Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
minah pa hmmm what can I say. I respect you, but you already know my opinion on the issue.
mad scientist why DO you have female friends? were there any females sahabis? no right? then why should you have female friends?
belle simple. say TAUBA. and then stop being friends with guys. whats so complicated?
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
irem thats a pretty strong statement coming from you. My first thought was irems account has been hacked.
Yaar, I have mostly guy friends and barely any female friends. And I have known them since forever. Trust me they are the most shareefest and nicest guys around but not once have I thought I would spend my life with anyone of them. not that they arent nice etc but just that they are merely friends, not potential rishtas. And I am glad i dont think like you, with all due respect, since had I decided men and women cannot be platonic friends, i would have missed out on knowing such wonderful people who are there everytime i need them.
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
IRA ab ye bhee bata doh ke how many wanted to be more than friends with you? Did it not break their hearts when you said no?
(I'm being serious yaar. I don't think its right.)
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
irem, not one has ever been flirtatious towards me or said anything remotely suggestive. I am serious too!!!
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
HMMMMMMMMM ok thats a first. kasam se. coz I have heard differently from my female friends who do have guy friendz.
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
Were those female friends in Pakistan or in the USA?
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
Does that matter? They were desis/Muslims.
Quran and Islam is for ALL of humanity. HUMAN NATURE is the same in ALL human beings.

suni sunai batoN pur dhandhora nhin daltay. Experience it for your self..set your rules upfront and see how guys treat you.
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
Irem, I was teasing you, sorry. I just believe that you could be wrong in this. Just that different enviroments foster different attitudes.
Here in the US, people can do as they wish, they are free to. Myself aside, I know a lot of decent, well-bred girls (my own 15 yr old included, so please, no comments on the US enviroment) who have male friends they are not romantically involved with. I encourage my children to have a lot of interaction with a lot of different people: old, young, rich, poor, male, and female.
This means they are more well-rounded and not so sheltered that they cannot be strong, independent people. This also means that they can form friendships with NO expectations. I believe that has to do with maturity, also.
A couple of points, then I am done-
How can a woman expect to make the best decision on who she will marry if her interactions with men are limited?
How can a woman hold a job and not know how to interact with others, specifically men? Especially if she is in a supervisory position.
This is supposing that you allow women to have a choice in marriage and a job. Not sure what your view on that would be.

FAYZ aap toh bolein hi mat. Flirt # 420 :D
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
Agreed. Irem people can be friends and at the same time not flirt with each other.For example maddy, we all know hes like our little bro. 
It all depends on the individual. Some will flirt with each other, yet say they are only friends. Others will treat each other as they would treat their own siblings. Im not saying its right having guy friends, Im saying its possible to be friends, yet not flirt.
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
That’s like asking why should I try to do sit-ups, because he didn’t.
Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
Human nature isn’t the same - human nature is a result of how you were brought up. Not just by your parents, but by the environment around you. In an environment where platonic friendships are normal, they are easier for a growing child to accept and incorporate into his or her values; and thus be capable of behaving platonically towards the opposite gender.

Re: Guys and girls can not be friends.
Irem, why even post this thread?? There is no question and you are open to no discussion on this matter. It sounds like a lecture to me......and I dont think we all need a lecture on who we can/cannot be friends with.
S.
