Hey,

So I have finals going on and this was my wonderful distraction and break. For real though I can't be any more productive. But that's beside the point.
Your question was can a guy and a girl be just friends not lovers provided that they are close. So in personal perspective yes I think so. This is why: I have a guy best friend that I literally feel comfortable telling a lot of my life to. Yes, at one point I did like him but it was more due to someone implanting in my head that we would look cute together. So later I moved past that I was able to clearly understand stand my feelings. Now we are great friends and share a great rapport. And he is just a friend not someone have feelings for.
I guess it all depends on how you think through things. Most people do get attracted to the other person mainly bc they are so similar or completely opposite. It just takes your brain to function it...
But when I first read this I thought of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and how SRK said that his love has to be his friend first. I do agree on that front bc you need a platform, it makes it easier for both the people to understand each other and grow in the relationship. Oh and literally you do have some attraction towards people whether it be friends or lovers. It's more of how you categorize and decipher your feelings. Like Maanvi and Virat channeled theirs towards love :)

Thank you for taking the time of to reply to this. Good luck for your exams 😃 Yes- it is hard to know where your feelings are when society keeps planting the very thought in your head that 'this is right'. 'Most people do get attracted to the other person mainly bc they are so similar or completely opposite'- I agree with this as either can lead to something more; cause when you are friends with someone- in most cases, you will have one or two or similar likes- which helps us to connect with them and this can always lead to that 'something more'. Maanvi and Virat got very lucky in their relationship 😊

ausum post nd wonderful responses too.. well it really depends on the people involved..a guy nd a grl can be best of frends nd develop no further feelings for each other but then agen frendship between them can also lead to sumthing more..it really depends on the situation.. nd as well as this i think often luv develops from strong frendships initially lyk virmaans but this is not always the case..
p.s i know its a short nd lame reply but this is what happens when u have exams the next day nd instead of revising u r logged into IF nd commenting on posts which is exactly what ure not supposed to be doing..*sighs*

nice question elena...something that really has been the issue in several relationships that i hav seen crumble down...i think the answer to this wud be that its highly subjective...depends on the people and their relationship...
according to me being best friends with a guy is bound to get difficult...i think at some point or another feeling do encroach upon the friendship zone...i fell for my best friend...the guy has no clue that i hav this massive crush on him...
also with real close friendship emotions like jealousy , insecurity , possessiveness and wat not also come into the picture...
perhaps i hav nt been able to be honest enuf in my relationship with him...bt i do think its extremely difficult for a guy and a girl to be just best friends...
