Well... my friendship with my best guy friend started off as.. well we actually
started off as enemies! ^-^'' He was sooo annoying to me and actually
accidentally started a rumour about me.. (he stopped supporting the rumour, but
others continued it... it's still going on a bit )
Anyways, I guess the turning point came when one day, a friend of mine invited
me to her conversation with him, so all three of us were all talking over the
computer... we talked about some life stuff, like growing up and our
childhoods... and at that moment, I started feeling different... Instead of
anger and annoyance, I felt sympathy and understanding for him.
Then, well, he added me on his contacts list, and we started talking more. At
first, we mainly talked about really normal, general things, like which anime
had the best music and such.
A little later, we started talking about deeper, more serious subjects. We
always talk role-play style, so in our imagination, we would be talking to
eachother in the setting we were in, even though we were really sitting in front
of our computers typing^^ [we still do this too! =)] It's really
nice...
We talk about things like our lives, our parents, growing up... , pressure,
depression.. all that, and all the normal everyday stuff as well.
We tell eachother our secrets.. he's told me things he'd never tell anyone else.
He is the only person whom I show my weak side to..
He helped me when I was getting over my ex-bf. He's always there to cheer me up
and I'll forever be here for him..
So now, we are as close as a guy and a girl possibly can be as friends. We
completely understand and care for eachother too... it's almost like I never
knew what real friendship is, until I met him, and he said that I am his first
real friend as well.
We even plan on visiting some places together! ^^ And we both plan to study
overseas in Japan when we're older...
I really hope we can be friends for if not forever, just a long, long time. Even
if we grow further apart later on, I'll be happy knowing that I knew him, and
that I was blessed to have him as a friend.
Aww... Thats sweet. Yah, one of my best friends is a guy. Acctully, a good
percent of my friends are guys. There is nothing wrong with being friends with
them. I mean there humans to. We just have xx(I think?) chromosomes(sp?) and
they have xy(I think).
*Smile* Its good to have freinds of diferent genders. That way you meet lots
more people...
Yeah, I've got relationships like the one you have with your friend, though I've
never started off as an enemy of any of my friends.
Two of my best friends, Heather and Lyndsay, live in different states, yet the
three of us intend on living together (or close to one another), going to Japan
together, going to Europe together, and starting our own rock band. They've
known each other online for nearly 10 years, and I've only known them for 3-4
years, but the three of us are so close it's insane. We're always talking
together online or on the phone.
They helped me get over my last two boyfriends (Nik, who will be mentioned
later, and another guy from high school), and they're always there to make me
laugh and smile when I'm feeling down. When I graduated from high school in June
2005, they were there to help me get over the pain of knowing that there would
be no marching band in the fall and that I'll never see some of my high school
friends again. When my grandmother died on Feb. 19th this year, they were there
for me. In turn, I am there for them when they need me, when they need someone
to make them smile, and when they just need someone to talk to.
We talk about everything, from boys to Anime to music to games to school and
everything in between. Everyone we know says that the three of us will grow
apart and gradually forget one another, but to imagine life without Heather and
Lyndsay is like trying to imagine my life without my family, that's how close
the three of us are.
I have another friend, a guy named Jonathan, whom I've known since he and I were
in 1st grade. He pisses me off a lot, mainly because he's a guy and I've been
disappointed by the guys in my life a lot, but he's such an amazing person
because he's so sincere (he's a very religious guy and he was raised well) and
open-hearted. My other guy friends, Will and Nik, my 1st and 2nd boyfriends
(respectively) are there to make me laugh and think of something other than
what's bothering me. It's great to have them in my life as friends instead of
boyfriends.
That was lengthy, so hopefully your eyes are still intact, lol.
my story?... well it goes a little somethinglike this....
we had earth science together, back in middle school.... this girl and i... it
was forbidden in our culture to ever be more than friends, but that was cool
with me... i barely knew her... nor she me... just that one little barrier...
but we wrote notes to each other... stupid notes... i don't even really remember
what they were about... i showed her my drawings... my hopes, my dreams... she
shared with me her thoughts, her personality... time passed.. we drifted
apart... then met again halfway through highschool... it was as though my world
had frozen, while she had lived two lifetimes... to me everything was the same,
but i could tell... she was different.. not in a bad way, but who likes
change?.. she still coaxed me along though... held my hand... showing me how
warm hers was... or how cold mine were... i don't know for sure, but i think she
could see straight into my soul, right through the false face i had put up for
everyone to see... she could always make me feel better.. and i in turn would do
nothing, but ask for more.... all i did was ask and ask and ask... and she only
gave whatever answers she could, never asking... things went on until we
graduated... i never saw her again.. not after that night, graduation night...
