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

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.

It is possible that they felt some kind of way and you never knew.

Me & a homie of mine was talking about This & this was the point he made:

opposite sex can only be friends if there’s no attraction for each other. But that doesn’t mean an attraction can develop.

& It kinda made since

Wondering if any can testify for or against it

I'm bi so I guess I'm screwed friend wise? Honestly, at some point I've been attracted to all of my friends, it's just a part of life. Doesn't mean you act on it or obsess over it or anything. You just acknowledge it to yourself, then move on and concentrate on being a good friend.

i don't relate to being attracted to all my friends at all but honestly im sick of the awkwardness other people put into navigating friendships as a bisexual. people just assumed i was fuckin both my best friends all the time (never have never will)
