I was going to say maturity as well because that's necessary indeed.

I think so. It requires no sexual interest.

It could be shared interests. Friendships often form around common interests or activities. Gender doesn't determine one's interests or hobbies, so men and women can easily connect over shared passions.

Personally, I don't think so. It may be possible if you're both single, or if everyone in your circle is mature. Because eventually, one of you are going to get married and in that context, a male/female friendship isn't that possible anymore... unless everyone is mature. Maturity takes a very high amount of knowledge and intelligence.

Yes, it's possible. But there are some guys who don't know how to be friends with a woman and always try to flirt with her, sooner or later.

of course, because thinking otherwise is simply sexist.

Yes, it's possible when both of their thinking shifts from centre of the body to top of the body.

Yes, you have to be careful, but I think it is important to people learn how to be good friend no matter for girls or boys.

If both are mature enough, it is easy and normal.

Definitely, but it's tricky. Only old friends. One of my best mates is a girl. But I'm not attracted to her physically. On the other hand if your wife wants to go out with some new dude from work for a coffee. Infidelity awaits.

It’s possible, and it shouldn’t be a controversial statement. The most common argument against it is that non-reciprocal, romantic interests tend to form between male-female friendships. I mean… sure? I guess. To be direct, the thought of romantic possibilities with my female friends sometimes passes my mind. I don’t ignore those thoughts, but I don’t pursue them either. The dynamics of real-life interactions are what determines what my relationships become. If nothing naturally leads to romance, then romance won’t happen. Likewise, if good times as friends is the main vibe, then I am more than happy to keep things that way.

Yes one of my longest friendships is with a woman. However my two best friends were a couple and we'd been great friends for 5 years, and a few weeks ago she came on to me, I had to tell him and then it went sour from there.

Yes. We befriend personalities, whatever happens to be between their legs shouldnt be a part of the friendship equation.

Of course, men and women can be friends without any issue. Anybody who thinks otherwise is just stuck in the past. Friendship knows no gender boundaries.
