My male best friend and I have known each other since we were 12, and we both happen to be foreigners in the country we’re living in (I’m from Switzerland, and he’s from India). We’re super close and talk about anything and everything. My boyfriend doesn’t care about it, but he still says that my best friend is just “waiting for his turn with me.” However, he trusts me, and I’m happy, so it’s cool. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a best friend of the opposite gender. I also read a thread on another site about it, and opinions were mixed, so I’m curious what you think.
No.
Guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think y’all are really trying to sleep with all your friends, right? You do have friends who are like sisters not people you can see as partners?
I don’t have a best friend who isn’t my husband but am friends with straight men who aren’t my husband. My old boss comes over sometimes, we hang out, we are absolutely not into each other in ‘that way’. The brother of my ex, same. Just good friends.
Also, if you’ve already established that your boyfriend doesn’t care, why are you asking? If it’s his belief that all guys are absolutely indiscriminate and would always try with any of their friends, maybe ask him if that’s how he feels about all his friends who are women?
Yes, I have female friends that I have no interest in fucking. The problem is that jealousy isn’t a logical emotion.
I’m just asking out of curiosity to hear other people’s perspectives, not because I’m looking for advice. I find it interesting to read different opinions.
I am a man, people have tried to befriend me multiple times just to get to my exs. Even friends i’ve had for years.
Sad state but alot of guys really don’t care and will kinda do whatever to score. They could also really be your friend too it’s not mutually exclusive. But I’ve noticed in my live anyway it’s been very common.
