My male best friend and I have known each other since we were 12, and we both happen to be foreigners in the country we’re living in (I’m from Switzerland, and he’s from India). We’re super close and talk about anything and everything. My boyfriend doesn’t care about it, but he still says that my best friend is just “waiting for his turn with me.” However, he trusts me, and I’m happy, so it’s cool. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a best friend of the opposite gender. I also read a thread on another site about it, and opinions were mixed, so I’m curious what you think.

    If you were single, and you said to best friend “Hey im totally into you and want to get together” would he say “no no no, I think of you like a sister”?

    Pretty safe to say the answer is no.

    That being the case, is what you have really a friendship, or something else?
