Yes. Haven't you ever heard of the FRIEND ZONE? Not that I have experienced the friend zone from either gender, but the internet would not lie to me!

I'd hope so, given that you already have a girlfriend. Wink

It depends. If you're an atheist, you see women as the ones who didn't develop testes, they are matter of study; if you're an agnostic, you doubt until you see evidence there's nothing behind those pants; if you're catholic priest, women are your impossible dream, psychosis may take hold of you; if you're muslim, they are your servants; if you're an avant-garde prog fan, they're fiction, their existence less relevant than that of the harshest dissonance. 
 
They can be friends if there's no attraction whatsoever. With any hint of attraction, even though a friendship-like relationship can be mantained, it will never, never be like a true 100% interest-free friendship.
 
I guess...  I have a girlfriend but not too many girl-friends.... Tongue

Nah... that describes most of their friendships towards me... girls tend to love me, always as a friend...

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

In re: to Finn's avatar:  That scene in Battlestar where Kara and Adama Jr. were boxing each other, was a rather unfortunate scene for the show, but it also was somewhat instrumental in showing Kara's ability to stand toe to toe with the big dogs.  And they couldn't just be friends.

Frankly, any adult relationship has some degree of sexuality to it. Sexuality comes in all sorts of shapes, colors, and intensity. And it certainly doesn't mean any of it goes anywhere near physical contact.
 
Dawkins and Mike being a perfect example...Tongue

Tiger Woods was able to have a female friend who was only a friend.  Oh wait, nope, breaking news, he was having an affair with her too.

Most of my friends are women come to think of it. The one's I actually consider "friends" anyway, rather than the ones I just acquaint with. Don't get me wrong, I've got my boys to have a good old laugh with and to do what us guys do best with (i.e. getting horrifically drunk, pulling, partying, doing dumb sh*t for the pure fun of it), but I find I can talk to women about sensitive stuff moreso. And I have a lotta sensitive stuff to talk about so you do the math. I voted for the first option.

I had to vote "Yes". I have few female friends and some of them even look quite nice (not realy my taste but that's something few drinks can solve) and still I feel no need to have sex with them. It is true that most of them are married but I don't think you can blame my high moral for not even trying.
The only fair question is am I afraid to get a NO answer ?

I would imagine that they are acquaintances rather than friends.
Well, that's true for the most part, but I'd say there's three or four friends in the group, one of them a really good one. And a few others outside of school. Then there was that one female friend who decided to mess up our friendship and as a result we've been sharing a flat for three years Tongue

Nah... been friends is what we make until we have a chance to share some intimacy... yes, I have a lot of friends, but I don't doubt it could be little more if there's a chance... so, Not chance at hell for me...
