I'd have to say this works well if the best friend is your partner ;) But it's also understanding that this can be the case, not all women or men get along so well with other women or men. A platonic friendship with a member of the opposite sex is possible and shouldn't matter. Of course this is also dependent on trust and it sure helps if you're all friends.
I could see it making me uncomfortable. I would have to know the person and their relationship
Pues no le conozco a la que podria ser pero cuando la conozca lo sabre
Si yo se que me respeta y esta la relacion de tal manera que ella tambien me denote respeto

In the past my partner has had close friends that were women & it's worked out. They've been more than welcoming about our relationship & I love his friends.
Bien! no me genera ruido.. ni tantito aun sabiendo que la acosa y demás... no sé... se me hace algo a lo cual no se debe de tener miedo sino respeto.. y paciencia.. conocerlo bien para poder saber y claro siempre eestar al pendiente y cuidar a mi mujer es prioridad esté con quien esté ya sea su mejor amigo -que ahi me tiene mas trankilo- a que si está con alguien que no conozco. ;)
I'm not down. It never works out like that. Either One has a motive.. They've fooled around... One cares about the other more... Unless they are siblings/cousins/family.. It's not appropriate to have a best friend of the opposite gender because your best friend is supposed to be your significant other... No competition
Not okay.
Sounds good to me as long as it is second best, I want to be the best friend.
It's how they act. If everything is secretive or they only get together when you're not around then I wouldn't be ok with it.
It's ok for me, feels like it's normal, unless she is his ex- girlfriend...
I am not comfortable with it because my partner has cheated and proves himself to be untrustworthy. this has actually damaged our marriage
I don't really like the idea but it all goes back to trust...
I don't think I'd be ok with that..
I don't have a problem with it if I know them if it is someone I feel gets to clingy it's for a reason and I express the way I feel about It to her.
As long as there is open communication with one another and guidelines on what is and isn't allowed in that relationship then it is.. A compromise/understanding.
