Ironically, I agree with all the comments. Yes, a friendship between a boy / man and a girl / woman is possible without sex. Also from personal experience. Again, from personal experience, I can say that things start as number 2 describes. Either you make friends first and then one falls in love, or - as it was with me - in the reverse order: first one falls in love, then you see, that nothing will happen and you remain friends. In this case, I was in love, but they cut me off (I admit - tactfully), because I was one of the shy ones like the author, and the object of my love was the revolving chicks. However, in our quest to stay around her in some way, we became very close and remain so 15 years later. In the meantime, it can be said that we had sex, although technically we are not (I will not go into details), but that does not hinder our friendship. At the moment, the girl in question is quite sorry that she didn't "take" me when she had this opportunity, because her current one is full of shit and they have a lot of other problems, so now the parties have been exchanged. But that's another story. At number 4 I can say that best friend and best friend have NOTHING in common! It doesn't matter if you look at him as a man or as a woman. As a man with friends, you can watch a game, drink beer and play insider jokes at work. As a woman with friends, you can talk about hairstyles, beauticians and aerobics. Friendship between a man and a woman is a completely different movie. Kubrat At number 4 I can say that best friend and best friend have NOTHING in common!

Of course, it is possible darling :) although in some cases it happens that one of them sinks ... but anyway - you say that you are shy .. first - do not take this as a complex :) completely you I understand I was like that before, but everything has changed. How old are you? No matter, I can advise you anyway, if it's a little difficult for you to make friends with a boy on your own, why don't you ask a friend to introduce you to a boy. Not to become boyfriends, but just like that - for example you tell her "Let's have coffee tomorrow, but so that we are not alone and get bored, take one of your friends to be a joke" :) and remember - don't be ashamed, because there is nothing unnatural in that your girlfriend with a boy. Behave with him as you behave with your friends - conversations, jokes but the ball .. And then write what happened !! : Р Good luck. К.
