    Is it possible to just be friends with someone you're physically attracted to?. Tbh, I'm not sure if I could be friends with a guy I'm attracted to because I feel like I'd be constantly checking him out. What are your experiences?

    I think a few of my friends are cute/hot. It doesn't faze me personally, but to some people it is hard to deal with.

    I've had friends attracted to me before, and it's rather annoying because they're straight guys and I'm gay. I've been attracted to one of my friends before, but I try to ignore it because I don't want it hurting our friendship. So more or less just annoying experiences.

    The experiences you are experiencing are perfectly natural. You are naturally attracted to whatever gender you are attracted to. As long as you don't make sudden advances towards the person, you should do well. You will know when a person likes you, for example they will stare back at you with a certain look, and things like that.

    I hope this helps!
