Elle {Poses} a Question to Readers


Tonight a match requested communication with me and this was one of his questions:
{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?
Does this eventually happen with all M & F friends?
Fun fact: I have those sheets but no, those aren't my feet.

Are there really no strings attached?
Fun Fact: After seeing this movie, I considered going to med school.
Natalie Portman made it look fun.

Can you guess what I answered? I struggled between B & C.
{And finally went with B.} What do you think?

Happy virtual dating!
xoxo,
Elle
