Yes, I have many female friends who are just that and nothing more.

Yes, I have many. (I do consider some of them as potential relationship partners, but do not specifically work towards such a development).

Yep, I have a friend from college who is male and have never been more then just a friend.

Totally. The friends I have that are men, things can sometimes get a bit flirty, but really in a confidence boosting sort of way. Like reminding the other person they are awesome right before they go on a date. But I'd do that with my female friends as well, it's just perceived differently.

Yes, i have a female friend, we are like brother sister.

yes and I think those relationships have been best because they never involved something else

Yes, definitely. I've always tended to get on better with women than men and almost all of my closest friends have been female. In a few cases, over the years, some of them did become romantic partners, but in the majority of cases we remained close friends and nothing else.

I think it's very possible. If the disire for more is put out in the open early on and shut down then I find easy to continue the relationship at a platonic level. It's when the feelings or thoughts are kept quite that it gets weird along the way.

My closest friends are men and one woman but no sexual relationships with them. I see people as equals and have no expectations of them. They do the same for me.

Yes, my best friend and I have known each other for over 15 years. He's been married for a few years now and has two wonderful children with his wife. His wife and I have become the best of friends. Sometimes when he is at work, I have taken her and the kids out for events so that they are not just stuck at home but also so she doesn't have to do it alone. There is no intimate attraction between us. We click on many levels and I adore their kids. We all trust each other completely and if anything, has made my relationship with my best friend even better than before.

Absolutely. My very best friend is female. I love her with all my heart and I think we would make a good couple, but there's no need to cross that line. We are both content (me single, she's taken with a new baby. I would never interfere with that.) I love her all the same and relish at the fact that we've been best friends for over 15 years. It's perfectly healthy and neither of us regret our friendship at all.
