{What is your opinion on your mate having opposite sex friendships?}
A) I believe that both partners should have and actively pursue opposite sex friendships.
B) I'm comfortable with a few well-established opposite sex friendships.
C) I don't mind opposite sex friends for my mate as long as I'm included in the socializing.
D) I would probably be uncomfortable with my mate having opposite sex friendships.
It's the first time I received this question and I actually had to take some time to think about it. In my last relationship I didn't allow enough time for my own friendships. I invested time in him and his friends {of both sexes}. However, he didn't have too many {if any} female friends that didn't come with a significant other {and the significant other was usually his friend in the first place}. Am I a jealous person by nature? Am I comfortable with my S.O. having good female friends? If they have boyfriends {or girlfriends I suppose} would that make me more comfortable? Can single women and single men really be friends?

| Are there really no strings attached? Fun Fact: After seeing this movie, I considered going to med school. Natalie Portman made it look fun. |
{And finally went with B.} What do you think?
Happy virtual dating!

Opposite sex friendships is always a hot button topic! I’ve definitely had my concerns about them in the past, but as we get more mature (not older!) I think those insecurities go away. B & C are good answers, but C sounds a little insecure – in my opinion. Good choice with B!
ReplyDeleteHi Allison. Thanks for commenting! I think you're right that was we get more mature and comfortable in our relationships, opposite sex friendships aren't as threatening. I'll let you know how things pan out with this potential lover boy. xoxo Elle
