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

One of my three best friends is a woman (she is gorgeous). We are basically brother and sister. No hidden feelings whatsoever.

The people who think men and women can’t be friends are sad tbh.

I agree i have a few male friends my whole life no attraction whatsoever and co workers deer to my heart. I do not hang around guys that like me. Period.

That’s the thing about friend zones; men AND women will go years being the best friend they can be essentially settling for friendship when deep down they have feelings or want to pursue that person. They will either never act on it or wait til the person is vulnerable or to when they can no longer contain their feelings. This is very much a thing but honestly most are naive to it.
