is it possible for a heterosexual man to be satisfied with being best friends with an attractive woman without wanting anything more than that?

Yep. But not if he's under 30 years old. LOL

Not if he lives within driving distance of her.

I have always had more male friends than females.

Oh wait, you said attractive female

i think you're hella attractive

i use to have one,but that was in high school

My three best friends ARE male....and I'm not a blip on their radar.

Why?

Cause they've seen me at my very very worst and my very very best.

We've been through **** together they would never want to go through with a girlfriend....ya know...crazy trips to Mexico...hookers in Montreal...getting completely plastered on the golf course...

So yeah...I think it's possible.

Thank you, but to answer, yes it is possible! Now the women in their lives may not accept it, but that is their problem.

Yes, I am and I would'nt ruin it for the world

sure ya wanna meet for coffee.?

I have been wondering the same thing today. Have been developing a 'friendship' with this man, and it appears to be just that. But cynical me (the old NYer in me) still wonders...hmmm is he up to something? He's recently divorced and I'm not about to be his rebound and sort of told him that, but he keeps coming around.
If it is - I like it. Been wanting a local intelligent (remember where I live folks) man to do some things with that make you think or appreciate life. I have had male friends in the past yet in the long run...it turned out they wanted something then when that didn't happen we went back to being friends. Looks like I just answered my own q there.

IMHO, they will always think about thee possibility of being more, but a true friends wont act on it. He wont want to risk the ruin of a good friendship. That doesn't mean that he isn't allowed to tease and flirt a bit...it's good for the other party's ego.

I'm friends with a guy under 30 and he has no romantic interest in me at all.
