I recently started talking to this girl, and while she is showing interest in me, there's this guy she's always hanging out with. She said he's her best guy friend and they're definitely not more than friends, but I'm not sure if I believe it. Personally I find it hard for a guy to be "best friends" with a girl without there being any attraction from either end at any point in time. What do you guys think?
Is it possible for a guy and a girl to be "best friends"?

don't worry, that guy's in her friendzone. if she's attracted to him, they would've hooked up already

One of three things is happening:
a.) the guy is trying to make moves but the girl is keeping him around as a beta orbiter.
b.) the girl is banging the guy and doesn't want you to know about it.
c.) he's gay

They listen to their problems every time they phone 'em
But they're really not, guys just want to bone 'em!

Girls and guys can't be friends 99% of the time. Sure I won't say it's impossible, there's always the gay dude that knows the pastors daughter kinda thing. But usually it's the guy that has been friend zoned and the girl seeking validation that keeps him around. She feels horribly bad for him yet flattered at the same time so she just can't drop him... not yet. Then you come in, of course she is going to try and make both of you hang out together. After the hang session the orbiter is going to trash talk you because she deserves something better and he secretly hates your guts.

Hah. There's a 4th option.
I'm still pretty good friends with a few girls that I used to bang. It's like, okay we hooked up, got it out of our system, went ghost for a few months, then started hanging out again.
I wouldn't call them my "BEST" friends. But if I'm bored on a Tuesday night and just want a beer and conversation, they're good for that.
Most emotionally healthy people can absolutely be friends with people from the opposite sex. Indeed most people I know have some of their closest friendships with someone of the opposite sex because there is less competition and I think women like the utilitarianism of guys and men like the nurturing of girls.
But all this begins at 28 or so. Before that male-female friendships are pretty fluid and usually end up fvcking.

If he's a AFC/Chump, yes....I guess that's redundant. Plus a gay. Plus what SoSuave666 said. Plus, my friends girlfriends. Lastly, the ONE girl I grew up with since 6 grade that's now married, but is from my neighborhood and is basically one of the homies. Not ANY attractive chicks though, unless they're my friends girlfriends. I want to fvck the majority of the other ones.

Of course it's possible for men and women to be good friends. However, usually there are some feelings (sexual or romantic) on the part of at least one of the two.
The real question is do you want to put up with a potential girlfriend who is always hanging around with some other dude? Now if you're just looking to bang this girl, it's not an issue, but if you think you might be looking for more, it could become a problem.

I doubt that you can be best friends. Good friends though is absolutely possible, I live in a flat with 3 girls at uni, all of them are really close friends. And then there are another 3/4 girls who live elsewhere in the block that I get on really well with. I don't feel anything for them sexually at all.
However the girl I'm supposedly 'best friends' with, is the one that I wanted to f*** the most at one point, now we're just good friends who do the same course. Doesn't stop people telling me that her and I are going to hook up at some point in the future though as both of us have shown signals to each other on nights out.
Make of that what you will.

Lets take a moment to define the type of "friends" at least I am talking about. Because a friend can be basically anyone you know enough to call by name. I think the best way to define what i'm talking about would be to use the frequency of communication they have together. I have friends I talk to maybe once a month or so, and I have friends I call every day and just discuss every iota of anything that happened to me that day. So when I say guys and girls cant be friends I mean the latter. A relationship that both of them take the time to maintain on a daily basis.
A) They spend time together.
B) They go out together alone.
C) They talk about personal things, like sex and relationships.
The first thing that makes this wrong is because one person (or both) almost always want more than just a friend. These relationships always have an aire of manipulation. Shes trying to maintain the orbiter, he's secretly trying to get in her pants, but not limited to only this. So they will maintain this facade for extended periods of time because they feel comfortable with each other. They like each other enough to keep this going, but they just can't/won't cross the line. All the while you show up with normal intentions and are thrust into this complicated stigmatized social system they have going on. Where she looks to him for validation when it comes to you, and he's jealous, closet hating and blocking your game. And all in her best interests of course because they are friends right. She kinda knows he's being biased but she's not entirely sure. Maybe he's right, maybe her new BF is just a player...<doubt has been instilled> And the roles just might be turned if the guy finds a girl he is interested in.
When I say guys and girls can't be friends it doesn't mean it's impossible for the thing to exist. It means that in your relationship with a woman it should not exist. It means that it's not the same thing as the type of friendship you usually have with your buddies. It's more than that and as such it's not a friendship, it's something else. Some kind of Anti-sexual-relationship...

I've walked into this dynamic before. I would ask this girl to go out, and she would say "well we were going to do this." I would ask, who is we? Yep...her "guy friend". And yea, I'm pretty sure he is in love with her too.

I'm sure that's been posted before, but it's good.

I'm friends with an ex of mine. We stopped seeing each other abouf 3 years ago after she moved but continue to chat to this day. She's one of the few people who I can have a decent convo with.
She recently added my current girl as a friend on Facebook and my current knows about our previous relationship.
