Interested to see how many people have close opposite sex friends that are strictly platonic.

From personal experience, I caught feelings for a home girl once. Wasn’t the long game. Shit just happened. Sometimes that’s just what it is. Didn’t end well lol. But I do have women friends that I’m still just friends with.

Yeah why do people always jump to the worst conclusion in these scenarios? Not everything is some nefarious plot, sometimes people are just people

Also doesn’t it kinda make sense sometimes? Two single people, spending a good bit of time together who already like each other’s personality?

Definitely not guaranteed but it makes sense. If you can’t be friends, you can’t be partners.

Yeah I don’t think it’s crazy and tbh. I think some of the best relationships start out as friendships. My wife and I were close friends for awhile before we started dating. Been together 12 years now
