Re: Can Men And Women Just Be Good Friends?

A lady knows she has a good male friend, if, she can sit on his lap, and doesn't need to mention the first thing that "Pops Up".

Re: Can Men And Women Just Be Good Friends?

I have 2 male friends
One is an ex-boyfriend from a loooong time ago
The other a colleague

I value their friendship and advice because they are honest and their opinions differ from female friends'

But I have an inkling...
that if ever I offered to take things along a more physical/sexual route...
that they would oblige!

Re: Can Men And Women Just Be Good Friends?

It happens sometimes, doesn't it, you think you're just mates and out of the blue they make a move. Maybe I'm just bad at seeing the signs.
I remember one work colleague, we'd been mates, allies and had a good laugh together for years, then out of the blue, he asked for something more.
When I gave him a good telling off...."God man, we're in our fifties, both married, love our partners, have families, homes, a life, you know my husband, what were you thinking?".......he just replied sheepishly that he thought it would be rather nice!

Did it change your relationship you knowing he has designs on you?

Re: Can Men And Women Just Be Good Friends?

I had two male friends for many years and they were just friends, nothing more. I valued their friendship as much as female friends.
However first one then the other met a woman, romantically, and both times the women objected to him having female friends and demanded it end.
How sad.

I agree it must have upset you, and for that I am sorry for you.

Yes, I wasn't so relaxed around him any more, less off colour banter and joking around, in case he took it as an invitation.

Now I'm retired, I only see him with his wife, as part of a couple and he's more my husband's mate.
