Lovers?-lol I heard this woman describe her relationship to one of her girlfriends with a male friend and she basically said they are more than friends, less than lovers

Making out and such? Maybe just oral sex? Eh? Thats my take on it.

Friends with fringe benefits maybe? Sometimes, in between serious relationships, friends of the opposite sex will get a little closer, if you catch my drift.

Sex with no emotional strings attached. Tough to pull off as sometimes one of them develops feelings.

That's how I read it.

It could mean that the two are friendly in such a way that they feel really close to each other. Perhaps they feel so comfortable together that they sometimes have the same reactions to things, and thus are kind of "soul mates." But... it has not evolved into a physical relationship.

Christina Aguilera's "Get mine,Get yours" comes to mind.......

Why do you get so interested in other people's business...it's not becoming. Live and let live.

TripperFan · 05-05-2005, 06:47 PM

There are teams of scientists who have been trying for years to make the "sex without strings" formula a reality.

I don't think it's going to happen in my lifetime.

swedeace · 05-05-2005, 09:07 PM

Yes, it IS possible. It also depends on how these hetero/bi individuals approach each other. Were they friends first and then fell in love? Was one a crush and the other just said, "let's be friends?" Are they childhood friends and feel they're like brother/sister? It all depends on the individuals, but I DO believe it's possible for hetero men and women to become ONLY friends.

In today's society, it's more common for cross-sex friendships. Such a concept did not even exist and was questioned before the 70s. I did tons of research for my Gender in Communication class during the Fall 2004 semester. I can post it/send it via PM if anyone's interested?

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 05-05-2005, 09:22 PM

That's what a girl says when she wants a boyfriend, and all she has is you.

sERved.

Actually, I don't know. Maybe they're just really close friends. It is possible to be good friends with the opposite sex, and not be intimate with them.
