[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you can be. [b]Why does sexual attraction mean you aren’t friends? [/b]Assuming said attraction isn’t the only motivator for everything else I don’t see the issue. People usually are friends with members of the opposite sex they find attractive, regardless of how hard they deny this [/quote]

Because if you want end up dating other people seriously you are spending time away from your significant other and with someone else that you are good friends with and would like to sleep with but just haven’t yet. It can also make you less motivated to work something out with current significant other in a rough patch if you know there is this person potentially waiting in the wings.  Chris Rock’s skit about Platonic Friends has some truth

So my answer is they can really be friends if there is no sexual interest or they know it would never work out.[/quote]

You can find someone sexually attractive, know it would never work out and therefore never make an attempt at crossing that boundary and still care about their well being/enjoy conversation. It’s not as hard as people make it out to be. [/quote]
