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? confused

If a guy can't accept that you have a male friend, then he isn't ready to accept you for who you are.

Thanks for the male opinion on this , I also agree that I should keep my friend but so far it has seemed to cause problems.

Just a matter of finding a man that is secure with himself and doesn't have the insecurities of a little boy.

Do what u want. If he can not take it, then too bad for him. Or just don't tell him and date more than one guy. Who cares what people think.

A 'real' best friend would not ask you to choose between them and your partner.

I agree ,my best friend Andy is male (obviously laugh) we grew up together and have shared most of the things we have went through in life "kids being born ,new jobs ,new dogs" so if i was asked to choose -like you - i would do exactly the same wine

Something could have happened in the past, might be worth asking why.

Only saying that because I've said the 'Of course I trust you with him' and then paid the price for it.

I believe that ANYONE who would ask you to not see your bestfriend(be it male or female)has very low self-esteem and they should get their own life, not worry about yours. I wold NOT drop my best friend for anyone........ever.hug

Yeah you need to find a secure man, but why not date your best friend you already get along together and probably make a perfect couple, good romances start out as best friends, just a thoughtcomfort

Exactly. If this friendship were going to be anything more than that, it would have by now. I have a few close male friends, and any man I'm romantically involved with has to accept this as well.

Only an insecure person gets jealous of a friendship with the other gender that was already in place before their advent into one's life.
