I'm of the other opinion. I do think that men befriend women because they always hope the relationship will change into something more, but that doesn't mean that it will. The woman controls the relationship. If she wants friendship, that's what it will be. If he weren't interested, there wouldn't be any conversation at all. I've always had a few male friends, I didn't have to avoid them because I knew they would like to have sex with me. I just had to not make opportunities for that to happen.
