Is it possible/reasonable/common to have close, intimate relationships with a member of the opposite sex without ever doing anything sexual?
Are most women aware of when a guy friend might have feelings for them, but they keep them within the "friend-zone" anyway?
If so, why? Attention? Is it knowing the fact that you are attractive enough for someone to have feelings for you - while at the same time telling yourself you are too good for this same person - which somehow reaffirms your sense of self-esteem? Is it fair to flirt with this person to make him think you are interested, while knowing full well that you will never allow the relationship to go to the next level?
