Friends or not

Last night, my drunken roommate went on a rant about how guys and girls could never just be just friends.......ever. Basically, it got me thinking about every relationship I have ever had with my girl friends. I normally would have said yes guys and girls could be just friends, but the last few weeks have been pretty eye opening to me and now i would say that no we cannot. What do you guys think?


Here is my theory about this situation. I think to become friends, you had to at least be attracted to them, whether it be by looks, personality or general character, to even start a conversation. Once the attempt to try and win them over fails, i feel like we justify the end result by saying we just want to be friends. From there, more and more we fall less interested in them and that is why in a few months time you can break away from them. If there is general interest, then you stay around until either a) you hook up or b) they hook up with somebody else and you stay around to see how things go with them.


Sorry for this little rant on my part, but i am extremely interested in seeing what you guys think. I may be alittle drunk right now, but i hope you got the general idea of what im asking. I will def be back later to add more to this because i think i have a pretty decent arrgument, but i can barely type right now.
