Ooh a boy's insight! Define interesting? Oh and answer the age-old question - can boys be friends with a girl without sex getting involved? Can there truly be a platonic relationship, excluding gay guys? I honestly don't think so. But I'm interested in hearing how things get interesting. I mean, naturally we girls have some ideas,but to have the inside scoop from a REAL BOY....ooo.....we'd be ahead of our league...and your daemons an arctic wolf.... Like my bf.......Could provide valuable insight. Aaron,darling....you're my new best friend. XD

Hmm. I've never seen why not. I'm no expert but I've hung around with guys a lot and OK, I was either punching them or playing soccer with them, but we were just friends. I'll shut up now

I've felt excluded. I have a few friends, but I don't see them outside of school much, and the only time we're really all together is at lunch, which is only like twenty minutes or something. Nobody cares about little old me. And I HATE the bus, my seat is near a bunch of guys who are always picking on me and just being idiots. But I just put on some music and ignore them, I ought to start talking to rara more then, usually at school I don't think of it. Poor little snow leopard XD ya, not that little, but whatever. ;D

I feel for you. I don't like riding the bus. I don't have any friends there, so I walk to school. My lunch situation is quite the opposite of your's. I sit at what I call "the moron table". There are 1 or 2 guys that sit there that I talk to at all. The rest are just too filled with testosterone, spend the whole time doing dumb things.

I mean it can get acward if one of your friends likes one of the girls that hang out with you. But yes it is completely possible.

XD Well things get interesting meaning that most of us guys change completely when we are around a girl most of the time we have an urge to impress them or something depending on the guy you can manipulate like putty ( poor tony ), and then if two guys like the same girl... well friends become enemys real fast. We then try and prove who is better I have seen some people fight over things like this others will back down. If you need to know anything else ask I don't care. Your boy friend has an Artic wolf daemon interesting I might be fairly similar to him

But friends becoming enemies over girls? That sucks We recently met a bunch of guys, they were really cool at first but then it became a horrible matchmaking thing where people had to pair up, practically forced to. Otherwise you'd be the gooseberry Yeah the guys totally changed - wait, what was the point of this thread?

Can there truly be a platonic relationship, excluding gay guys? I think so, my best friend is a boy. I suppose that, in a way, we're slightly in love with each other, but.. not in a sexual way. It's the same type of relationship I have with my best grilfriends, people just misinterpret things because we're a boy and a girl. I think the friendship just gets to a point where dating him would be like dating a brother or something. I think he's gay, though.So, then again, maybe the aswer to the age-old question is actually no. /Every/ other friendship I've had with a guy became a little less than platonic, to say the least.

My two best friends-who-are-guys are Andy and Julien, and there is definitely no attraction between myself and either of them. Weell ... Andy and I have had to pretend to be going out once or twice, but it was never a serious thing, we were just trying to avoid other people who showed interest in either of us. XD

Feeling exluded is a part of being a teenager. (Kael: Soapbox. Here we go..) Don't feel too discouraged, it's normal. And you're sometimes not as exluded as you may feel. I always felt like the group of people I hung around didn't like me at all, but at Halloween I was invited to a private dinner and found out that a lot of them really do care. ^^ Sometimes you just have to include yourself, show some initiative. I used to be shy and assumed the worst, but once I started really trying to get to know people, I was surprised at how accepting they were. There will be some people who're just jerks. You have to look close sometimes to find people who can love you for you. When you do, hold on tight. They're awesome. Don't let failures get you down...you'll find that special niche. High school's rough, anyway. It wasn't until my senior year (this year!) that I really settled in with a group to call my own, but they were always there...I was just too withdrawn and uncertain to really look. I really like what Mairead said. If you're feeling exluded, include yourself. If the people you're talking to tell you off, you're better off without them. The nice ones are hard to find sometimes, but they're there. University/college is always better, but don't let the piddly high school stuff get you down. It's all gravy. ^_^ *hugs for everybody*

It's different when it's people you've known your whole life. It's why I hatehatehate girl scouts. They know me, and they know it's wrong, but when we are on trips, they ignore me. When I try to include myself, they continue to ignore me. And sometimes you can't include yourself because of things you can't control. Like, all those people are talking about an assignment in a class that you don't have. Making plans to work on it together. It's even worse when they can talk about something else, and your standing there. Like they do it on purpose. I think it's horrible when people do that. They might as well be doing it on purpose. If you are the only one not involved in the conversation, and they can change it to include you, but don't...It's just plain mean. Like...when your'e charged for murder by neglect. (forgot what that's called) You didn't do it on purpose, but it's still your fault because you didn't do anything to save them when you could. Just left them there to die. *shudder* That's what it's like.

College is better then? That's good, still a sophomore though.
And can boys be friends with girls without sex getting involved? Of course, I think it usually depends on the guy though. My friend had some bad luck with that whole girlfriend thing.
That's way off topic.
College does seem better, really different too, from what I hear.
