Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
YES
guys make great friends. no drama no games...u can just sit and relax and laugh with them without having to worry about complimenting their outfit enough.
Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
Yup. Those who don't believe so can't keep it in their pants, or keep their legs crossed.
Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
everything is possible if intentions are sincere and have self-respect & control.
I don't think a female and male can be very good,close friends for long without either one of them, or if lucky both :D, falling for each other :). LOL!

A very small percentage may be. For some, not being friends with opposite gender, is a simple faith based decision.
Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
There are some very exceptional situations where this is possible.
World is full of different mix of people. Still very uncommon.
Thats just not the nature of man and woman relation. We are talking relation not casual encounters.
However,
These platonic relations may have following reasons (not all inclusive)
She is ugly, not feminine enough or he is not good looking and is a bit feminine/childish.
He is married and very commited to his wife. She just has it in her mind but cannot reveal.
He/she worries about what will happen if wife finds out he/she is developing something.
Socially/religiously/culturally they are very different and hang around for one or other reason.
He/She is smart and avoids situations where he/she could think otherwise.
Now:
If she is married and he is single, that is almost unheard of.
**at my wedding, she along with my sister did the usual sisterly stuff for the mehndi, rasams and what nots. **and no, the family had not met her once until the day before the mehndi.
.
see u have given a name to ur relation, Sister..u have given a respect to ur relation thats y ur wife doesnt mind

even in exceptional cases it is almost impossible to keep a relationship platonic.. the nature of relationship can change any time..
see u have given a name to ur relation, Sister..u have given a respect to ur relation thats y ur wife doesnt mind
yeah. we got him now! :D
Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
people may not show that their feelings have been changed for their friend/pal,may be for the whole of their life, but this happens
dil daryaa samanduroon doongay, te kon dillan diyan janay hoo

Agree 100%. Its just a matter of time.
Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
There is just too much to work against if both are otherwise compatible, good looking and have similar interests AND at the same time keeping relation 'platonic'.
Is she good looking?
she is good looking, slim, intelligent, and an accomplished professional.
you got nothing..
Oh ye of short attention spans..
the question was not of my wife minding or not.
the question was can a guy and girl have a platonic relatonship
see here is a reminder…
..and I have shown by personal example that yes they can.
PS: I think i know my wife better to know why she does not mind, its bot beause there is some name given to the relationship or that this girl treats me like a brother, but its something much simpler..trust. This one girl is someone who was included like a sister in my family, there are others who were not, who are good friends and have stayed so to this day, and will stay good friends.

Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
It's very much possible and depends on individuals.
I have alot of friends who are guys. Me, my brother and my sister all have mutual friends, boys and girls. Maybe that's because we all and our cousins went to the same university so we got to know alot of people through each other. Even friends who we knew from outside of school would come to our birthday parties, gatherings, etc and got to know everyone else. Most of the time, all of us- siblings, cousins, friends AND friends' siblings- hang out together. It's always the same crowd over whether it's my party, my br's or my sister's. Also, we are of different ages so some friends are older, some same age, some younger. Our parents are cool with it because most of their parents are family friends since it's a close knit desi community.
Initially my husband (before marriage) was a bit weird about it- apart from hanging out with his medicine group buddies once in a while, he doesn't like to be very social. But my friends started calling him up on his birthday (we would do conference calls), talking to him online and on phone, and pretty soon, he had become really good friends with all of them especially the guys. When he flew down here finally, all my friends came over and they met each other as if they had been friends for years. His family was so suprised that he knew everyone here already. He got a huge and a very warm welcome. Most of them are also in med school so they found a mutual thing to be excited about lol.
Even during our wedding time, I was jealous because they all turned dulhay walas despite of being my friends! We did raat jaggas (all nighters) hangin out, and even on shaadi day, they were all with me and hubby before nikkah getting everything ready for wedding. So yes, we share a good platonic relationship and even though we don't see each other all the time any more, we stay in touch. I am blessed to have such wonderful friends (both girls and guys) and glad even my hubby gets along so well with them!

then why did you give the example of the one who is like a sister. why didn't you give the example of the other girls who were not thought of as sisters but good friends. cause then we would need to go through your relationshp with them and find out if it was just acquaintance or your wife's friends.
Can a Girl/Boy or Man/Woman relation be platonic?
What do you think?
yes...only if one of them is married to a better looking partner
Re: Can a Girl/Boy Man/Woman Relation
Ofcourse they can. I have friends who i consider my best friends/brothers and not once have i thought about them in 'that' way. One of these friendships dates back like...15 years soooo the answer to your question is yes, they can.

What you described is a group relationship. Very well known to be emotionless. A great relation basd on some personal touch and based on many common qualities.
Also,
Ages are different
No one is having a one to one relation privately.
