Guys...where would we be without them? We spend most of our time crushing over them, crying over them or hating their guts! So what happens when a guy comes along, who you get on with so well, he becomes privileged enough to be your friend? You let him into your little world, share your secrets, have a good time, and make him one of your honorary girl friends? Well, it happens all the time, but my question is...can it happen without sexual tension building up? I used to think so...I have loads of good platonic guy friends who I love dearly...but recently, weird things have been happening...

For example, I made friends with a guy who became a really close friend of mine. We got on like a house on fire, but I had no other feelings towards him other than as a friend. It became obvious that he liked me, but he said nothing, and I ignored it. Then one night, he got drunk and ended up trying to crawl all over my body, it was most uncomfortable, and very embarrassing. I rejected him...and after that, well we never really fully made up after the incident. Then there's a guy I'm good friends with now?I don't fancy him, but after we got close he decided to tell me he liked me. Now he asks me out on a regular basis! Even though I say no all the time...things like that can strain a relationship you know!

And it's not just that way round. I had a best guy friend once. I loved him...but them I started to love him in the wrong way. Yeah, you get the picture, I entered Crush City over my best friend! It was so weird, him talking about his girlfriend to me, while I was withering inside wishing *I* was his girlfriend. Every touch, every friendly hug I received from him was like heaven, but at the same time so painful, knowing that we could only be friends. Sometimes I swear, he liked me back...I could feel the tension was there. It's such an odd situation, almost too much to bear. In the end we fell out, it was such a shame...who knows what would have happened if we hadn't, if anything.

Then there are the things that can happen when a little alcohol is introduced to situations! Same old story, two opposite sex good friends get drunk, and end up doing something they regret. It can be soooo embarrassing if you do that! I mean ick...your friend knows how you kiss now, or worse...has seen your bits!!! Drunken embraces with friends should be avoided. If your not careful, something like that can destroy a friendship, but that depends on how mature you are about the whole thing.

Of course, there are some guys who are totally platonic with their feelings for me, and mine for them. But who knows what can happen in the future? Feelings can change, and that scares me more than anything! I don't want to end up in the same situation as I was before, crushing on my buddy. It's a big no no.

So...I want to here what you all think. Can girls and guys get along without one liking the other? Or is the sexual tension thing always too much to handle? Opinions people...please write on the discussion board for this topic!

A guys point of view: Lets just be Friends
