yea exactly my thoughts. in short, as you have already seen from like all the posts in this thread... guys wanna bone their friends that are girls hah. nothin else to it. sure, ive got some girl friends who im not attracted to.. but i like never hang out with them and basically only talk to them on aim ya know. dont call em to hang out or initiate conversation as much. i mean i try to be civil and polite and such but its just diff. the degree to which u have an attraction to each friend will vary. buuut more often than not, if presented the chance to bang a girl friend... the guy will pounce on the opportunity. just how it goes i guess. thats really bad now that i think about it but its reality

sucks to have fallen into the friends zone when all along you have been trying to get w/ the chick and all your hard work puts you in the friend zone. I think most guys don't mind bein just friends w/ a chick cuz sooner or later...they'll come around.

one of my good friends (girl), im not attracted to but she has some fine ass friends. well i have approached some of these girls and they all gave me the same reason. "i cant do anything because of kelly (my good friend)" see this girl kelly has like me forever and her friends think that if they get with me she will be mad at them.
well kelly has told them numerous times that she doesnt care, but her friends seem to think she still will and wont do anything.
kind of sucks for me cause i know one of them likes me, but cant cause they dont wanna ruin their friendship.

F'real, I think having chicks as friends can be beneficial (besides the boning them part) but being out in public at parties or whatever. Chicks dig guys who have "girlfiriends" cuz it shows that this dude must be fun to hang out w/ or whatever. But then again most guys who have many girlfriends as just friends is probably gay. Hehehehe!

Although i guess it kind of shows you have a big heart and want keep everyone happy. So not all bad...On another note - after hearing all this - where do the guys in your life fit in? Do you think any of these dudes want a 100% platonic only relationship?

they're both guys who i've known for quite a while... met them in school... we hang out, do the whole dinner/movie thing occasionally... but neither one has ever made a move or 'said something' that would make me think they like me as anything other than a friend.
on the other hand, i'm usually verrry clueless about these things, so i really have no idea.
another factor is that both of these guys are also prototypical "nice guys" -- very caring and sweet and considerate... this is a big part of why i like them so much, but i think that also stands in the way of anything happening with us... they're too freakin nice to *try* anything with me! damn it.

oh and just a guess as to your next thought. Yes, it may make the friendship uncomfortable if their not interested, but only to the extent that you cant harness your pride. If you can handle the possibility of being rejected, then its all good. Because really, they will be flattered at the very least, if not seriously interested at most. So the worst that could happen is you stay
or at best

Because speaking from experience they probably want to but feel that you would reject their hopes to move the relationship to a romantic level. So they figure just keep it platonic while hoping that some day you will give them a clear sign to try something.
It has happened to me on two occassions where I wanted desperately to try something with a friend chick but never did, and then years later she tells me how she always wondered why I never tried anything because she really wanted me to. Of course by then one or both us were in relationships. Then when we did have a chance to be with each other it was kind of akward because of the anticipation and then things just fizzled and it didn't work out.
If you like the guy just ask him one night, you don't ahve to be all serious. Just say hey have you ever thought about me and you going to the enxt level? Give him a hypothetical like "If I were to tell you that I wanted to maybe date you, make our relationship more romantic than platonic what would you say to that?" Even the most dense guy would take that and run with it if he's interested. And if he's not into you then it was just a hypothetical and you can BS your way out of embarassment

I think that if a guy and a girl hang out with eachother for more than one occasion...the guy has to be attracted to the girl...that or gay.
If you've gone to dinner and movies with these guys a few times...I'd be willing to bet they would be more than happy to see you make a first move. They're probably just really scared of rejection and afraid you'd turn them down.

I usually become more attracted the longer I'm friends with a girl. But then I'm afraid the whole friends with benefits thing might strain the relationship.
