guys choice for it to stay platonic or a situation where there would be social consequences if it veered from the friendship

Yes, but being too close is forbidden in the book of romance 😂

Yes. I may be an anomaly but as a lesbian woman my best friend is my first bf ever that lasted like 3 months- we ended up going to college at the same place and we’ve been best friends since

In my experience, extremely rarely and never best friends. For almost two decades every single guy friend I’ve ever had has confessed his feelings or faded away, with this year being the only exception and even then only with guys that I have to actively keep at a distance. I’ve noticed that guys specifically struggle to have girls as just friends much more frequently than women do to men.

Yea but there’s usually tension especially if you get along really well. Has always happened to me and the women I’ve been close friends with. Ended up doing things with 2 of them as well at one point… still kept talking to them and hanging out tho 😊

No, girls will always want that D. It will causes issues. They might not show it but they secretly want it.

Hide what better? If you’re a mature person then you’ll be able to befriend people of the sex you’re attracted to without viewing them as a sex object

Alright.. again a mature person would be able to see the sex they’re attracted to as more than just options for dating/sex, I have plenty of male and female friends who I just see as friends and nothing more

The majority of single men would sleep with most women they found attractive if given the opportunity. I’d bet good money that if you sent your guy friends a text asking them to come hook up, that at least one of them would say yes

So, I know these people better than you do. I guarantee that they would block me and be wildly uncomfortable if I did that, so I am not going to do that to people I consider family.
