Are boyfriends just for girls, or can a boy have a boyfriend too?

a boy can have a boyfriend and a girl can have a girlfriend. The term is not limited by the gender of the one or the other person.

Just make sure that you are ready for what people may think if you, as a boy, have a boyfriend. You may be categorized as gay. The same applies for women having girlfriends. They may likely be called lesbians.

Other than assigning names, nothing prevents you from having a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

The difference may be substantial in the way people understand if you mention that you have a boy friend or a girl friend. Those terms signify that you have either a male or a female friend.

are boys with boyfriends seen as girly or feminine?

[Tharithi]

Obviously u can be gay

[SueShe]

That is one of the possibilities, yes.

[Asker]

it seems like having a boyfriend is more of a girl thing. so a boy with a boyfriend will probably be seen as girly, and probably feminine in other ways too.
