I think it is completely feasible for men and women to be just friends and nothing more. I am not going to lie and say that I don't think a certain amount of sexual tension is sometimes unavoidable....if one or both of the pair is attractive it would be impossible for the other not to notice. Plus, you tend to be more attracted to people who you genuinely like and care for, so that ups the anty even more. BUT.....that being said, I don't think that necessarily has to ruin things. If both of the friends are involved elsewhere, it is especially easy.
I've gotta say, my husband in particular has a really hard time with this. He doesn't have a problem with the concept of he himself having strictly platonic female friends, but when it comes to me I think he would like to put me in a box and hide me from all but his little approved list of men. He is pretty liberal when it comes to his buddies, maybe because he thinks they are too scared of him or too respectful of him to mess with me....but if I talk to guys in a general, social manner it sometimes bothers him. He hates me being on GC. I don't know what he thinks I am going to do but I know it is because he knows there are guys on here. But whatever, I am a guy's girl and I get along with guys generally, and I am always going to have guy friends.
