Men and Women Can Be Just Friends

An unfortunate misconception of society is if a male and a female get along with each other, there just must be something more to their relationship then friendship. Anyone with the slightest degree of common sense can really debunk that theory rather easily, as obviously if it was the case men would only get along with women that were their wife, girlfriend or relations, while ignoring everyone else and the same with women with men.

Can men and women be just friends? This question tends to get brought up rather a lot. When people of opposite genders form a deep connection, sometimes folks are going to wonder if it is going to be slightly more than what it appears on the surface. Truly there will be people who will talk, gossip, and just spread rumors.

Funnily enough, opposite genders can get along without jumping right into bed or at the very least into a more serious relationship. There are times where this is more than for the best as well. People who have been childhood friends for years have attempted to take their relationship to the next level. And to mixed results, but many times, this step does not end well.

Perhaps after being friends for so long, it just seems too weird for those individuals to be something more. Or perhaps they can merely function on a friendship. If you have ever had a friend that has become a room mate for whatever reason, you may notice the entire dynamic of the relationship will change. You are dealing with them on a completely different and more personal level. At times, that does lead to conflict.

You get along with them well on this level but when you reach that past that level, the dynamic changes. Thus, you will not get along with them.

Every friendship between a man and a woman, there will always be whispers. People really do tend to be amused by many things and will always talk. Should you let that bother you? Not at the slightest. Of course the sad truth is people have been pushed into relationships based upon people thinking that they would be a good couple and thus trying to push them together.

Once in a while it works but other times it does not and when you go down that road, it is hard to return to the old friendship. No matter what, a man and a woman can be friends.
