text: can a guy & a girl be best friendss?   definitly yes. others may make remarks and tease you about there being more and that just shows their ignorance in the matter. don't waste a good friendship by listening to others. i have found that most of my life, men are the best friends i ever had. they aren't judgemental as some women can be and i don't have to put up with the jealousy that women seem to come across with, unless its their girlfriend or wife,lol. that is when i back off. no need in causing problems where it can be avoided. a trick to the friendship is to include the partner in the friendship where possible.
