Not at all. You will get a lot of people insisting that this is not necessarily wrong, but rather impossible. I spent most of my life with all my close friends being guys. In some cases, it was impossible to be just friends, but other times we had the best friendships and NEVER any of that sexual mixed up stuff (and no, it wasn't because we were both unnattractive). It depends on nothing more that you and your friend. ...But... since you're asking this is the marriage and divorce section I thought I would bring this up: if this relationship is interferring with another, marriage-like relationship, it's time to consider some open communication and make sure you really mean a nonsexual friendship is what this friendship is and where it is going to stay.

There is nothing wrong with having a close friend of the opposite sex.
I've been there and here are some reasons.
1) It's nice to have a person of the opposite sex as a friend for a sounding board. For instance, when I wanted a male perspective on a guy I was dating, I would get his opinion.
2) In my case, my friend and I knew right off the bat that we had no hope of any type of romantic relationship (he hated kids for one thing and I wanted kids). But we enjoyed a lot of the same activities, so it was nice to have a friend to hang around with.
3) There is absolutely no valid reason to complicate a friendship with sex, especially if you are not attracted in that way.
Drawbacks - when you go someplace with your friend, be prepared that people will think you are a couple. Even if you say you are just friends. The matchmakers will also try to repeatedly fix you up. And if potential dates see you with the guy, they will think you are involved with someone else and they may not be as willing to ask you out.

No. I have had a great friendship with a guy for 15 years and it has work great. We are now married to other people and we are still great friends, there was never other interest between us than real friendship and we are like sister and brother. We go out together and have a lot of fun. It doesn't always work fine but it is possible.

Of course not.
Some people have close nonsexual MARRIAGES with someone of the opposite sex. I figure a friendship is cool too.

Its not wrong, just "different".
This type of friendship is much easier for girls than guys. To a guy, a female friend can be a friend only if she is not sexually desirable. A girl who is fat, smelly, ugly, stupid, they make good friends for a guy. But if she is worth anything, they'd like to jump her bones too!
Its much easier for girls. If you're a girl, just remember this.

it depends on things like, are you marreid? and if so, do either of your partners mind the relationship? and would you do or say anything that your partners might not approve of?
