Can Men and Women Truly Be Friends?

Not long ago I found myself engaging in a more than "friend"ly activity with a guy I have been friends with for many, many years.  I was shocked and did not know what to think of it.  Before I could even process fully what had happened he made it clear that he wanted things to remain the same as they always had been between us.  Now, I know this does not happen with all heterosexual male/female relationships, but in thinking more on the subject something occured to me.

I have never had a heterosexual male friend that either a. I at one point had considered more or b. He at one point had considered more.  Is this truly just friendship if one of the parties feels more for the other? 

Of course there are exceptions.  Your friends boyfriends and husbands can become your friends, but have you ever noticed how you are much more cautious of any and ALL physical contact with them?

Can men and women ever truly "just" be friends?
