writes:I just want to know why I simply cant have a platonic friendship with men. I recently met a great guy and we became fast friends. I have no romantic feelings for him, but he has for me. I dont have any female friends and the only friendships with men that are platonic are with my gay friends. But every one of my friendships with a straight guy has ended in disaster because I do not want to pursue a romantic relationship. What is going on? Reply to this Question

It's not just you who has a problem pulling this off, most of us do. But, you can't keep friends among your own gender? I think that is what I would be the most concerned with if I was you. I know plenty of women who make comments that "guys are easier to be friends with than girls" and such, but they usually still have a few female friends as well. It's two kind of different dynamics between male and female friends.