where i asked (not litterally) the most i could ever ask of someone... to have
them watch me go beserk... i tore up my knuckles on a wooden pole... kicked her
car... bled in it... ... .. she stopped by once, just once.. to drop off the
money i had left in her car..
moral of the story: She was better off without me, and therefore i am better off
alone..
yeah, freinds of the opposite gender are sometimes a lot better. some one is
looking on your life like, as from as far away as you can be(gender barrier) but
they can help you so much.
i used to be kind of a loner, and then i met this really cool girl, annie, we
just kinda started to talk more and more, and then were like best freinds. it
just felt good to be around her no matter what we were doing. no matter what we
asked each other, if the other could answer/do something then they would. she
could look at my problems in a whole different way that i could not see.
it was cool b/c it never got weird. once, i thought i really liked her, so i
asked her out in way, and then i kinda left 'cause i was so embarassed. but the
next day, we were just the same close freinds as before and it was so releiving
that she still understood me! she was one of the few people i could hold a
meaningfull conversation with and we always understood each other no matter how
crazy we sounded to others.
then at the second year of high-school she moved to a different city. i was
gonna go see her before she left, but circumstances and fears kept that from
happening. i gave her all my info like e-mail and phone number and she gave me
her new phone number too, but i lost it. she never called or wrote, and every
once in a while i think about her, but i am am not so sad when i do now. i am
just happy that i was there for the time i had and hope she's alright.
I knew I had to comment here when I read the topic. One of my best friends is a
guy, Zach. He's younger than me, so I see him as a little brother (And he sees
me as a big sister). And, like Zach says, we're like peanut butter and jelly.
There's not much of a story, I just met him through my other best friend,
Bethany.
We're extremely close, we tell eachother everything and have so many things in
common. He's someone I always go to for advice, and the thing he said that I
will always remember....
"Don't just look at me as a boy, or a brother....but as a
friend."
my best frnd is a boy. wat happened is that be4 we were born, his parents and my
parents were really good frnds. on top of that, he was born like 1 week after
me. so, we basically grew up together. we're rlly close now and we talk evry
day. hes always there for me and he always protects me from pp who want to take
advantage of me or r just bullies. i rlly dont kno wat id do w/out him. hes like
my twin brother too cause we always seem to kno wat the other person is thnking
and we cant hide thngs frm eachother cause we kno wen sumthngs rong w/ the
other.
I didn't think it was possible to be just friends with guys, but then I got to
junior college and somehow ended up with two guys as my best buddies. It's a
pretty interesting experience. I get kicks watching them do stuff like making
fools out of themselves in front of pretty girls . It can get
pretty annoying me though 'cos one of them insists on treating me like he would
a guy, like hitting me or stuff like that. That's one of the hardest things
about being friends with a guy, they sometimes for get that you're not a guy...
My best friend was the meanest guy who ever was to me... I was in grade 9 in an
all girls school and he was grade 9 in an all boys school..our schools were 5
minutes away from each others' and so we go on the same bus home..
So the first time i saw him i thought he was cute...lolz..he was a short little
nerd actually... but he looked a lot like a guy i used to know and had a crush
on at the time...sooo...from my other guy friend from my elementary school i got
his email..and..being the bored little ninth grader i was i added him and
started talking to him.. but when i spoke to him i can tell he was annoyed by
me..i mean..there i was..some random girl from the bus who kept asking him if he
was a different person... So he started to become cold to me...and..getting the
hint..i stopped talking to him... After that i deleted him off my msn list and
never expected to speak to him again....but to my surprise he spoke to me...It
was the usual "Hey" "hey" "whats up?"
"nm" type conversation..but..just a little conversation like that made
me add him onto my list again...and then after that we didnt speak to each other
again for a few months.... one day i was extremely bored and he was the only
person on my list who was online..so i spoke to him...this time...somehow we
sparked a real conversation...and so anytime we saw each other online after that
we would talk..and now..it still amazes me how i ever got to be so close with
him.. he was the last person on earth i would ever expect to love.......as a
friend [for now at least ]
Some people find better company with the opposite gender. There's nothing wrong
with that, just be prepared if a friendship turns into something else. It can
either make a relationship stronger, or drive a wedge between you and other
friends.
