Platonic Friendship or Attraction in Denial?

Referring to a relationship between two heterosexual people of different sexes, we first try to find out exactly what relationships constitute a platonic friendship and secondly whether or not it’s even possible to have one with the opposite sex. To clarify, accepting a friend request on facebook is not enough for our definition of “friendship.” This is someone you go out of your way and convenience to spend time with.  Because of the gender separated schooling in Iran, if such a phenomenon is even possible, generally speaking, do you agree it’s harder for those who have grown up in Iran to maintain it? Does it make a difference if one of the two, or both are in a relationship? Are guys or girls more open to their significant other having a platonic friend of the opposite sex?

  1. there can never be a platonic friendship between a guy and a girl because the guy is always after one thing. I dont have to tell you what that is. YOu should KNOW.

  4. Hey everyone, greetings from Holland. This is a helpful site. I’m wondering if you have any advice about staying out of the friend zone with girls? I’m really tired of girls telling me they just want to be friends. Maybe I’m being too nice?
