.. when one party is attracted to a member of the opposite sex and both are single, it's hard to truly maintain a "platonic" friendship.
A pure friendship is not possible because each then wants different things from the connection.

Like D Lion said, I will only flirt with a strictly platonic friend when there is not chance of sex. I will also flirt with un-platonic friends when their is a chance of sex. So, I flirt with my female friends. Like others have said, the more unavailable or undesirable, the more I'll flirt.

Finally. I was beginning to feel like the odd (wo)man out.

Beautifully said, I couldn't have said it any better.
