Can Boys And Girls Be Just Friends

Can teenage boys and girls just be friends?

yes they can, and yes they SHOULD. You dont say what ages you are referring to- but my answer stays the same either way. Its not easy. At puberty, hormones and sexual exploration are going wild and combined with mental and emotional angst and confusion, kids naturally want to experiment. Its not wise.Actually, its a really good idea to start out as friends for a while at ANY age. Jumping into a relationship where sex is involved just complicates things and makes it hard to know whether you are truly a good match- and you dont want to find out that you aren't a good match AFTER someone gets pregnant or hurt…That's especially true for teens who are still growing and changing and haven't fully developed their individuality, Ask anyone over the age of 25 if they are the same person they were when they were 17.The importance of social relationships for teens is to grow and learn about yourself and about social interactions. Making friends of the opposite sex is wonderful. The rest of it is pretty overrated. Keep your pants on.

Why do they say boys and girls can’t be friends?

Scene 1:-You met her just as a “friend”.You exchanged numbers and spent quality time with her.She was exactly like the “dream girl” you had envisioned.Your friends started teasing you by her name and made you believe that you had “something for her”.For her, you were just another friend.To your mind, she had become more than a friend.Scene 2:-You met him just as a “friend”.You had long late night conversations over the phone.You trusted him enough to confide in him, during the peak hours of emotional vulnerability.Both became best friends.Soon, he gave you lesser and lesser time.One day, he started dating another girl.You couldn’t afford to lose him.All of a sudden, the realization that you had something for him dawned upon you.That day, your friendship escalated to a different level, you never anticipated.If you happen to be in Scene 1, cut your peer groups for some days, to restore your mind back to normalcy. Rationalize for future!If you happen to be in Scene 2, then, there is no way out. Attachment has been established. You can either confess to him your feelings or watch him lose to another woman.In every other case, a boy and a girl can stay “friends” forever, provided none of them are continuing this friendship with a vague hope of “future togetherness”.Regards.Edits:-The answer doesn’t intend to stereotype and generalize any particular gender.The answer is written as per my own set of experiences.I hope the answer gives a “complete perspective” to his intriguing question.

Can a boy & girl be close friends?

YEAH SURE! A boy and girl can be close friends. In my views friendship, the biggest strength of a person, does not discriminate between boys or girls, it just comes from inside. Yeah I agree that in our country there are some Orthodox minded people who got problem with that but its ok I mean one make friends so that he/she could share their feelings or thoughts together and its ok if its a girl or boy…..If you just look at these beautiful quotes you will understand what I want to sayAnd in many movies also we can find the answer of our question. Lets take an example of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger who very beautifully taught us that a boy and girl can be best friends.In the end I just want to say that it does not matter whom do you make your close friend, the thing that matter is that the person who truly understands your feelings and cares about you is definitely you best friend.THANK YOU GUYS!
