No


I am and should be his ONLY best friend and I wouldn't even allow it


I've experienced it before with an ex. It was hard, but knowing both of them made it easier. With her, I trust her and I know she won't do anything with anyone else. I get jealous, but will be easier once we no longer have the "LDR" above our head.


I trust him. He's very honest.


Having friends that are of the opposite gender is fine with me because I have many as well. Being attracted to someone is another story and would be disrespectful to me and I couldn't tolerate that.


Depends on a friend. Ok, but I still feel something inside.


She says she is a lesbian. I have to say that I trust her more with females than males. Men are just shady, and she can be vulnerable to them. Screw that. Besides, there are blogs, scientific research, etc... that states there is a very small chance of a female and a male being good friends unless the male is gay, that is. Look it up!


Though I trust him, I won't let that happen. He's mine


She's extremely trustworthy, however most men aren't. Some guys she knows I do trust, others I don't.

Well everyone else is saying it so I don't feel as bad; no.


I don't think she has any to be honest


Fabulous! All for it! He thinks guys/chicks can't just be friends... I'm not so sure though..
As long as secrets aren't kept or uh, information left out on those friends.... Uh huh!


Well, when he's telling me about his day or a friend of his, I can't help but think "HOW DARE THEY TALK TO MY BOYFRIEND?!" But my vocal reaction happens to be more like "Yes, yes, very interesting. Go on".

So, yeah, I'm the jealous type.
For the record you are my best friend and I'm not attracted to my close friends lol
