So long as that is all they are. The moment that any flirting starts to occur or either of the "friends" starts to think about the other in a more than friendly way then it's time to say goodbye to them.
Sometimes if you're married and your significant other is particularly insecure it could be easier just to not go there at all as sad as it may be.
Good luck to you.

There is nothing wrong with a married person having friends of the opposite sex. If you trust your spouse completely, and you know that they would never do anything to hurt you, then why on earth is it necessary to try to dictate who they can and cannot be friends with? That whole mentality annoys me.. It really does. And sadly, a LOT of people assume that if a married person has friends of the opposite sex, that they must be fooling around. Well, that's ridiculous!
Mind you, if the friendship starts to take too much of the persons time, or they start to act differently, then there is a possibility that there could be a problem forming. However, just a simple friendship should not be an issue.
Trust is important in a marriage, and if you can't trust your spouse to be friends with someone, without it turning into something more, then it sounds like the marriage was in trouble.. long before the friend ever came along.
One of my dearest friends is a guy I met online. I've known him for nearly 5 years now.. and he's become like family to us (my husband and I). My husband trusts me, and he knows there would never be anything weird going on.. Most of my close friends are guys, as I just get along better with them than with girls. I just don't deal with the constant crap that so many girls try to start. But it doesn't matter who I choose to be friends with, cause my husband knows that I love him and that I would never ever do anything to jeopardize our relationship.
So yes, it is absolutely fine to have females as friends. As long as you go about it in the right mindset.. it shouldn't be a problem.
Well, that's how I feel about that! Have a nice day!

If you are married this could be dangerous. If all you want from a girl or woman is friendship then this might lead to heartache because of expectations. When a man or woman want to be friens that usually means there is some intrest, and that intrest might not be what the other person wants. So the bottom line is it is not a good idea! You will find that special person who will be YOUR BEST FRIEND! Don't give up, ok.

Not in my world...or I should say, not in my wife's world.
Wish it was...wish it was.
Good luck with that.
