So this male “friend” claims that he totally respects that you have a boyfriend and that he likes the guy, but he never invites him along. He invites you, alone, to parties, or to the movies, or to help him pick out clothes, or to have dinner. I understand you can have a one-on-one friendship with a guy but, if you have a boyfriend, your friend should invite him along sometimes.

He hasn’t shown interest in getting to know your boyfriend. If you guys hang out, he leaves the second your boyfriend shows up. That’s probably because he’d feel guilty about his feelings for you, if he befriended your man.

Your boyfriend probably expects you to talk to your female besties about your sex life. That being said, he doesn’t really want you talking to your male best friend about your sex life. Most men don’t want another man knowing the details of something that intimate.

Some sort of spaz out and don’t know how to behave. They’ll call and ask if you want to go to lunch or to the movies—something you’ve done hundreds of times before together—but they’ll add, “Just as friends.” Yeah—you had no question about that.

What better source to turn to about men than the men closest to you?

Do you have more guy friends than girlfriends?

I know that somewhere deep down inside of us, we think that if we stick long enough with a decent guy, who says that he is not ready for a relationship, and provide for him the compassion, understanding and in some cases, physical affection he needs, he will turn around and profess his love to you.
