Once in our lifetime, at least once we found our self having a friend who is from the opposite sex… And when we talk about him/her in our conversations we always say: oh, he is just a friend, but, is he really JUST A FRIEND? Our elders always say these kinds of friendships always lead to some place dark like one of us starts having feelings for the other and other things. What do you think? Tell us some of your stories we can't wait to hear 'em!

What if the guy love his best friend and they become lovers. I don’t think is good idea.

in my opinon pretty girls must have male friends coz most of her female friends show GEOLOUSEY along the road of friendship.. altough its dangerous coz it might lead to LOVE...
i prefer a g@y loyale friend we can shop,gossip,like the same movies & music!& he can never backstab me !!!!!
oh thnx waleg
xx
i have some really close guy frineds like best friends, and they always talk to me about thier girl problems, and me about boys..
so im saying, it might be rare 2 fine really friends from opp sex but trust me its possible!!
OK, that was my nickname which I have to change now
Most of my friends are girls butI don't mind having male friends as long as we treat each other as siblings.
some of you girls are christans that you can have any male friends, but muslims cannut have a boy friend or friends.
Hi all, hi arabia. Please take this with all the respect u deserve, but I think that it is a pity that u cannot have guy friends. I am a Christian Lebanese girl living in Australia and I believe that having friends both male and female avoids a lot of problems. I mean, if girls have no guy friends, girls and boys get curious about the unknown and problems can a rise (if u know what I mean).
When u have friends from both sides, u not only get to know how the other guy thinks, but it loses its mystery. It also develops respect between them.
I believe girls and boys can be friends and the men in my life I love and respect dearly like brothers.
Thanks Waleg for such an interesting topic.
HI CAROL,
I AGREE WITH YOU. SPOT ON.
Hi Lebanesethefirstone. in what part of the world do u live and experience this? Is it the same to where I am from?
for you can have friend males not me, your christans are so different from islam. So, i wasn't talking bad things about you're religion, i just said what i put. Car, Dont be smart. end of sentence..
..in my country i never heard such a dumpy about girls and boys could be friends.
arabia,
I dunno what are you on, but there are plenty of arab muslim girls with boys as their friends, also boyfriends and at time lovers. It depends about the culture and all the other stuff in respect to the environment.
I personally, definitely i have male friends, and i find it quite possible.
arabia,
where are you from?
why you want to know? so you can tell me that i can have male friends. Whatever, i dont want to hear.
You are so full of it.
I really do agree with you dina and carol Austrlia. My father really doesn't allow me to have guy friends, but i think that you can consider them as your brothers, you know. And it is better like that cause you have them whenever you need them, and they really do protect you.
ok then, do not open the curiosity door, and do not say christian that and muslim that, you are not in that position to define people, & let others be without any judgement. take care.
ARABIA, I am deeply sorry if I have offended u. I really did not mean too. U were the one that bought up the religion bit- I was just responding.
DINA, u r right- religion should have nothing to do with it. I have many friends, boys and girls, of all walks of life and I look at them as an individual and what they have to offer this world. U r so right- it has nothing to do with politics, religion or nationality.
Wow....okay then..i am muslim..i have a lot of guy friends...okay any muslim father or mother says that you are not allowed to have guy friends..i am sorry but thats purely pothetic and stupid...cause this world is women and men..not just one sex...so therefore...its pretty stupid saying that you're not allowed to have guy friends if ur a girl..and to arabia...don't generolize like that...u said
"but muslims cannut have a boy friend or friends."
...actually ur wrong...cause i am muslim..and there are many muslims around the world who have friends as guyz...i have no clue where your from...cause thats just way too weird...
ARABIA ..
Let me say this without offending you...
I read your comments & its full of HYPOCRACY & PREACHING ... if you are such a stricted religious person WHY bother & comment ??
It seems your living a double life!! you only want to show off ... just live your life & be your self!! don't show that you're an angel coz you are only a HUMAN.
i was just thinking about religions, thats why i post it.. when i say chr...you get mad. We have different religions. like dina said, I shouldn't open the curiosity door. Im going to keep it in my mind bttr..
you people are so sensitive, is like im going to attak you.
HI CAROL
YES I am A Lebanese girl living in Australia, Remember from SuperStar, I used to post as LEBANESE only, but someone used it here. I do agree with you, klshy mahjoob marghoob.
Hi Lebanese the first one! I thought it was u!
I miss Superstar, not just from the show, but from speaking to u, my friends on line!
HELLO!!!
hi..i am a muslim, i live in a western country. and my father doesnt let me have male friends and till recently i tried not to have male friends, but now sure i do..i mean guys have different points of view and i think for friends its interesting to hear theirs aswell as females view.
Arabia- all over the arab countries girls and guys date and are friends..well north africa, asia and some middle eastern places..i understand it is wrong but its the truth.
For example my family in north africa r strict..and live in traditional town, yet if you go to cities then its the same a western places..im not being offensive as i am muslim too.
also everybody plz stop bringing religion into this..and saying their religion is better..we all have different beliefs and we must not critisise individual opinions
so take care everyone :)
Hey! Here in sweden
its normal to have friends from the other
sex, so i got many friends and i think they
are just wonderful, they are just like the girls
standing by my side, showing me the right from the wrong, but of course some "girl" things you
cant talk about them with boys, but it dosent matter .. but when i talk with my cousins in lebanon and maybe telling them that im going to the cinema with my friend(a boy) they are just like HUUH?? do you have a bf and blah blah..
