i thought we were a little past this, but apparently not. first, let me start by saying my best friend of around 8 years is male. we've pretty much been accused of sleeping together since day one (we never have.. sure had the opportunity, but NEVER have).. second, a lot of my friends are male..and again, when i say friends that's what they were... but apparently, by me hanging out with a guy or talking to them it is automatically implied that we are screwing around. is society still really stuck in the age where a guy and girl can not talk or hang out or be friends w/o having a sexual relationship?? obviously is has a baring on romantic relationships as well, as the jealousy thing kicks in when they think you've been with this person or that person..so what gives??

I've pondered on this question myself. I get on well with women and even took one of my best friends on my stag weekend (everyone said we were at it) I think it's always good to get a woman's perspective on things.
On the other hand I think there might always be that "Spark" or one person likes the other person more than just a friend and is just waiting for the opportunity. As you say you have had the opportunity which means unfortunately the sex part does come into it at some point.
As long as the human race procreates I think men & women will always find it hard just to be friends.

No, of course not. I'm "just friends" with tons of guys, and I wouldn't consider going out with a good 90% of them. The possibility of a relationship is usually taken into consideration at first, but it doesn't last very long most of the time.

thisis a hard question! Mybest friends tend to be female and thats because I enjoy their company. I can see that in general other people think it wrong, I dont subscribe to this. Trust is a valuable part of any relationship. Your partner should trust you. It would be a sad world if we were not allowed to be friends with who we choose.

i think that when you have a significant other & its serious you have to drop friends if they interfere with the relationship. it's a matter of choosing what's more important. a life-long comitment or high school immaturity friendshiips thast leave when no more attention is given to them. if you're single then have whatever friends you want & if you're gonna listen to those around critising then you aren't paying attention to your friendships

Good question.....not sure...I have a lot of guy friends too and my boyfriend told me that if my best friend (male) of 15 years came back to chicago and stayed with me he would be forced to think that it was a sign from God that we not meant to be together anymore...ABSURD!!!!
