The bast*rds and b*tches who voted "possible" are cheaters

 

2. [+199, -7]

If both are ugly, it's possible

 

3. [+160, -4]

Of course it's possible. They just don't know when that friendship will break up

 

4. [+149, -2]

One of the two is thinking differently

 

5. [+55, -79]

To the kids thinking that it's possible, just think about your boyfriend going around kissing girls as his "friends"

 

6. [+43, -3]

It's possible to be friends. Seriously, I like that bast*rd as a friend. Just thinking about kissing or doing skinship with him makes me wanna barf and gives me goosebumps. But the fact that I'm getting goosebumps means that we're just friends. If you're friends, there's no reason for you to break the relationship

 

CR.

It feels to me that most of people in the article comments got their hearts broken lol 

 

 

For me, if you ask me this question 3-4 years back, i would say no, it's not possible, speaking out of experience, i had once developed feelings for a friend and it was not cool, specially that i felt it was one sided and i never could talk about it to maintain out friendship. Now it's all good lol 

 

And i had another experience when it was the other way around, the guy had a crush on me and confessed that he did, and it was awkward afterwards, I felt i had to be more mindful around him which made feel a bit sad and distant, that i couldn't be my 100% self around him..it wasn't fair for the both of us..specially knowing that my other friend was in love with him.......but time passed and we're still friends, not as close but still friends. 

 

luckily i'm in place where i can be friends with men, specially my coworkers, some of them are dear friends who i' so grateful for, i wouldn't be able to go through some of the tough times without their advice and support and I appreciate them in my life and i have met some of their lovely wives too!

 

It really depends on your level of maturity at the end of the day, so personally yes, i think it's possible.

This.

Bisexuals can't have any friend then

Heteronormativity strikes again. Let's just pretend gay people don't exist

Also, straight men and women can just be friends. That's not even up for debate. It's a fact. And yeah, what about bisexual people? Guess they just think they want to bang everyone

You spoke before I did, but yeah this is super heteronormative, but then again it's no surprise in korea.

Meanwhile all I had go out to a club in Korea and immediately had Korean girls hitting on me (I'm a female). Like South Korea is so gay yet so conservative. The conservative politics, man...

I just assume that people that say "impossible" to this question regardless of sexuality never had a healthy and meaningful relationship with another human being in their entire life. sad
