Can a man and a woman be strictly friends?
I know it's an age-old question but whatever the century or decade we're in, we still wonder. Some of us has specific views on this particular topic.
I don't want to cause a ruckus but in my opinion, I don't see it.
In my world, a man and a woman can't be just friends.
At one point or the other in the relationship, either one of them, if not both, will think about it. A fleeting thought, a serious speculation...you do think about it...
You want to explore it but fear of the relationship ending abruptly makes you falter. The feeling may pass after a while or it may not...
BUT YOU DO PONDER...

Saying sorry is just not enough.
Saying sorry doesn't make it all right.
Saying sorry doesn't erase the hurt.
Saying sorry won't make me feel any better.
Saying sorry is not a promise that it won't happen again.
Saying sorry is not a free pass out of 'jail'.
Saying sorry doesn't re-cement the trust.
Saying sorry....is just not enough...

I also feel that friends to lovers is always a possibility but from lovers to friends? Nah, I don't think so, that's a hard one. Yes, you are right, sorry sometimes isn't enough and it doesn't make the hurt go away. But then there are times that saying sorry actually does help to mend things, it also takes a lot to be able to say sorry. =)
Saying sorry and then acting like it is okay in my book. It's how you say and not necessarily what you say.
But you're right; for some it's hard and it's obvious. I appreciate those 'sorrys'... ;)
I can be just friends with a woman if that's what she wants. The condition that applies is we only remain just friends until she can no longer fend off my routine advances. I figure it's got a better chance of working out if both parties are aware that I want some nookie. That way at least it's honest instead of being her friend and hoping that one day we'll just get drunk and do it which is what I'd have been wanting all along.

No :p
man and woman can be just friends. though sometimes the thought do occur.. but to be in a relationship, there must be that special feeling.
Saying sorry might not mean much sometimes...but other times it means everything!
I think they can be just friends, but it's very unlikely. Sooner or later attraction or sex comes between them and then they need to choose all or nothing. But there may be some rare cases, where sex is totally not involved, or in case that one's gay or lesbian and other one is straight :)
Ahhh la question qui tue! And the final answer is NO!
hm. i have several female friends who i don't think i'd ever consider dating. the friend zone is what makes it possible for men and women to be friends and not having a thing for each other. of course, there are other female "friends" i have who i could date if other things between us were different, like... if she wasn't my other friend's younger sister or something.
I think you're right...love and attraction always grows with people who are dear and closer to you...saying sorry is not enough...you need to put the sorry thing into action for it to be valued ...
I have women friends I would never sleep with. I have women friends I would love to sleep with. It is chemistry, attraction and whether it is right to do so. Anyway flirting is fun. Fantasies are exciting.
Very deadly question indeed! I have to say, I'm not too sure anymore :S
Not really sure unless the man/woman is gay. Hehe. If someone said they never think of their friend from the opposite sex in a sexual way, I'll definitely call bullshit on that one.
It's possible to be friends though but STILL, there's no exact guarantee on keep staying friends.

You are definitely right, they always think about doing it with each other, ALWAYS!

I have always been against those saying friendship between a man and a woman is not possible but I have got to say that said like this, you are right. At some point, we get to think about it. It's true!
For a man and woman to be friends they must find themselves atleast vaguely repulsive! :p
i agree with Navin. I also feel that sorry is a weary word. it all depends on how OFTEN they use the word. I get the feeling that the word "sorry" is just an easy out of any further arguing (meaning they don't give a shit and just want to move on)
