How would you react is someone asked you....?

Question

If you and your best friend were "partners". I was at a BBQUE today and the lady who was hosting it asked me if my friend and I were partners or just living together. I was shocked, cuz I didn't think people would think we were? I mean my best friend and I are veryyyy close no doubt, and we do things together all the time...as all friends do..but is there like a deeper concern? Like are people seeing us as "partners" you think???

Could it be our mannerisms? Is there like a certain way people have to act or something....in order for them not to think you are together??

yeah i was in shock and i told her noo she is my best friend and we're room mates...with this look on my face..didn't know that one was coming...

my best friend is also female just clarify lol

Answer 1

I went through the same thing you did. It kind of gets frustrating. How does your friend react to it? Does your friend go along with it or just gets quiet. Cause my friend at times gave the hint that we were together. Sorry to say that She no longer is my friend cause she was in fact giving hints that we were closer that friends. In order to avoid it talk to your friend and also try not to give certain hints to people when you hang out together. Sometimes people will jump to conclusions due to you hanging out with your friend way too much.

Answer 2

That is a very interesting question to ask someone, but i get why they'd think that. The two of you obviously are very close, and look like you have a very strong bond with each other. The fact that you live together just hints at a stronger relationship b/c best friends don't usually live together (especially if they r opposite sexes).

Maybe you might end up being partners. Don't stress over all this though. :-)

Answer 3

If you and your friend seem inseparable, then that could give rise to the question. But it is actually a rude question that I hope you had wisdom not to deign with an answer. Basically, it's none of her damned business, and I hope you told her so. Sounds like someone was tactless and nosey in the extreme. Don't let a busybody get your goat, and don't worry what people think. If they're that shallow and uninformed, then don't step down to their level by beating yourself up over their insufficiencies. Nuff said?

Answer 4

you know what, i think they are jealous and ignorants, cuz now in days is very hard to have a real best friend, and they don't understand that you can love that friend as much as you can love a sister, sometimes you love that friends more than a sister. the same happen to me, i have this best friend, my only friend, we go out to eat at least once a week, call eachother as many times we can during the week, sometimes we go drink coffee, before she goes to work, and you know what my own sisters are always making jokes about me and her, you know, like if she's my girlfriend and that they saw her talking with another girl, and that i need to tell her that she has to be faithful to me, when i am already married with childrens...........i think that is so stupid, but you know what, i don't think we should change the way we treat eachother only because of what people think.

Answer 5

as you would be seen in a group there would be a chance that ppl might ask you same questions..
I was in the church today and there was a girl, 9 asking one of the guests attended today if they are married or just gf/bf.
though it is not her concern to ask what are the relation of these two teens, it came into her mouth.
they might asked you things like that for curiosity or trying to know you, not really deeper concern or suspicious..

hope this helps...

Answer 6

It is very common for someone to mistake a close friendship as a love partnership. I would answer with something like, "no, we are simply best friends who happen to live together, but if your asking about my sexual preference, I prefer ____ or it's none of your damn business. " Which ever your prefer.

Answer 7

My greatest advice for you is...
Do not spoil your friendship by thinking nonsense !..
Great and true friendship is very hard to be found in todays materialistic world.
Do u live for others or to yourself?...
If u live for yourself....Why for u need to care what they are talking about?...Was it benefits you?...Jus because they have tongue they can talk anyting...But we are a human who have brains should think...Which one is correct and which one is wrong...Take whatever is good and learn forget to remember what is wrong...
Friendship is god's gift....Friends are the person who never expect from you anyting when they do someting for u...
True friends heart really great...
And another thing...Maybe that lady was influenced by today media.As we all knew...Theres lots lesbians and gays outside...Ok...so do not mistaken with her too...
Coincidently she asked you...Maybe...

Answer 8

Well since I am not there to witness it I really can't say. But people always jump to conclusions, I would take it this way at least they didn't say you were. They had the kindness to actually ask you. Instead of assuming.

Answer 9

Why should it matter what they think? Do you have problems with being gay? :P if you dont you shouldn't really care what they think. if anything pass it off as a joke the same way you'd pass it off if someone pointed out a guy friend and aske if u were dating him. why is it any different?

Answer 10

people think that way because they knew that both of you look very good together. do not bother of what people are thinking just enjoy the life you have with your friend. who knows your friend is a God's Gift for you...u.
