Best friends of the opposite sex.

This really annoys me. I have one, he's like my brother, I share everything with himand my other friends (who are girls) always question our friendship.

"Will you date him?"
"No."
"Ever?"
"No."
"Like ever, ever?"
*rage*

Now, this brings me to the question; do you have a best friend of the opposite sex?

If so, do you get those stupid questions like me?

So are you going to date him

Most of the friends I have had are of the opposite sex as guys typically annoy me. The question comes up but never bothered me and the answer was always no

Not so much anymore, but in high school I did. It really is hard to have a close friendship with someone of the opposite sex without at least one person developing some sort of feelings for the other. Whether it be emotional, sexual or both. I'm not saying it's impossible or anything, but I can understand why a lot of people would get that idea :P

Oh, this makes me think of When Harry Met Sally. I absolutely LOVE that movie!

yes i do. and im asked nearly daily if i do "things" with her. and for a few years people have asked why the hell we dont just date.

Have you tried viewing it from their point of view?v13_KiiLtz

Yes, he's a childhoof friend. I hate those kind of questions.

I know what you mean. 2 out of my 4 best friends are guys and whenever I'm talking to one of them people are all "ZOMG ARE YOU GOING OUT??!!!111!!!one!!!eleven!!!!???

There's a good reason for people asking you these questions. No matter how much you want to believe you think of a member of the opposite sex as just a friend, the male will ALWAYS at least consider you in the back of his mind as someone he'd want to date. Even if the guy won't ever actually ask the girl out, they at least think about occasionally.

I've never had that issue when it comes to friends that are girls.

Edit: the sibling aspect doesn't help with it being 'just friends'. Some guys treat girls they like as sisters, protecting them in a hostile situation, having close ties, elevating themselves mentally to a state where they can talk to a girl they like without fear.

he totally wants to date you (or will at some point in the future)

I used to to have a best friend of the opposite sex up until I tried to date her. We have had a falling out since then though. We still see each other once in a while, but it's not the same.

I wish.

I have a few close friends of the opposite sex. Some that I have known since first grade. Only once did I have a problem with the boyfriend of one of them (senior year of HS) because he could not accept the fact that a guy and a girl CAN be just friends.

hell i have a couple of good friends that are girls but like some1 said its hard not to develop feelings for some1 that close and all i see as just friends except one who i just really really like her you know just her smile............

oh dear

No. but i havent got many friends of the same sex either :P

I never had close friends like that in real life.

My cousin has a friend like that though.
Him and the girl have known eachother for years. Apparently they have even slept practically naked in the same bed before, but they have never done anything, not even kissed.

I do, but I don't have many girl-friends as of recently because I go to an all boy high school.

My best friend in the world is a girl.

We never considered dating until something that a few friends know about.

We stopped being friends, and now we're friends again. (:

I have two other best friends that are girls, and I have never thought of them as nothing more than a friend.

One of my good friends is a girl, yes. I don't get asked if I'd date her because my friends know the answer is already yes, I'd give it a go. :lol:

I don't know how it is for everyone, but for me, if I like a girl enough to be her friend, I probably like her enough to date.
