Don't be embarrassed Mistral - it's a perfectly reasonable point.
I agree with some of the others that it is very possible to be close friends with someone of the opposite sex without anything developing, and I think Tobbin was spot-on with his post. It is very easy to be friends with someone because you like the same things and have a lot in common, appreciate their sense of humour, but for neither one to be physically or romantically attracted.
