So, what’s everyone’s opinion on this. Do you think it’s possible for a guy and girl to JUST be friends or is it inevitable that at some point something deeper will develop? Personally, I don’t think it’s possible. I used to think it was possible but lately it seems to me as though every guy i want to be “just friends with” has something more in mind. Or maybe this is just my personal experience. Maybe i’m too flirty? Too outgoing? Who knows…

Ofcourse they can be friends.
See any couple who are not married are "just friends". I come across scores of them everyday. Just yesterday a colleague introduce me to his son, i asked where is your wife, he said, you mean his mother?, i said, yes, he answers, well we are not married we are** just friends.**
Well, I was going to point out how some guys would come and say 'oh we have plenty of female friends', though most of their social lives revolve around GS and online friends, who they might have met up in real life. Expanding the discussion to include people who actually have 'real' female friends that they met through the 'traditional' means, then its a diff ball game - the real litmus test, and the thread starter does have a point.
I think it's completley possible. A couple of my best friends are male (and happily married). There's never been any question of it being more than loyal friendship.

I kinda agree with u there.
as i also have some female friends for a long time now so i wont say that its not possible but the chances r very low. there is always a barrier. lets face it, wat is a friend? someone u can share everything with, but if u have even a lil bit of character u would know that u can not share everything with the opposite gender (or m the only backward paindoo conservative here).
and on top of all this is something forbidden by my Allah subhanawata'la so even if its possible we should not do it.
and again, m not saying its not possible, but the chances of being friends are so low.
and always remember its not only u who can be intimidated by ur friend, it could be ur friend intimidated towards u aswell.
Why do we have to answer this question everyday? I say we make a scorecard whereby we are able to say that girls and guys can be friends on any given day only if the temperature is below 30C and not if the temperature is above that. There has got be a solid criterion.
I wouldn't say impossible. It is possible for them to be friends...depending on a few things. For the most part one shouldn't be physically attracted/lustful for the other. Then they can maintain a healthy friendship. Or a bhai/behan kind of deal.
