Women can usually see men as just friends, but most men can't stop hoping for something more. This leaves both sides stuck: women waiting for men to give up the fantasy, men waiting for it to happen anyway.
The old Harry Met Sally adage is still valid. I think, um, that men and women, it's very difficult for them to be just friends. I think the women perhaps can be friends and can think of a man as a friend, but most men, I think the vast majority of men find it very difficult to just be friends with a woman without there being some sort of sexual frisson there somewhere. Um, and that's something which is quite sad in a way, um, because the man is constantly hoping that something will happen, and the woman is constantly hoping that the man will stop thinking that something will happen. And I'm not sure it ever does.
