so my best friend is a boy. we are extremely close. we're always seen together, so a lot of people think that we go together. when we tell them that we are just friends, they kind of smile and say "okay." some people think that we are friends with benefits. u know..."fuck buddies." that irritates the hell out of me. i dont understand why its so hard to believe that we could just be friends. we've never done anything like that with each other. i will admit that at times we may flirt a little, but we are both flirts so that is to be expected. it never goes past that. i really like my friendship with him because he helps me with my relationships, and i help him with his. he has a girlfriend right now, who doesnt like me by the way, and i help him out when he's having problems with her. i let him know when he's doing something that she would probably get mad about and i try to keep him out of trouble. the only thing that i dislike about his girlfriend is that she seems a little too insecure. she decided that she didnt like me based on the fact that im her boyfriend's female friend. i guess she feels threatened because we are so close and maybe because i am able to spend time with him during the day when she cant because we go to the same school. i have never done anything but try to be nice to her, and its not like he never told her about me. he told her about me in the beginning of the relationship, but im not really worried about it. theres not really anything i can do anyway. i think all these people who are starting rumors that he and i are in a relationship will end up causing problems for us, him especially since he has a girlfriend. its so hard for people to accept a boy/girl friendship without thinking that its more than that. i'll just have to put up with it for now because i cant just give up my friend. let me know ur opinions on this topic. is it not possible for boys and girls to have strictly platonic relationships?
