I have heard some people say they can, and others say they cannot. I was wondering what all you might think on the topic, can guys and girls just be friends?

Can old people and young people be friends?
The answer is Yes. But some things must be understood on the differences. A child could not go drive down to the local pub and have a beer with the old person... Likewise an old person could not go into the bouncy-house with the adult... There are differences - and in those differences there are boundaries... When boundaries are understood and respected by both parties the relationship can flourish...

I will not explain the boundaries and differences in male and female :p

I might add that the conversations need to be different and filtered according to your differences... For instance, The older person should not tell the child what is happening in his marriage and how their sex life is going... Instead he should model his situation into a desirable one for the child and be a role model... Such as speaking highly of his wife, and giving insight for the child to find a great wife as well (if not better)...

Like wise a male female relationship should filter some topics with the upmost regard... And try to perpetuate the best of their gender that they have to offer, as a hope for one and other... And encouragement.

It all stems from personal experience. There are no right answers here. It's only what you believe.

Can guys and girls be just friends? Yes, if the guy is poor or the girl is ugly, but not a poor guy and an ugly girl together.

I do not look upon females as just friends, but as God's daughters, so I absolutely want the best for them.

The majority of the time....

Girls can be friends with guys because they just want to be friends.
Guys can't be just friends with girls, because they're usually "friends" because they want to be something more.
