Can men and women ever really be friends?
One of the age-old questions plaguing prudish philosophers and sleazy housewives alike; a predicament which has puzzled us for as long as we've had eyes to see and hearts to beat; can you be friends with a person of the opposite sex whom you're attracted to? Go about answering it any way you like. Fiction or non-fiction. Poetry or Prose. I might as well tell you before-hand; there is no correct answer, only joyful suffering. (But of course, I'm very probably wrong in that assumption. It's trendy to be wrong nowadays. Wrong is the new right don't you know.)

Whatever will be will be...

I usually like to get the creative apple juices going on challenges I enter, but not so on this one. I will be direct and to the point.

"Can you be friends with a person of the opposite sex whom you're attracted to?"

I say a hard NO! Or should I ask, what do you mean by attracted?

I say if the person of the opposite sex makes you applesaucy and you are already in a relationship, walk away, to a avoid the temptation, if monogamy is something you value.

If the person of the opposite sex makes you all applesaucy and they are as dry as a bale of hay for you, who are you kidding. You know you are keeping them in your life hoping they will have an epiphany and volte-face.

If the person of the opposite sex makes you all applesaucy and you conjure the same response in them, I say carry on with the friendship and que sera sera.
