I am collecting information for my presetantion.Would you share your opinion with me?
1. Do you believe men and women can be platonic friends?
2. Have you had a platonic friendship that crossed the line and became romantic ?
3. Is it possible to fall in love with someone who first enters your life as a friend?
Thank you for your cooperation!

the third, definitely yes. if you are friends, you get to know each other better the more time you spend with each other. so it can happen that you fall in love with your friend or the other way round. just because you appreciate the opinion of the friend, you know him better, you start to miss him when he's not there.
the second, hasn't happened yet, to me.
the first question is the most tricky, i think because in some cases it's possible but in most cases the friendship brakes up sooner or later because either one fell in love with the other, or with somebody else and the friend is jealous. but in general i believe, why can't men and women be just friends?

Some steady friendship exists between men and women. of course, women and men can be friends, not only lovers.
