Can a woman and a man be friends?

[Евгеня]

I think, that this problem may divide on two parts. 1. one of friends want a sex, but it is not friendship. this person want be lover. 2. boy-gey-always faithful friend for a woman.
if a man and a woman nothing feel to each other, relation can became  from friendship to love.

relation can became  from friendship to love.

I agree. Do you have a friend who loves you?

[Евгеня]

Yes, he is my husband now. but we were friends only two month.

[Milika]

Евгеня, do you think that it's possible for a woman to have a man as a friend only when he is her husband?

[asil]

I'd like to think that this is possible though my personal experience proves the opposite. Unfortunately.

[Milika]

I think it's impossible...

[Maya S]

It's rather hard to answer, but probably it's really impossible. I have a friend of the opposite, he is only a friend for me, he says the same but I know that he thinks another, he waits for something and I feel it. He is a good, real friend, but he wants more. In my opinion love and friendship are very close to each other. Friendship between man and woman is a kind of strong feeling when love is impossible.

[Milika]

Maya S, how do you know that he wants more? Can you explain it?

[Arksi]

I think it's wonderful when  a man and a woman  are friends.

[Maya S]

Milika, I see it. It's easy... He also told once about it... That's why it's so obvious. When you see this person every day, communicate with him, it's easy to understand what he does want. I think, you'll understand)

It seems that it was Checkov who once said that a man a woman can be friends only as ex-lovers. Looks (and sounds) like true to me.

[Lesechka]

I believe that man and woman can be friends. It is really grate to have someone an opposite sex whom you could trust and rely on. But the problem is that it is hard to find such  person.

[Galexa]

Of course, they can!!

[KishMishsh]

Lesechka and Galexa, do you personally have friends of the opposite sex?

[Malena]

I think that beautiful women will never have friends at all... The men will always dream about her and the women will hate and envy her.
The beauty  prevents the friendship.

[Galexa]

KishMishsh,
Sometimes I think that I have more male than female friends.
