Can Guys and Girls Be Platonic Friends?

Can guys and girls, JUST be friends?

I think this is one of those questions that will never ever really be answered. Anyone who knows me, should know how I feel about this one right here.

I’ll let you know in a hot second, that I firmly believe that it is almost as impossible as flying pigs, for a guy and a girl to be JUST friends. It’s just not fathomable to me. It’s only natural for human beings of the opposite sex to be attracted to one another.

We all know that guys are quick to pull the, “that’s the home girl” card. And then they have the audacity to wonder why that makes their gf’s feel just a tad bit uncomfortable. It’s very uncommon for a strictly platonic relationship to exist between a guy and a girl. Someone….SOMEONE…whether it be the girl or the guy, is usually going to have feelings for the other. That “close friendship” that is present, exists because there is some kind of attraction there, someone sees something in the other person that makes them want to be close to that person.

And if there IS a platonic relationship that exists between a guy and a girl, it’s usually only because one person, doesn’t like the other in the same way. Which, in itself, could lead to tension and the eventual downfall of the friendship.

Whenever I hear one of my girls tell me, “Oh, I’m not trippin, that’s just his girl best friend”…that sets off a red alert in my head. I can respect the trust that is there, but all I can say is, “stay alert” because it wouldn’t take much for the scales of that friendship to tip, and the next thing you know, they’re more than just “best friends”…and they’re sneaking around behind your back.

Ideally, besides his girlfriend, a guy should only have guy best friends, to make life a whole lot more peaceful.

Now, if you’re dealing with a downlow brotha that swings both ways…I don’t know what to tell ya….you on your own on that one lol, but that’s a WHOLE nother story.