My story is a patheic one...
When I mirgrated into this country, and attended a co-ed school I had one of the
most interesting schoollife a guy can have. A new language, and a new lifestyle.
(Plus the tones of girls that gethered around me ^_^). Suddenly, upon the end of
a particular school year, my parents dragged me to a private school far away,
never saying goodbye. (Of course, it was one of my biggerest regrets then that I
didn't grab their contacts, though I couldn't speak english then, and msn wasn't
popular then.) For the rest of my school life, which is like the next 8 years, I
lived in a state of totally isolation of the opposite gender . (All boys
school, no family friends, no opportunity going to and from school, no
neigbours, parents barely spoke english.) So, I became a rather shy person and
left as a loner.
Which is althogether patheic. Why I told this story: As people say,"one
only realises the importance of something after its lost", I say that from
a guy that lost his chance, it is VERY lucky for those who have a friend who is
of opposite gender, to look out for and have a totaly different opinion from a
opposite perspective of you. This is a luxury compared to loners like me.
So, as I am sure judging that no one seems to reply any of the above comments
from other people, mine will be skipped or quickly forgotten as well ^_^.
aww your guy friend must be great! ANd he likes anime too. ahaha.
Well, my guy friend at school was in Jr. High together we where in computer
class, and we where allowed into going to use the interent and I was going to an
anime page full of pictures, and he had too be so nosy and so anoying he kept
asking me if I liked it. ANd now here we are where friends! ahah. We ride the
same bus. BUt in our 8th grade years, we didn't get to see eahcother that much..
but too bad. We got more into anime! ANd I met a new friend(girl) it was soo
fun! I miss my 8th grade years sooo much! Now I'm going to 9th grade without
none of my friends but onely one. ( I made her go)haha. But my friends and I
always have somthing in common aka anime/manga.^_^ The more I think about the
fun times I have IN my jr. high years.. I miss it even more! ;_;
I have a million friends that are girls. A lot of them are quite attractive, but
I would never be more than friends with them because I enjoy having friends of
both genders. It's not weird. It's only weird if you MAKE IT weird.
my 2 best friends are girls. they know all there is about me to the point that
when i smile or before i can say something, they have a answer/comment. i met
them both around the same time. the 1st was through a friend and i was there
when she needed someone to talk to and we just clicked. the other i got to know
at a party, but we never really talked durnig high school. so school ended and a
few months past and we bumped in to each other at the mall. since then we have
been so close that everyone thought (some still think) that we were dating!
which we arnt. i do really love them, but the feel more than a friend, but not a
like a going out girlfriend. you guys know what i mean.
Friendship with the opposite sex. Mmm. Its cool. I have this girl that is like
my best friend but until we develop feelings for each other. I was goin to
accept but then after my big trip in Texas, she turned a 180 on me. Im like so
what happend? Third base and back to the warming bench. Its get all weird around
ever since then so i dont really talk to her as much now. Girls are weird...so i
dont really like makin best friends with girls. Never label best friends. Watch
the movie Best Friends. You'll be in the "friend zone" for life.
aww that is sweet. well i actually have kinda been through that. not the rumor
part though but i have this guy friend that i total love like a brother. it
started off pretty weird. he was basically another guy in my pre-ap chem class
that i thought was rather annoying. actually he is annoying and most everyone
that wasnt his friend in that class thought he was. well one day he found out
that i was ticklish and decided to amuse himself with tickling me. i feel that
was annoying and still do but someone that stupid litlle flaw in me actually
brought us closer together as friends. he talk to each other almost every night
online and are really closer in school. i tell him things that i wouldnt do with
others and i love him. not in a romantic sense because we dont feel that way
towards each other but i love him with a deep sense of friendship and nothing
more. so i say that its ok to have a closer relationship with a member of the
opposite sex. there is nothing wrong with that and never will be.
I've had similar experience as to you, in terms of hating him at first is all.
Actually most of my friends are guys, and some I've hated at first but got along
well afterwards. Anyway, this guy was always such a teacher's pet in class, I
never had any interest in him, but he always thought he was so smart which
pissed me off. Next year he wasn't in any of my classes because he was in French
immersion. Another year passed and he's in one of my classes, computer science.
