best friend is a boy


Question Posted Saturday November 22 2008, 12:24 pm

so my best friend is a boy, which tends to make people think we're dating.. all of the time. haha. but the other night he finally told me that he has started to avoid being alone with me because he doesnt want either of us to miss out on relationships because people think we're dating.
that really bothers me because hes my best friend. we're supposed to be able to do things alone instead of having to wait and see if someone else can hang out as well. how do i convince him that he shouldnt care what others think and to stop avoiding times when we're alone?

This is a tough situation.........

The way people judge a girl & a boy together is definitely a couple. I say that if you guys go out, you guys go out to enjoy eachother's company not to hook up with someone else.

Talk to him and make it clear that if you two go out with eachother is as a friendship basis and that if you two are seen in society the way they are judging you shouldn't matter. Unless he goes out with you and is thinking about hooking up with someone else then that's an issue.

I would just ask him to hang out with u, just the two of you and if he says no or to bring another person, tell him how u feel about yall being friends and you should be able to hang out alone without caring what people think about you to. Hope this helps!
