I think it depends on the people involved - if you're sexually attracted to someone who is a friend I think it's going to be a lot harder/less likely to be able to stay 'just friends', whereas if you're not I guess it's fine? By sexually attracted to I don't mean they have to be good looking - you can appreciate the way someone looks without being sexually attracted to them - but I just think that's always going to be there.
Then again I have friends I'm sexually attracted to - I just don't want to cross the line so it has to be like this so we are just friends..?

I'm just one big contradiction :)

	"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."
