Can you be friends with another man?

It depends on the situation. Does it seem innocent or does there seem to be something fishy going on. If he has a casual lunch with his longtime female friend it may be innocent. If he is going out to romantic dinners with "a friend" this might be strange. It also depends on the type of relationship that you have with her. Does he hide her from you, or are the three of you open and friendly with one another. Just make sure he is not using the word "friends" as an excuse to cheat.

I believe absolutely that the man you are dating can have friends that are women....as long as you trust him. If there isn't trust...then there's no relationship.
The only exception would be second chances. If you are trying to make things work then opposite sex friendships should be put on hold until things are steady and trustworthy. Otherwise...it should be an innocent until proved guilty situation.

Absolutely, why not? As long as it's purely platonic and the friendship isn't placed above the relationship. You can't keep your boyfriend or girlfriend on such a short leash, everybody has the right to friends no matter what sex.

I think its ok as long as you dont get any weird vibes that there may be something else going on. Hang out with your man and some of his girl friends to see if he flirts with them. If they flirt with each other then i would say NO WAY!

Depends on alot of factors..I trust him so thats not my concern but she is..
Is she willing to be friends with me as well?Is she imposing on our relationship?Is she friendly towards my man or flirty?..These can influence my thoughts on the situation..

Yes. I trust him and don't have a problem with him being friends with other women.

Why not? Women love my husband because he is such a likable guy. I am proud when other women tell me how much they love my husband. He makes them laugh, he makes them feel good, he brightens up their day. I have a wonderful man who I can be proud of wherever we go.

That depends on the woman.

Depends on how close of "friends" they are.
