Can Men and Women Just Be Friends?

 

Can men and women just be friends? Is friendship possible after a break up? Or does it depend on the break up?

Men and women are destined to be attracted to one another. Its been such from the beginning of time and we are destined to be social creatures. Heck, look no further then this site! But being attracted to different people for social reasons should be confused with sexual attraction though. There is a difference. 

I also think seeing both sexes living more independent from one another and for longer these days, results in seeing  more friendships between the sexes then we might of seen in the past. It's no longer a social shocker these days for a man and woman to catch a coffee together.  It's natural to be drawn to people who share our interests, have similar backgrounds and we can't ignore that many happy couples usually say their union started in friendship first BUT all that being said, I think it is still more common to see same sex friendships compared. 

Soooooooo........

1. Can men and women be friends without a sexual attraction? If the person is LGB, does that change your answer or thoughts?
2. After a couple has broken up, is it possible to become or remain friends afterwards?
3. Do you have friends of the opposite sex? 
4. Does your spouse/partner accept you having friends of the opposite sex or has it ever caused an argument or distrust?

Post your answers, thoughts and any songs or memes that go with today's theme......or not!

Peace & Love, GG.
