We dated for 8 1/2 months. We had sex. We still find each other attractive. But we've moved on. I don't have any expectation that we will have sex ever again. It's not a motive for remaining friends with her. We're just good friends. I have another friend (and dance partner) that I went out with once. It never went anywhere ... I think it's because the age difference bothers her. I'd certainly be willing to pursue a relationship with her. It's even possible that she's changing her mind about the age difference. (A week ago I had an arm around her, and she stuck her hand in my back pocket.) But I don't fantasize about having a relationship with her. Either we do, or we don't. For now, we're just friends. As long as two people are willing to have a friendship without trying to turn it into a romance, I'd say it's possible to be just friends. I have an ex-girlfriend that I’m just friends with.

From my own experience, I've had male friends who I didn't even find all that attractive at first but the male/female energy eventually got the best of me and my mind did travel to lusty thoughts. I'd never have acted on them as we made good friends but would have made a disaster as a couple, but nevertheless I think familiarity does that.

If not, the friendship is doomed. The sex thing will get in the way. While I don't necessarily agree with it 100%, see ladder theory for more on this topic.

If I'm on line looking for someone to date or any other dating service, the last thing I want to hear is "lets be friends" I didn't go to the dating service, or whatever, to make friends I went to find someone to complete part of me that wasn't completed. Therefore I would rather here that you are not intersted in dating then lets be friends. Outside of the dating realm, I definatley think men and women can be friends...I like Mike have plenty of women friends.
