Do you have a best friend of the opposite sex?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I've already talked about my deputy, and she's the best friend I have. I remember we had met back when we were writing articles for the provincial ebdomadario (a weekly publication) and we hit it off right away. She always supported me in everything - from cowriting articles and correcting and proofreading my publications, to supporting my campaign, the first one to congratulate me on my marriage, to become my running mate during the elections, to being the first woman after my wife to hold my daughter, and the best support when my father passed on. She's always available to help me in everything and doing anything for me, and I feel thankful and extremely lucky for such a friendship.

What about you?

[kmg9150]

Yeah she ended up have this huge crush on me. Known one another for about 25 years. Dont know when the crush started but she turned on me and sabotaged my last relationship (we all knew one another from grade school. She went as far as trying to convince me about not clearing my name on legal matters against false statements. Got mad because I used a message as evidence, she didn't want to get involved in legal matters between me and my ex (wonder why... jk) but if she did because of me she would make sure they determine im crazy and admit me to the ward... insane my friend became closer to my ex, her rival so to speak, appearing as a friend with caring information.

What a surprise to find you here. Let’s clear the air here before you pop off saying things that aren’t true. And I come with receipts. 1) Never in my 37 years of existence have I EVER had a crush on you. 2) I will never have a crush on you and my memory is still VERY VERY good, I hated you growing up. That wasn’t a crush. I should have went with my instinct then and stuck with that so that’s my mistake and now I’m learning from that. You want to come on here. Another platform for sympathy bc you didn’t get any from anywhere else or from any of MY friends you messaged. As far as your “ex” aka my “rival” 🤣🤣😂 it just goes to show you still can’t let a dead horse rest. You need professional help. I will stand by that until I see you get it, and then learn to make amends and apologize. Which even then I still would never have a “crush” on you. I’m fucking 37 if I don’t want to be involved in a situation I won’t be. Please seek professional help. Signed off- Elizabeth.

This only works when you are single and your friend is single. If either of you gets married, you will not be permitted to be friends. I have had several single female friends who were dating guys that I knew and the guys were also friends of mine. I never dated the woman. However, when they got married, the guy friend (now the husband) would ask me to not answer invitations for lunch from their wife. I guess they thought I would fuck his wife now that she was his property but when she was single and available, I didn't have any plans to fuck her so he didn't have any need to warn me to not respond to her lunch invitation.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

We are both married and no issue of the like ever arose. Must be awful to live in such backwards environments.

[SecretsofKB]

I do have a best friend that's a guy. We met during our freshman year of college during a group project. We just had the same sense of humor and we were best friends by the end of the semester.

I lived with him and another friend after college for a few years. He's always gotten along with my partners in the past. He's been there and supported me through some stressful times. And I fully intend for him to stand up with me in my future wedding.

[LovingLoverReturned]

If you mean in the sense of having more than one best friend. I do have female best formed s and male best friends. There is no guy I do everything with though. But they are true friends and in that sense best.

[LovingLoverReturned]

Friends*

[Ευδεμονια]

I have! She was my best friend and my crush years and years ago and we lost sight after I declared my sentiments. We restored our friendship last year and we returned best friends. We share a lot of common thoughts and support a lot each other, but I’m sure now there’s no sentiments coming from any part.

[Wade12345]

It's pretty much impossile or that to happen without one or the other or both developing a crush on one another, and then if you try to act upon that you'll either get accepted or rejected. I got rejected by a very close friend one time. It sucked pretty bad I guess.

You know, well, her loss. I figure it just means God has somebody better for me.

[globetrotter22]

It’s very difficult albeit impossible to have a opposite gender best friend if your both straight. It requires both of you not to have any attraction to the point of jealously.

I have had only one long term platonic female friend. Known her for over 15 years. But we have recently fallen out of touch.

[exitseven]

I did. We hung out all the time. We always had fun and we could just sit an talk about the shitty things that were going on in our lives. We used to get confused about each other but we never got confused at the same time. She went away to graduate school and we never saw each other after that.`

[NewsReader]

I don't have any true friends. Only a few that I see for one day at work every couple of weeks. Sometimes less. But I never hang out or talk to them outside of work.

[clampfan101]

I’ve had various female friends throughout my life. Ones offline were friends of the family, making them almost feel like cousins.

(Girls also often feel like better listeners. lol)

Purely casual friendships. I’ve only had one girlfriend girl friend. (But she passed away, so I need to look again…)

[OlderAndWiser]

I have had female platonic friends in the past but I do not have a female best friend at present. However, my male best friend has known me since 1971 and his wife has been my friend since their wedding in 1985.

[Pinay_ako]

Yes I had more than 1 growing up. unfortunately, they always end up becoming more than friends and feelings will develop… But they were all amazing 💕

[katestar]

Really? That's awesome to know.

[BlueScorpio]

No not really, never had many super close male friends. It's just something that never occurred, now I speak to men in a friendly manner but that's it.

[Jamie05rhs]

I have some really good friends of the opposite sex. My BEST friend is a fellow brother, though!

[Idkwtfimdoing96]

I've made 1 on here. I did have 1 irl but now I don't (ngl he was nice but his presence was annoying asf and he was so touchy yk that I had to drop him lmao)

[Idkwtfimdoing96]

he made me extremely uncomfortable with all the touching

[Dinklex3]

Yes, I have 3 that I absolutely adore.

One, I met in highschool when I was 15.

The other 2, I met in Alaska ❤

[HippieVeganJewslim]

My Flower Girl is my best friend and best comrade with no further introduction. She’s my sister of different parents. Actually, Her mum says that I’m her son, because my Flower Girl and I are siblings. She lives overseas.

[mobiusforniner]

Did. We developed feelings. And now we are exs. No such thing as best friends between guys and girls.

[Texasgal95]

Yes Me and my boyfriend both have friends of the opposite gender and we’re just at nothing more

[Literalbillionaire17]

Yes. I’m not attracted to him at all though and we have been friends a rlly long time so it still works

[katestar]

I know what you mean. About not attracted to him. He being your friend.

[idk87334F]

Nope. I've never had a male best friend. I don't even have any male friends lol

[ethanallen]

I am so sorry to hear this. When I was a teenager, I was very socially awkward and nerdy. I outgrew that by the time I was sixteen but i was always grateful for the sincere friendship of the women in my class. I lived in a small town and didn't have the confidence to date women. Instead, we belonged to social organizations (civic groups and church groups and high school extracurricular groups). Through my group networks I had wonderful female friendships.

[HaveNoName]

Question arises, Girl X might consider Boy X her one best friend; the vice versa may not be true. Perhaps Girl X is just a good friend. Are they considered best friends?

[ManOnFire]

Yes, I do. She and I are tight like glue. More than any other friend I've had.

[FilmGuy93]

No, but I would love to. I think women make good friends.
