Alright, so me and my best friend are EXTREMELY close. We can tell each other anything and we trust each other completely. We hang out a lot and stuff and we're both addicted to taking pictures and stuff, so we go to the mall and take crazy pictures all the time. According to another of our friends, who is really really honest about anything, we are acting like lesbians? I don't know how, I mean we just like to hang out, like normal "best friends" should. I'm straight and I don't know about my best friend, but she says she is so I believe her. Not that there's anything wrong with lesbians, but if people think you are and you aren't, it can kinda mess up some relationships. I guess what I want to know is; how do you and your best friend act? if it's similair to the way we act, do people call you a lesbian? Thanks!

Missa8305 answered Friday August 1 2008, 1:45 am: You're not acting like lesbians. Even if you were... Would it really matter? For example... My friend Amanda and I are both as straight as arrows. Last time I visited her in Florida... We walked all over Universal Studio's, all day, holding hands. I'm sure plenty of people saw us and drew all sorts of conclusions. But I don't care what people think... And neither does Amanda. We're just friends and we know the truth.
In another situation... My other best friend is a gay man. For almost a year we shared a one-bedroom apartment. Everyone living in our apartment complex thought we were married. Neither Josh or I ever said anything to lead them to believe otherwise. Because it didn't matter what they thought of us.
So... What I'm saying is... Whether this person is your friend or not, what she thinks isn't important. Don't let it come between you and your best friend. [ Missa8305's advice column | Ask Missa8305 A Question ]

But that's totally their problem. I'm with my best friend now acctually, and I don't have a sister or anything but I think having a best friend is exactly the way you described it. Like me and my best friend hug like all the time, doesn't mean we're lesbians right? People hug! And nah I don't think anyone's ever thought that we were lesbians. Maybe people want you two to think that, so you'll become less of bestfriends and other people will steal you away from eachother? It happens! But all I have to say is, that's so rediculous, it seems to me that you two act way more like best friends, because best friends tell eachother everything, can take lots of pictures together, finish eachothers sentences, like the same things or not like the same things and argue all the time but still love eachother! I hope this makes sense! (: [ volleyballgamer's advice column | Ask volleyballgamer A Question ]
rainbowcherrie answered Thursday July 31 2008, 5:56 pm: I think that's ridiculous. My best friend and I are incredibly close. We've known each other for around 13 years and we spend most free evenings at each other's houses or doing something together. We've even kissed before as a joke at a party and I think I can safely say that no one has ever called us lesbians.
Your behaviour does not sound at all 'abnormal' for close friends and I think your better off just ignoring the people making the comments. You know you're just friends and they're only trying to stir up trouble. They might even be jealous of your friendship. It's not worth worrying about.
