As the title said;
Is it possible to just be friends with someone of the opposite gender?
Why / Why not?

No....there will aways be one of the 2 that will develop feelings more than just friendship. It's how we are designed to be...on a genetic level. With exception being those of a gay nature.
Of course it is, what makes it impossible is that when you're just being "too nice", it would be taken in a wrong way and assume things. I dunno, if I like someone from the opposite sex I just say so. And I let them know to just tell me if they like me and I'll be honest with them. In other words, it depends on how you'll deal with people.

Aw I'm misunderstood. When you're nice, you're nice towards same sex or opposite sex, especially with your friends. Sometimes one person would be friendly to a particular person, and the other individual will think that person may like them more than a friend, which makes an assumption. Sometimes you don't even know if being too friendly is a good idea. O_o It happened to me and I got upset towards the person as he made advances towards me and I has trouble stopping him. Like why you have to think I'm that nice it means I like the person? I don't it's how I'll be with everyone when I show kindness.
If I'll like someone I do it behind closed doors and keep it only between me and that person. I'm capable to have guy friends and they stay only as friends.
Yeah? I mean my best friend is a guy. In fact most of my friends were guys throughout middle/high school. They were good friends, I ate lunch with them, chatted, hung out sometimes never once thought of anything besides that.
But yeah me and my best friend are a guy/girl friendship. It's mutual both ways, we trust each other with almost anything but we'll never be more than friends. We like each other as friends and wouldn't want to have it any other way.

I felt the need to reply with, "If they're gay."
But you can also be friends with them if they're straight.
If you have absolutely no sexual attraction to them, but they're funny and you enjoy their presence then there's nothing wrong with that.
Why yes it is possible just act kindly towards them and there going to feel affectionate towards you (i think im going off topic here)

I always find myself surrounded by girls... :\
I am friends a couple guys.
Trying to be friends with another were there used to be a mutual attraction got a little weird.
I have a lot of friends who are female, it's possible. The way you know someone has an interest in you is usually when you're treated differently than his/her other friends (usually nicer). One of my best friends in college right now is female so hope that answers your question ^^.
it works out great being friend with someone, unless ur attracted to them. My best friend was a girl up to like 6th grade (around the age of 13 i think) or so but then we got into different classes and it just didnt work out lmao now instead I'm friend with nearly all girls in my new class? o.o

its a touchy subject here. I think it just depends on both people involved and how there life may be going sometimes. If a boy/guy is feeling extra lonely lately and hes got his best friend whos a girl hangin around all the time then he might end up seeing some things differently than what they actually are. Hes gonna see her hangin around all the time and all the fun they may have and misinterpret it as some true or loving feelings from that person.
Just a little hypothetical thing obviously^ and its not very organized or thought out very well because im pretty tired here. but anyways
It is possible, i just think the conditions have to be perfect for such a thing to happen most of the time

“When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anyone or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.” -- Fiona Apple
Of course you can :I
I don't see why have different genitals means you can't be friends.
Although, me and my best friend are both confusing as we are both trans :I
Only if one is ugly and completely annoying
Um. yes, perhaps. I have more female friends in school and I don't usually hang out with boys, I find boys in our school immature and wild of some sort.
and my best friend is a girl and I don't feel anything romantic for her. There, I said it.

75% of my friends are boys (or are they men now that we've slightly grown up)...
anyways, that's the gist of it...
but of course, you can't always rule out the possibility that somebody might fall for somebody...
it does happen, and you'll just have to deal with it...
and those around you that always assume the worst of you.
(I was always branded a flirt because I hang out with different guys, some of my friends, do not know each other)...
let them be.. it's your life, it's your friends...
maybe they are just jealous because they have a crush on your friend, and he ignores them..
bwahahahaha..
pretty true...
Well yeah I don't see anything wrong about it..... not unless your an all-out play-boy or play-girl that you hit on every guy or girl who comes in contact with you right?
Come on Humans are social beings were not just made for mating or whatever.... and besides being friends with the opposite as we all know has lots and lots of advantages.... but yeah there are times that you know to yourself that you can't just be friends with a girl or a guy but still have think more than twice if your going to make that move....... what if it doesn't work out?? will you still be able to be friend with him/her?... but then again once again once more love is a gamble the risk are high if you don't make your decisions right!
I have had friends of the opposite sex that has either been platonic or developed into a relationship. If I'm with someone, they need to know their limits. I'm married, and I don't mind casual flirting, but I will let you know if you have overstepped your boundaries. But it all depends on what happens. You cannot control what goes on in your future with friends of the opposite or even same sex.
There is no absolute right and wrong. People judge as right what they personally consider pleasant, and judge as wrong what they personally consider unpleasant. Convincing others of what is right cannot be equated with teaching the Truth. It is just teaching others to agree with you. It is not about putting an end to error, but putting an end to opinions contrary to your own perceptions.~Lao Tzu
Of course it is. I'm a girl, but I struggle getting along with most of the girls in my area. (Very few girls around here like anime, video games or similar). This means that all of my closest friends are guys. =]

Thank you. =]
of course it is. i have several friends whoa are girls and just friends
I have WAAAAAAY more male friends than female friends. I work with a bunch of guys and I go to school with a bunch of guys. In fact, during a recent open house that I was volunteering for, one of the administrators told me that I might be the only girl (in my year) studying electronics engineering now (*sigh* forever alone).
So I primarily hang out with guys. I do have female friends that I hang out with, but if I want to discuss engineering and video games, my guy friends are the ones who usually jump into the conversation.
This is my war face.
This is what happens to trolls who mess with me.
Yeah Why not? Although I don't talk with guys at my school, cause I find them rude and unbearable. I have many friends of the opposite gender online.
