Can we really be friends?

       
         I recently had a conversation with two of my friends on whether or not a guy and girl could genuinely be friends without feelings surfacing. Now I'm sure you all might say the same thing. Of Course!.... right?  Well....I believe that it can be done. It just depends on a few things: how the friendship started, what type of friendship you have, and whether or not you have a history with one another (in terms of relationship). What I mean by how the friendship started is this: "How did you become friends; was it through elementary school. were they a family friend or what?...I ask because people tend to have this "friends with attachments" type of friendship nowadays... But hey,whatever floats your boat...A lot times a guy and girl can't have a friendship simply because of one thing: infatuation!  People make it seem like you can't be friends with an attractive individual. I mean let me be honest for a minute though; I have some very attractive female friends...I see a lot of great qualities in them but I don't want anything to conflict with our friendship because I've made that mistake once and its not a pretty site once all falls down...But enough with the sob story..Bottom line, if you can't handle being friends with someone attractive then how are you going to function in the workplace when it's strictly business? I get a lot of compliments from my lady friends for being an an attractive young man, and I humbly appreciate it but I don't take that and turn it into something else...

Personally, I would love to have more lady friends in the near future but most importantly I'm looking for positive people who can help build me up. Don't get me wrong, Friendship is essential to building any healthy relationship. Self Control is also important... You have to be willing to contain yourself and love people as human beings in order to have wellness in life and friendships.(I really sound like my Team Sports instructor Smh HATED that class) but I digress. I was always taught that you can learn from a baby. So imagine how much more you could learn from the opposite sex.???
