This is a difficult question to answer but it really depends. If your best friend, you knew longer and is there for you and will always be then yes ofcourse but you dont have to put one in front of the other i mean you hang out with both of them, have time for your friends and your boyfriend. Boyfriends come and go and bestfriends do too, trust me. You dont have to choose, spend time with your boyfriend at times and your best friends at other times.

Actually that's a tricky question to answer.

Ideally, everyone is raised to believe that friends should always comes first because 'boys may come and go.....' but this isn't always the case.

Growing up, I always found that my friends came and went as much as boyfriends and although there are some good friends that remained, they weren't around half as much as my current boyfriend is now.

I think it has to be a judgement call based on the relationship between your friends and the relationship between you and your boyfriend.

I tend to put my boyfriend first because he was my best friend for 4 months before we started going out. Now, nearly 3 years on, we live together and he is more than just a boyfriend. He is my best friend too. I did ignore my friends a lot to begin with when he appeared on the scene but once they realised I was truly in love, they backed off for a little while and let me bask in 'the honeymoon period'. Now we've been together long enough that I can have friends and him without worrying too much about it.

So my opinion is that you should never ignore your friends altogether because the only time you will get away with it will be when it is true love. Make sure you allocate a specific night to always see your friends and never interfere with it, unless you can't help it. Boyfriends and friends should never HAVE to be an either/or situation. There's no reason you can't have both.

EDIT / i didn't mean they were whatever .. thats just how the saying goes. but as far as loosing a friend over a boy, it's just not worth it in the long run. =] sorry bout that.


nooo! friends are forever boys are whatever.. at least that's how the saying goes. your friends will always be there for you, dont loose them over a boy/girl. <3

Not at all. Friends are always there, and boyfriends/girlfriends come & go.

dancergirl678 answered Thursday April 6 2006, 4:03 pm:
no! bfs/gfs can come and go, but a best friend will always be there by your side. if someone were to put a bf/gf before a friend the friends gunna get ticked and make new friends, but if that person were to break up/be broken up with, then they just lost their bf/gf AND their friend. A best friend can be hard to come by, don't let it slip away over someone else

It depends.usually if one is pressuring you in any wayshapeform, to remove that person, and that person has had no negative influence. you need to judge that yourself. me? i would take my best friend of a GF in an instance.

jammy12 answered Thursday April 6 2006, 11:12 am:
Normally your boyfriend//girlfriend should be your best ffriend but sometimes you just need someone else to talk to. I think best friends, howveer, should be higher ranked than a bf//gff simply because you always have your best friend with and near you while you may break up with ur bff///gf and it may never be the same. Thnk about it and you have to decide!!

HOPE I HELPED

I think you should put your friends first. Think about friends will always be there a boyfriend/ girlfriend might break up with you and ur friends might think that you were avoiding them while ur going out.
Hope this helps

NOOOO boyfriends never last but your friends will be there forever, and if you spend all your time with your boyfriend, your friends will feel second handed to the boyfriend, so when you and your boyfriend break up, you might not have your friends back!! i hoip ehis helped <3

NinjaNeer answered Thursday April 6 2006, 9:50 am:
ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I had a really good friend who whenever she would be dating would treat me and my other friends like crap... what ended up happening was that when she would break up with the guy, we would be there for her no matter what... eventually, we gave up on this, and she was alone when she broke up with her last boyfriend.

We've all heard the line "chicks before dicks", and it's something that we should all definitely stick to; like me for example, I make sure to spend a night a week with the girls (at least) even when I'm dating, and I've never cancelled on them so I could see my bf.

I would say no but it kind of depends on the situation. like if your boyfriend really needs you with him at that point in time. BUt your bestfriend just wants to hang out. then you should probly be with your boyfriend.

x3candiigrl answered Thursday April 6 2006, 7:39 am:
no he deff souldn't. guys come and go but best friends should last forever. I know it sounds corny but it's true. If she's your best friend, this guy shouldn't come between that
