Did you ever see the movie "When Harry Met Sally" In the beginning of the movie he says men and women can't stay friends, because they will always end up in bed.

I have this guy friend who wants to be more than friends. I just see nothing but red flags with him as far as relationship material. As far as a friend goes, I value his friendship and hate to lose it.

He told me the other night that by us staying friends, I am just teasing him. I asked him if wanted to stop hanging out, and he said no. I've gotten to the point now though that I've realized I can't be alone because he will always start with the touchy-feely stuff and start asking me why I won't at least

'"give us a try" Things are fine if we are out with a group of friends. We have friends in common.

To complicate things, he is my go to person for problems (which come up often) with my rental or my house. He will fix things on my rental much cheaper than anyone. The other handymen or contractors will charge almost triple what he will charge me. Right now there's a problem with the roof, and I really can't afford anyone else.

I don't understand how things changed for him. He's always come to me for dating advice in the past before he talks things over when he's having a problem with the person he's seeing. I want to keep this friendship but it's getting harder all the time.

here's my take on it. i have a friend who has had 1 relationship and is constantly i mean constantly lonely. and when ever he makes a new female aquantance he instantly thinks there is a possiblilty that they should date because the universe owes him a girl friend or something. its super sad and super creepy. also he gets angry at the world anytime his close female friends get into relationships because he missed his "chance" even though we've all told him dude no not in like a million years. so yeah men and women can be friends actually most if not all my friends are guys because i am a gamer and typically gamers are dudes but when you have a friend that wont take a hint it sucks

Every single word Billy Crystal said in the movie When Harry met Sally about men and women being friends is taken word for word right out of the Men's manual on Women. Absolutely true.

I always chuckle when women ask a question about what men think.......and then dispute the answer that men give.

So it continues................

For what it's worth, some of my closets friends are women. These are women who I've confided in, and they've confided in me.

These are women I highly respect, and who I believe respect me. I have about 4-5 very close women friends compared to 1 solid guy friend. For some reason, I just seem to jive with women easier.

Absolutely possible. My best friend is a man - and there's 0 sexual interest. He's like my brother, it'd be creepy. He and my husband have actually known each other longer than I've know either of them. When I was younger and liked to party a lot, even drunk off our asses, there was never anything there. So, yes. It's definitely possible.

Sure, as Billy said.....men will be just friends, but "only if they don't find the woman attractive......" ya gotta go watch the movie and write it down. Like it or not, it's true....... Men are not complicated. If they find a woman attractive......they don't wanna just be friends.....simple. And what women think they know about men doesn't really matter, cause they are wrong. Ya didn't ask if women could be just friends....ya asked if men could too. It's primal......If we are attracted to a women.....it's what we do.!!

Oh, and any guy that says they have women that are just friends.......and they find the woman attractive......it just means they don't have a shot with that woman. If they did....they would go for it.

LOL.......this oughta stir things up....
