Platonic Friendship

Is it really that difficult for people to believe that platonic friendship truly exist?

Why when often a guy is very close to a girl, people tend to start rumour on maybe he's interested in her or she's interested in him?

Isn't there this possibility where maybe both of them really treat each other as friend purely and nothing more than that?

Undeniable that the line between is a thin line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I myself have a few platonic guy friends and I don't find it troubling me, that is excluding all the rumours and stuff. Push away all the rumours, we're just as normal as I am with my girl-friends, as he is to his guys friends.

Despite how difficult is it to see the line, I still would say that people who often think that pure friendship between a male and a female doesn't exist as shallow thoughts.

To debate, you may say, there were lots of cases where best friends actually became lovers and soul mate in the end of everything. So? This still doesn't mean that platonic friendship doesn't exist!!!!

Sometimes, its really annoying to have people talking behind your back when all you did was just being close to a guy friend, just like how you are close to your girl-friend. For goodness sake, we're just friends!!!

Put aside the gender, we're all humans.... Even the bible tells us to love our neighbour like how we love our sisters and brothers. So, showing care doesn't always have to have a purpose behind. There are people out there who actually care because they had once experienced it and hope that others would know the way to live through it. Is that a wrong thing to do?

Above are plainly my opinion, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone who disagree with this, but I've clearly state my stand. For me, platonic friendship between a male and a female EXIST.
