Answer 1

yes u can, but keep your girl on a higher level, constantly reassure her of her position in your life, and don't flirt with a female friend, not even as a joke

Answer 2

Basically, the boundaries need to be well-defined. I've some very good female friends that are not 'girlfriends', but I'll admit that sometimes I've wondered if I should take the relationship another step. After all, if they're an awesome friend, wouldn't they be an awesome girlfriend? If you develop a close non-romantic relationship with a girl, just try to value her friendship for what it is worth, because pursuing a deeper relationship might drive you apart unnecessarily.

If you don't take these cautions, trust me, one of the two of you will eventually be having thoughts about taking the relationship to another level. If you're worried about her doing this, make sure she understands you are only looking for friendship in her. Good luck!

Answer 3

A FRIEND is a friend; and it is not based on their gender.. male or female or even a horse or dog/cat or donkey---the only way to have a relationship (a real one) is with TRUST equally between the ones involved---as to HOW friendly can it get that will depend on the individuals involved.. and WHAT the consequences could/can be because of the friendliness

Answer 4

All relationships should be based solely on trust. With that out of the way...most men are not capable of having female friends because they are always trying to manipulate the friendship in a way that will eventually have him sleeping with his friend. Men tend to think with their small head and can't be trusted to be alone with any other female who is not blood related (sister, Mother) to them. if your man is the exception...It comes down to how much you trust his female friend and how secure you are in your relationship.

Answer 5

Okay, it seems to be a big thing to a woman if a guy has woman friends... but if the females the guy is hanging out with know he's with someone and are respectable then there should be no problems. Unless of course the woman the guy is with has been cheated on before, then there is a whole new subject to touch on, Its called psychotherapy.

Answer 6

Why shouldn't the man be able to have female friends. My husband has women friends as well as I having male friends. We know and trust one another and certainly don't cheat. You say, How Do I know????? There is this thing called TRUST. If you don't have it, then you really don't need the relationship

Answer 7

relationships are built on trust so It is OK to have Friends of the opposite sex, but it's not OK if that person spends more time with them than they do their partner.. I have Friends that are girls and they are the biggest reason I'm married, it's because they were there for me, edging me on to find love. I still talk with them but my wife is my life now and I refuse to go with out her, but my Friends are there for me as well and I for them.
as Friends we talk about problems and yet we cry with each other for no reason, (we) are that close. if you try to control your partner in that then you can give them a reason to cheat, (not that they would) but the idea is there. it is also good when your other half includes you in the get together functions you and your Friends do, that way you aren't being left out, or feeling lost. it can also be good if your other half is hugging on you and not a friend unless that person is feeling hurt or down.

Answer 8

Honestly from personal experience no. It causes too many problems. Girls are viscious, trust me I know! If your friends with a girl and in a relationship and the girl your friends with cant help but like you she will do anything and everything possible to hook up with you and no they dont care if you are in love with your girlfriend! I know this cuz me and my boyfriend were in a very serious relation ship and I never wanted anyone else but him but he became really good friends with my best friend and ended up liking her and she liked him next thing i know he's telling me he doesnt love me anymore and runs after her...and yes she hooked up with him...thats why I say girls are vicious there is no way it would work!

Answer 9

Yes I think they can.. But if it turns to flirting or gifts being bought or anything sexual then time to call it quits... Trust is an issue, but as soon as they break that trust it is gone. Talking on the phone and going out is okay with them as long as your partner is with you and you are not hiding anything... believe me women can tell when a man is hiding something.. we have a 6th sense on these things

Answer 10

Every relationship must be based on trust. Every relationship must be based on respect. Whether it's ok for each of you to have friends of the opposite sex depends on the friends and how you behave with the friends. If you or your girlfriend behave in a manner that creates distrust or allows the friends to behave in a manner that is disrespectful to your relationship, then it won't work. If you can't be as tolerant and welcoming of her opposite sex friendships as she is of yours, then something needs to change. It might be that one of you is not the best match for the other. You're afraid of cheating. That's a whole other issue that you need to work on; that's your problem not hers.

Answer 11

Yes, but anyone who is in a relationship and wants exclusive time with friends of the opposite sex who are not relatives should expect their partner to be unhappy with it. If you have nothing to hide then don't hide anything. Once your partner sees how you behave around certain members of the opposite sex they may not feel threatened when they can't be there when you are around them. Trust needs to be earned. It should not be assumed that people are trustworthy when the issue is of great importance to you unless they have proven trustworthiness before.
