Sex in the City - Calgary style

My roommate and I were talking today about men and the constant problem they create. It followed up on a conversation I had with another friend last night, who told me about a wild evening she had had with a couple of her music friends. All of us have the same problem; the line between friends and something more. And how to balance on that dental floss thin tightrope.

Can two people who are attracted to each other only ever be friends?

What makes them friends to begin with? If it is the male-female attraction do they ignore it, having that feeling drive them crazy for as long as they know each other.
Or act on it, yet whatever the act may be inevitably when over the feeling is gone. Then what are they left with? Are they still friends? Is the friendship still the same? Or in that 1 in a million chance do they act on that feeling and in the end the feeling is still there. Does that one in a million chance lead to true love? I would say no - true love is a misnomer. The only Mr. (or Mrs.) Right, should always give you that feeling of Mr. Right now... That chemistry should always be there. But, if you ask around it never seems to last.
Which really gets you no closer to getting to the answer of what do you do with that one person you just can't get over. That friend whom there is an undeniable attraction to that despite best intentions simply won't die.
One last thought: a friend of mine once said, "Men and women can't be friends unless the man thinks he has a "chance"." Whether he is right or not, it up to you to decide.
