Best Friends or More?
| Thu, 09-04-2008 - 3:09pm |
This man has a girl best friend who calls her his little sister, who have been best friends for about 5 years, they spend alot of time together, they go out together, movies, he goes to her house, she knows his family and he knows hers, and they have been on vacations together. He is dating someone else right now and she doesn't really like this person, it seems that way but never has been confirmed. His other close friend (a guy) has said that she is one of the "boys" and that they are close. My questions are this, do you think that a man and woman can be best friends like that and never cross the line? Is it possible? Do you think friends like this would chance things and mess up a good friendship? Should the person that he is dating be concerned? Or is it just her insecurities? I am just curious about your thoughts on close friendships between man and woman. Thanks.

It is definitely possible to have male female relationships that remain platonic, where the two remain good friends and do not cross the line. Even though there are warm feelings between the two in such a case, these are feelings of friendship, not sexual attraction or romance. There's nothing to worry about. The more a person trusts her partner, the more space she can give him, and then when things are good, the closer the two can become.
Best wishes,
