Best Friends with Straight Person
#11
When I came out, I lost lot of friends and now I've very few straight male friends. I've never had any romantic interest for them. I love them very much, but as friends. I respect their sexuality and they respect mine. It's totally possible for gay and straight people to be friends.

Yes.

No.

Just ask me and my straight best friend.

Well, I'm straight woman and my best friend is gay guy, but in my opinion it really doesn't matter what your sexuality or gender is. I'd say my friendships are "gender neutral" :biggrin:

I think the whole a man and woman can't be friends thing is a load of crap.. and applies to your case as well. Almost all of my friends are straight, and quite frankly, because I've been friends with them for so long.. I don't think of them "that way" in the slightest. For me, it'd be like being attracted to your brother or something. I think it's perfectly possible for you to be friends with a straight male.

My best friend since I was 5 years old is straight. He's very attractive, and never has a problem with the ladies. I couldn't begin to think of him as a sexual partner. He's like a brother to me, and regardless of the fact that he's so attractive, I just couldn't see him that way. And he's not the only one. I've got about a half dozen friends from high school, all straight, and I have no sexual attraction to any of them. Jealousy over something like this is a sign of insecurity and immaturity, IMO.
