No, unless he was your (the guys) friend first. Any guy who wants to be your girlfriends friend is just hanging around until your gone, or he finds an opportunity to sidle his way in. I went through this once, and I won't let it happen again... unless the guy is gay... really, really, really gay.

Yes, it's perfectly normal for people to have good friends of the opposite sex. For a loving relationship to succeed there needs to be mutual trust and the freedom to maintain friendships.
In close friendships it's the friendship that is paramount so the man is very unlikely to jeopardise the friendship for a bit of sex. It's just not worth it.
If one is insecure, distrustful and jealous then the relationship is weakened and this can destroy the relationship in time, not the close friendship as such.

It is way o.k. for a man or woman to have really good friends of the opposite sex.
If you have a partner then there are boundaries you must both acknowledge. The boundaries are not set by you but rather by your partner. If the partner is not comfortable with whomever, you must acknowledge and respect their feelings.. You don't have to change your friendship relationship but your partner does not have to stay in your relationship either.. It's all about being comfortable in life.
Your friends of the opposite sex must acknowledge your partner as the man/woman in your life. If they do not, then it is not o.k. to continue that friendship while you are with that partner. They must respect your partner and by doing that respect your choice to have that partner. For them to do otherwise is disrespectful to you and your partner.

Why not?! My best friend is male and I have known him for over 20 yrs. He and my hisband get on well and when my husband and I have problems my friend is always a great support. My husband's best friend is a woman and we also get on well. He often goes out for a drink with his ex who lives nearby and she babysits for us.
I guess what I am trying to say is that if you are happy and trust your partner then these things are not really an issue. After all if anybody wants to stray they will whether or not they have a female friend or not!

If all of you hang out it would be fine. But if your in a relationship and they hang out by themselves we all know what can happen between two friends of the opposite sex. No matter if the other person says there just friends it is just asking for trouble. I have guy friends but if I had a boyfriend we would have to hang out in a group.

Yes absolutely. All my best friends have been women. That doesn't mean to say that I haven't wanted to have sex with them but it hasn't come up as it were - and that part of the relationship has been acknowledged and accepted.

why wouldn't you? That would be pretty insecure to demand that your partner couldn't have friends of the opposite sex.

Yeah, totally. I live with my boyfriend and his ex. You can usually tell if there is anything there, and if you're sure that there isn't, then its all good. I have loads of 'boy friends', and there is totally nothing going on, I'm just a girl that gets on better with boys than other girls.

No I dont think I'd like it.... in fact I know I wouldn't like it!
Have you ever got close, such as best friends close, with a man that hasn't tried it on?!?!
