I relate better with them since I'm a big ole tomboy. And we are JUST friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-373621 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:27:31 +0000 Meridian 373621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should also mention that DH and I merged friends, so he's now good friends with my guy friends. My guy BFF was even one of his groomsmen (at my request, since I had his sister as a BM, haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-373604 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:24:53 +0000 autumnlove 373604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, lots of guy friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-373601 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:24:22 +0000 chopsuey 373601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to.<br /> Now I have a handful of galpals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-373140 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:27:22 +0000 PurplePumps 373140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I'm in a male dominated field so I many of my friends and acquaintances are male. One of my closest friends of over 10 years is male. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-372939 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:27:54 +0000 yoursilverlining 372939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few really close guy friends and DH's BFF of over 20 years is a woman. And yes, men and women can be just friends :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-372924 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:22:02 +0000 mrsjyw 372924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of guys friends! Many of them are like brothers to me, grew up in the same church, and really close friends with my brother too.</p> <p>DH isn't TOO fond of my bff from middle/high school -- but he would never tell me not be friend with him! We get dinner/coffee whenever he's in town or I'm in Chicago visiting girlfriends! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-372881 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:11:49 +0000 SugarplumsMom 372881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best guy friend has been distant since I got with DH =/ I've known his for years and we've been there for each other through all sorts of life changes. I even hooked him up with his now ex-wife! And I was in his wedding! We've only ever just been platonic friends. I was his "wingman" at the clubs and whenever I was feeling crappy we'd go and eat spicy food and get hammered. I miss that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-372878 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:11:29 +0000 mjane 372878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but they are mostly gay... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-372865 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:06:38 +0000 MamaMoose 372865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have guy friends at work. Outside of my office the only guys I'm friends with are halves of our couple friends. I don't have a single guy friend that I'm close enough with that we would do something like go grab dinner without our significant others. But hubs wouldn't have a problem with it if I did. We just happen to live in a city that we moved to together so most of the people we know here are people we met together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-372855 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:02:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 372855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore... it's something DH is not comfortable with so those relationships slowly died off after DH and I got engaged. </p> <p>There was one guy I was BFF's with since we were 13 and even liked each other for awhile... but when I dated his cousin our relationship was never the same (being BFFs, he was REALLY protective of me and really contested the relationship). His cousin and I broke up after a year, and our relationship was never the same. We still communicate every now and then and he'll always be a true friend - but he's married, I'm married so it's not as appropriate for us to talk unless our spouses are with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-many-friends-of-the-opposite-sex#post-372850 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:56:17 +0000 Meridian 372850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And can you be JUST friends?</p> <p>My BFF is a friend from college, we've been friends for about 12 years! We don't talk nearly as often as we used to (he's still single and un-attached), but I still consider him my bff. I also have a number of good guy friends, and then befriend their significant others. </p>
