Can you have a true friendship with someone you are attractive to without turning it into a dating situation?

Brad (wwwgoodreadscomblue) WEverything starts as a thought. So why would you want to be friends with someone if you didn’t have a hidden agenda or an arterial motive?

Margaret (LoveMyFrogs) | 35 comments My opinion yes. It goes to respect for that person and their wishes. If it's you they want, so be it. If not, you should respect their choice and stand behind them. If it's meant to be it will. The best relationships start with friendship. You should be open and honest with your feelings and talk to that person. If they truly mean something to you and vice versa the friendship will withstand anything. If not, the relationship if turned romantic would be doomed anyway.

Roy (mplwdscribe) | 1 comments No, unless your definition of friendship is pining away for someone in unrequited fashion, hanging around just in case luck strikes and suddenly the other person realizes how wonderful and desirable you are. Obviously you can be friends with people you consider to be fairly attractive. But if it goes beyond recognition of physical appeal to longing, then no, by definition the relationship is not friendship. It's waiting.