Unfortunately for me he was seated next to me in the lab. God I knew this class
wasn't going to be fun with him ... So anyways, I saw he was looking at some
Forums, and noticed he liked anime and some games I like too. To my surprise he
wasn't mr.know-it-all anymore either, so I was able to talk to him openly
because computer science class was so easy and boring. I added him to my msn so
we could easily play some online games together. Since then we've been close
friends and yes we do more than play games together now lol. Gender doesn't make
any difference to me really, they just have to be interesting to my aspects.
Well i have a couple of stories about it but i'm too lazy to type them all
>.>
I find myself really often having female friends and just be friends with them
but sometimes one of them squeezes into my feelings and we end up as a couple I
guess once you start spending WAY tooo much time with a good friend of the
opposite sex you will develope something more for them. Maybe you should hold
back a bit if you really only want to be friends.
And it gets weirder when you get to the point where you have to decide if you
only want to be friends or more than that =/
......... Having friends of the opposite gender is no big surprise......... it's
actual instincts........ were just trying to find a mate to be with in the
future, nothing more..........
I have some female friends, but in general I find that the "just
friends" thing doesn't work out between the sexes. At its root there is a
level of attraction from one to the other, or possibly both.
My closest female friends are either not remotely my type or we've discussed how
damaging getting together would be. No sexual tension = a good friend.
One of my friends, let's call him E, was at first an enemy to me! We would
bicker on and on because we sat at the same table in homeroom and blah blah blah
we couldn't stand each other. Then one day he made me cry and then .. uhhh i
guess we kinda became friends? WE stil lannoy each other to no end, but it's
like a playful way now. Rumors are that he likes me >.>
Well... my friendship with my best guy friend started off as.. well we actually started off as enemies! ^-^'' He was sooo annoying to me and actually accidentally started a rumour about me.. (he stopped supporting the rumour, but others continued it... it's still going on a bit
)
Anyways, I guess the turning point came when one day, a friend of mine invited me to her conversation with him, so all three of us were all talking over the computer... we talked about some life stuff, like growing up and our childhoods... and at that moment, I started feeling different... Instead of anger and annoyance, I felt sympathy and understanding for him.

We talk about things like our lives, our parents, growing up... , pressure, depression.. all that, and all the normal everyday stuff as well.
We tell eachother our secrets.. he's told me things he'd never tell anyone else. He is the only person whom I show my weak side to..
He helped me when I was getting over my ex-bf. He's always there to cheer me up and I'll forever be here for him..
So now, we are as close as a guy and a girl possibly can be as friends. We completely understand and care for eachother too... it's almost like I never knew what real friendship is, until I met him, and he said that I am his first real friend as well.
We even plan on visiting some places together! ^^ And we both plan to study overseas in Japan when we're older...
I really hope we can be friends for if not forever, just a long, long time. Even if we grow further apart later on, I'll be happy knowing that I knew him, and that I was blessed to have him as a friend.
*smile* that's my story! How about all of you?
Aww... Thats sweet. Yah, one of my best friends is a guy. Acctully, a good percent of my friends are guys. There is nothing wrong with being friends with them. I mean there humans to. We just have xx(I think?) chromosomes(sp?) and they have xy(I think).
*Smile* Its good to have freinds of diferent genders. That way you meet lots more people...
Yeah, I've got relationships like the one you have with your friend, though I've never started off as an enemy of any of my friends.
Two of my best friends, Heather and Lyndsay, live in different states, yet the three of us intend on living together (or close to one another), going to Japan together, going to Europe together, and starting our own rock band. They've known each other online for nearly 10 years, and I've only known them for 3-4 years, but the three of us are so close it's insane. We're always talking together online or on the phone.

When my grandmother died on Feb. 19th this year, they were there for me. In turn, I am there for them when they need me, when they need someone to make them smile, and when they just need someone to talk to.
We talk about everything, from boys to Anime to music to games to school and everything in between. Everyone we know says that the three of us will grow apart and gradually forget one another, but to imagine life without Heather and Lyndsay is like trying to imagine my life without my family, that's how close the three of us are.
I have another friend, a guy named Jonathan, whom I've known since he and I were in 1st grade. He pisses me off a lot, mainly because he's a guy and I've been disappointed by the guys in my life a lot, but he's such an amazing person because he's so sincere (he's a very religious guy and he was raised well) and open-hearted. My other guy friends, Will and Nik, my 1st and 2nd boyfriends (respectively) are there to make me laugh and think of something other than what's bothering me. It's great to have them in my life as friends instead of boyfriends.

