More importantly, I read that a “New research suggests that there may be some truth to this possibility—that we may think we’re capable of being “just friends” with members of the opposite sex, but the opportunity (or perceived opportunity) for “romance” is often lurking just around the corner, waiting to pounce at the most inopportune moment.” Need I say more?
Many including myself have debated the conundrum of platonic relationships between men and women. I remember a while back my girlfriends and I got into it when she mentioned that she had not seen her best ‘guy’ friend in a long time. Never one to shy away from a irrefragable topic I made a comment that I did not believe a man and a woman can be in a platonic relationship. Of course they both disagreed with me, and accused me of being crazy. Their only argument was: if you want to know about men, you ask a man. That may be true to some degree, and I will admit that I did get some good advise from Steve Harvey’s book: Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man, but let’s not forget a man will be a man, and given the chance he will sleep with you.
