I have a friend who's like a brother to me. We've known eachother since first grade and we love eachother. It's never said, just implied. We're very close. But we don't have any physical attraction for eachother. So yeah...I think that guys and girls can be friends without any desire to be bf/gf or anything like that.

It is possible for a guy and a girl to be friends...me, I am happily a part of a almost all guy group of friends, and I am treated like "one of the guys," so I haven't really had a problem with any of them wanting to be my boyfriend...well...except one. And he fully understands that it can't be as he likes it, and that hasn't changed our friendship one tiny bit. ^.^ So it is possible to remain friends and want nothing more.

There have been times where people have been able to remain friends and not feel attracte to eachother, but for the most part I think that it is a really had thing to achieve.

it depends on the person and if they are already in a happy relationship with someone of the opposite sex (if they are straight). If you are already satisfied with the person you ware with, then it is possible to simply be just friends and be true friends at that. However, if you are single and longing for that emotional fulfillment that a intimate relationship would offer. You would long for those close friends of yours of the opposite sex, and not want to be only a 'friend' with them at that point.
I'm going to search around and post after this a theory i heard in class. The basics of the theory are if you are happy in your relationship by a 4 to 1 ratio of likes and dislikes of your partner. you will be happy and unlikely to cheat. The same would apply to looking for love elsewhere. again, i am looking because i know I'm not describing it correctly.
EDIT: I can't find it online. I'll have to pull out my textbook when I get home if anyone really cares for this theory

I personally believe that the opposite sex can be friends. This , atleast for me, is true everyday. I have several female friends, that I do care about very much, and Im sure they feel the same way back, but I dont think that I would ever want anything more than that from any of them.

I don't think there's any difference between a really close friendship and love. I think the only difference between a relationship in which you would want to date someone and a relationship in which you're platonic is whether or not you're physically attracted to them. That is not to say that a romantic relationship is the same as a platonic relationship. I think that romantic love spawns from a really close friendship and from a physical attraction but romantic love is something that needs to be developed. I don't think someone can jump from close to romantic overnight. Likewise, My point is that although a really close relationship may have the potential to develop, that doesn't nessarily mean it will.
Now take into consideration bisexual. Bisexuals can be attracted to either gender. Who should they be friends with?
I for one, am friends with many guys. i have been friends with them for half my life and i love them to death. they are my family. they have progressed past the "close friend with romantic potential" point and are not platonic. I don't think I could ever think of them in a romantic way.

I think its possible to just be friends. Most of my friends are male and very few I've felt I've wanted to more than to be friends.
Also think either way it'd have to depend on many factors. They seem to work in different ways such as time in a persons life, feelings, and much more.

She lay down on the grass,
Looking up at the sky,
thinking, it’s all she can do.
If she disappeared she would not be missed.
She will be gone just like everyone else.
Getting up from the grass,
she walks on the sand,
looking outward towards the sea.
She walks into the water high up above her knees.

I think they can be friends. But what do yo mean by true friends? Because I honestly trust all of my guy friends and a majority of them are my best friends.
Although in the past, I've had feelings for my best friends, and vice versa and before my boyfriend and I dated, we used to be close friends, but now we've become best friends. Are you saying friendship in adulthood, cannot be true without sexual feelings? Because my mother and father have best friends of the opposite sex and they don't have any sexual feeling towards them. And they are best friends.

The waves softly hit her legs.
She looks at the sunset and its yellow-red hues
she walks into the sea, farther and farther,
opening her arms towards the wave.
The water is high up to her hips.
The wave comes towards her.
She looks at the wave with her arms stretched out;
the water starts to rage, the wave hits her body hard.
Then the water calms down. The water recedes,
then darkness falls, and all goes dark.
The sun goes down and the day is done.
