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.

    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.
