i dont wanna get too personal but i would say that guys can have female m8s an vice versa,,i would consider personally iv got about 2 male friends that i sit an ramble my shit to an they dont judge me.....as for fancin me etc i dunno about that,,but on the whole for a guy to be m8s with a girl dont matter as long as the guy doesnt see the girl as ' a one time fuk ' ,,as girls think differently to the sex side of a relationship(well sum girls do) ill correct that bit..an as the past posts iv read yea sex isnt the only thing about a relationship to make it work,,for a guy that wants more from his female friend ,,then u have to tell her how u feel as just holdin on to the hope that one day shell notice u ,,wont work especially if one day she finds sumone else an u feel rejected again...u need to get feelings out in the open an move on from them