watch when harry met sally. that should sum up male/female relationships.

ANd I met a new friend(girl) it was soo fun! I miss my 8th grade years sooo much! Now I'm going to 9th grade without none of my friends but onely one. ( I made her go)haha. But my friends and I always have somthing in common aka anime/manga.^_^ The more I think about the fun times I have IN my jr. high years.. I miss it even more! ;_;
I have a million friends that are girls. A lot of them are quite attractive, but I would never be more than friends with them because I enjoy having friends of both genders. It's not weird. It's only weird if you MAKE IT weird.
my 2 best friends are girls. they know all there is about me to the point that when i smile or before i can say something, they have a answer/comment. i met them both around the same time. the 1st was through a friend and i was there when she needed someone to talk to and we just clicked. the other i got to know at a party, but we never really talked durnig high school. so school ended and a few months past and we bumped in to each other at the mall. since then we have been so close that everyone thought (some still think) that we were dating! which we arnt. i do really love them, but the feel more than a friend, but not a like a going out girlfriend. you guys know what i mean.
Friendship with the opposite sex. Mmm. Its cool. I have this girl that is like my best friend but until we develop feelings for each other. I was goin to accept but then after my big trip in Texas, she turned a 180 on me. Im like so what happend? Third base and back to the warming bench. Its get all weird around ever since then so i dont really talk to her as much now. Girls are weird...so i dont really like makin best friends with girls. Never label best friends. Watch the movie Best Friends. You'll be in the "friend zone" for life.
aww that is sweet. well i actually have kinda been through that. not the rumor part though but i have this guy friend that i total love like a brother. it started off pretty weird. he was basically another guy in my pre-ap chem class that i thought was rather annoying. actually he is annoying and most everyone that wasnt his friend in that class thought he was. well one day he found out that i was ticklish and decided to amuse himself with tickling me. i feel that was annoying and still do but someone that stupid litlle flaw in me actually brought us closer together as friends. he talk to each other almost every night online and are really closer in school. i tell him things that i wouldnt do with others and i love him. not in a romantic sense because we dont feel that way towards each other but i love him with a deep sense of friendship and nothing more. so i say that its ok to have a closer relationship with a member of the opposite sex. there is nothing wrong with that and never will be.
I've had similar experience as to you, in terms of hating him at first is all. Actually most of my friends are guys, and some I've hated at first but got along well afterwards. Anyway, this guy was always such a teacher's pet in class, I never had any interest in him, but he always thought he was so smart which pissed me off. Next year he wasn't in any of my classes because he was in French immersion. Another year passed and he's in one of my classes, computer science. Unfortunately for me he was seated next to me in the lab. God I knew this class wasn't going to be fun with him ... So anyways, I saw he was looking at some Forums, and noticed he liked anime and some games I like too. To my surprise he wasn't mr.know-it-all anymore either, so I was able to talk to him openly because computer science class was so easy and boring. I added him to my msn so we could easily play some online games together. Since then we've been close friends and yes we do more than play games together now lol. Gender doesn't make any difference to me really, they just have to be interesting to my aspects.
Well i have a couple of stories about it but i'm too lazy to type them all >.>
I find myself really often having female friends and just be friends with them but sometimes one of them squeezes into my feelings and we end up as a couple I guess once you start spending WAY tooo much time with a good friend of the opposite sex you will develope something more for them. Maybe you should hold back a bit if you really only want to be friends.
And it gets weirder when you get to the point where you have to decide if you only want to be friends or more than that =/
......... Having friends of the opposite gender is no big surprise......... it's actual instincts........ were just trying to find a mate to be with in the future, nothing more..........
I have some female friends, but in general I find that the "just friends" thing doesn't work out between the sexes. At its root there is a level of attraction from one to the other, or possibly both.
My closest female friends are either not remotely my type or we've discussed how damaging getting together would be. No sexual tension = a good friend.
oh that is just so cute ^o^
I have alot of guy friends too!
One of my friends, let's call him E, was at first an enemy to me! We would bicker on and on because we sat at the same table in homeroom and blah blah blah we couldn't stand each other. Then one day he made me cry and then .. uhhh i guess we kinda became friends? WE stil lannoy each other to no end, but it's like a playful way now. Rumors are that he likes me >.>
