casinogirl: My best friend is a male, we have been friends for 3 yrs and go out and talk about everything. Just as if we were best girlfriends. I was dating a guy who said he didnt like the fact that I had "jim" as a friend and I spent to much time with him. Even though I told him we were best friends nothing more. Well I dropped the guy I was dating. I have started talking with another man and told him my best friend was a male and he said he didnt like that either. Should I leave this part of my life out?
I'd never drop a best friend - any woman who claimed to love me couldn't if she didn't accept my friends as an important part of my life........ I have so few friends anyway that they are VERY precious to me.
My best friend is a woman - she likes to tell me all her boyfriend problems, and occasionally tells me what a complete twat I've been in the past........ which is 'ok' when true!
She once told me (a few years back) that she refused to put up any more girlfriends of mine I'd split up with who used to come over to the UK to visit me! Oh well, that was kinda sad - but believe it'll never happen again.........