Maybe its more normal 2day to have friends from the other sex then it was before, but it deppends on wich country your in.
I like to say that you all got great adds and its nice to know what other thinks about it :)
i published this thingg aND I wanted to say i didnt want to bring religon things ..i meant what about the feeelings that mAY COME MAY NOT AND SHARE YOUR EXPEIRIENCES
i agree with Mimo
I live in Bulgaria and here its normal to have a guy as a friend and when i go to Syria and tell them about how i ve been out with some guys they ask me a million questions, like : Does your mother know? Are you sure he doesnt want something more than you? ...
When they ask me these kind of questions its a lil annoying for me, but i know that it is normal cuz they arent used to these kind of friendship.
I am muslim and from Iraq...I have many guy friends some of them are christian too...I have them in school and outside of school!! we all have respect for each other..,I agree with Carol...
This is subject that is very hard to dictate.
To what extent do you consider a guy friend? Hanging about around in school? Going out with other friends?
I don't think it's wrong to have guy friends, but it totatly depends on the extent of that relationship and what it means? Naturally, sometimes having a guy as friend can lead to feelings, I've seen it happen in front of my eyes.
It is haram depending on how a female controls herself and him in that matter.
Well in my opinion its much better to talk to gurls as they are of a different sex and have different thoughts then those thoughts of guys ....Schools these days are not co-educational(gurls and boys together)which make problems for guys who wanna talk to gurls... if there was a co-educational skool there would be a competition between both the sexes and they would wanna study more to get better grades than each other which then makes skool actually intersting ...for me i talk to gurls all the time and i have no problem with it ;)
we have 2 have an argument about everyfng.....omdyzzzz ppl...
i feel that in this kind of freindships we relly have to trust one another, coz if u see my best freind in da world is a gurl and we respect each other al loot. so to conclude only if the two friends relly believe in each other and there is respect, and loyalty, and trust, then only and only then can this kind of friendship can be okay and hopefully accepted by many
i think guys and girls cand definatly be friends without always becoming based on attractions.i had many guy friends and still do but i nerver looked at tehm that way i actually ask them for advice about my bf's..so think it doesnt always go the dark way hehe
plus...i am muslim living in canada and my parents dont say that i can have guy friends but they now i most problably do...i think guys can be cool and understanding and they TOTALLY NOT g@y..
Hi to u all my brothers and sisters! Hi Masrya... for once I dont think we are arguing! People have the most amazing ideas and I want to thank u all for sharing, girls and guys! It is amazing that all over the world, we are all the same, with similar experiences!
WTF...i am not saying anythin...plz dont like say why i am swearin or anythin..dont mean to..but come on...look at u guyz..u sound so pothetic...is this world just men? or just woman? plz answer this question..NO. so obviously it doesnt matter if u have guy/girl friends....and whats this thing about haram...who said it was haram...ITS NOT HARAM...so just get over it..why are we talking about this subject either...i mean like common...who cares if u fall in love with ur friend...HORAY...watever...why take it too serioulsy...where do we live? why are we so conservative?
doesnt anybody agree with waht i said
Derek, u r right. Being in contact with the opposite sex on a daily basis makes one accustomed to it. It becomes normal- and u r right, I think girls and guys can be very competitive and want to out do each other at school!
Finally someone agrees with me ...thnx carol for the reply ....anybody else??
Through my own experience, you'd better avoid to have deep relationship with friends of the opposite sex.
I used to have a guy friend. We were very close to each other & then it turned to more than friendship. We spent wonderful days together but then it turned to a disaster & I lost him as a lover & a friend.
I really suffered when we broke up & it has taken me a long time to get rid of its bad effects on me.
I can't say that I regret it, indeed I still love him & I miss him badly, but wished that things stayed at the level of friendship.
Now I still have guys friends because they have nothing to do with my bad experience but I'm very careful in the way I'm dealing with them.
hahahah !! arabia !! i dono if u'll read this but i just wanted 2 tell yaaa wherever u r from !! n if u think in such a way !! god be with u !! cz i am muslim to0o..n i hv a muslim mom n a muslim dad !! n hahaha i live in a muslim country called bahrain !! its soo old 2 think in such a way cz life has completely changed now !! n i don think that there r ppl who dont hv friends from both the sexes !! i guess !! in fact i'm sure !! n it shudnt be anythin bad or wud mean anythin wrong !! its the ppl who look at it in a wrong way n specially the ppl of ur country if im right abt it where the women have no rights at all !!
lol good for you then, i thought bahrain is too stric. i guess not, and don't even start talking about my country, you dont know them and what counry im. dont make cuss at you...
I agree with what you said Darek.
Derek, How many e-mails do you have? You have different e-mails for both of your comment.
Muna i have 2 emails hard_sorrow@hotmail.com and angel_vs_devil91@hotmail.com....but i mostly use angelvsdevil email ...and thnx for agreeing with me muna ...coz what i said is true....
hay i was readind your comments about friendship between girsls and boys. but you know girls and boys can never be friends. from my own experience , i had a best friend and he was a guy . we were all the time together and one day we started having feelings for each other , i became jealous whenever another girl wanted to talk to him. at the end , we realized it wouldn't work. we couldn't understand each other and now we are separated. this is just to say that there is no friendship. of course you can have friends from the other sex but not best friends.
lol i dont know
i just want to sleep so i cant really think right now
take care all
