My best friend and only person who knows the "real" me or closest to that as a person will get is a straight male. We've been close friends for over a year now. It's been a heavy, change inducing friendship. I'm a cap sun/scorpio moon/sag mercury/scorpio venus/pisces mars/cap ascendant. He's a cancer sun/virgo moon/cancer mercury/virgo venus/cancer mars/aries ascendant. He knows about my "scorpio stuff" but he doesn't seem to feel it which is why I think it stayed platonic in the beginning when it may have gone either way.Astrological indicators for male/female platonic friendships?

I'm gonna be honest...I don't really believe that a man and a woman can be strictly platonic friends and never 'go there', or never develop those types of feelings for each other at some point. Even if afterwards they decide to go back to being friends, I think eventually they're going to want to get romantically and/or sexually involved with each other.That is, if they're both straight.

it often turns into a unrequited love scenario.

Maybe any close friendship can get sexual.. including same-sex ones. But who cares? If it's a friendship, it's a friendship.

Now love is a different basket of cookies... I definitely don't think you 'always' fall in love with close-friends. I don't. But pure sex? I could hit it! If they are very close & their heart's in the right place and all IP: Logged |

I think his virgo moon analyzed and discussed and dissected my scorpio moon and venus, putting it all out there on the table, and in the light of day it was not very seductive? But it made us good friends because I had no where to hide and also my scorpio moon does the same thing (just tends to not divulge the results of my finds.)IP: Logged |

My closest guy friend is an Aries with Sag ASC, Gemini moon, Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Capricorn.I have a Gemini ASC, Aries sun, Taurus Moon, Mercury in Aries, Mars in Gemini. For whatever reason, he's smitten with me and has been for years. He's not bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to hit it. He's still a good guy though. IP: Logged |

I can't with someone attractive. I will pretend to really love this one song.. And it happens to be sexy, then dim the lights and gofer a kiss. Friends though is the route I mostly take. I like to start out as that. My astrologer said I sleep with all my friends, but i forget what it was in my chart, true. Well not all but I think 3 is a large number for a group. I think I had to leave eventually lol! So now I have no lady friends. Yay! IP: Logged |

Ah geez. Fine. You reminded me of something. I did ask for a massage from him one time. Haha. But I couldn't bring myself to let anything happen because we were already close. IP: Logged |

Puts hand on mouth.. Shhhh.. Whispers just let it happen.. I mean that's what I would do. If she were not pretty I might just tag her along for attention that my Leo moon needs lol horrible I know. Kinda like the female version of a nice guy. Some though. Attractive to others. Cool thoughts, hobbies, fun. But not attractive to me. I think that could work. I had some of those in the circle I left. But not of more depth compared to others in the group. Like I'd say the same thing to another lady friend if u know what I mean. IP: Logged |

Yeah. I know what you mean...if he had given in to my "I'm just one of the guys/give me a massage game" I think I used to kind of play...we would not be good friends right now. IP: Logged |
