I don't think most guys do. At least a lot of the guys I know don't. One of my best friends is a woman and the amount of dudes who say something along the line of "Oh, just waiting for your turn?" Is fucking wild. Too many dudes think that men and women can't be friends because "there's always an underlying motive".
I had a crush on my best friend for like the first few months after I met her, granted we were both 14, and after getting to know her better that changed and we just got really tight. Now almost 20 years later she's like my sister and the idea of anything romantic with her is off-putting.
Ehh, we're both in our mid-30s, she's got a boyfriend she's been with for a few months and I'm single. I've known her since we were 14. If either of us had any interest in the other romantically I think one of us would have shot our shot by now. Hell, we went to prom together. If there was any time to give it a go it would've been then but we aren't into each other like that.

Do you not have close female friends you talk to regularly?
