Would you sleep with your best friend?

Your girlfriend or boyfriend should literally be your BEST friend. That's why s/he is your bf/gf. So that s/he can be their for you all the time, share stuffs with you and also you could get the benefits you cant get from "ordinary friends" from them.

Yeah you should have friends, you should have really good friends. But ur bf / gf should be your best friend.

If you and ur bf/gf are really in love, I seriously don't see why s/he would care if you get fat, ugly, have a bad hair cut or The rest of things u listed there.

I hope u get my point.. i am just tryna say, if you have a bf/gf.. i see no reason why you should have another BEST friend somewhere else... cos to me, your bf/gf should be your best friend.

This don't mean you shouldn't have other friends. I mean friends u can still trust incase summin goes wrong in the course of ur relationship.

@ nddy
no you wouldn't sleep with your best friend but that simply shows that one can have a healthy relationship without sex.

@ hot-angel
the truth is most times you get all the crap from your so called boy or girl friend especially if you guys have a wrong foundation or missed the basis of the relationship. people get into these relationships for the wrong reason and having the wrong expectation.
the truth is, your boy friend is the one who first complains about things like weight gain and stuff. it's annoying cos most times he complains for the wrong reasons. not because he's worried that your excessive weight gain is not healthy but because he doesn't want to date a fat girl.
you can be yourself around your best friend, fart( i'm not saying it's decent) e.t.c cos you know they'll accept you for who you really are. no fear of rejection. there's no competition. your best friend takes time to know you, your likes and your dislikes.
your best friend understands the difference between ' i need some space' and ' i don't want you anymore'. i mean they don't read meanings to everything you say.
that's why they are your best friend in the first place.
it's not that easy to find a girl or boy friend who will be that understanding. well, maybe you will if you are dating your best friend or one of your best friends! the truth is, it doesn't really matter, best friend, boy friend or girl friend. just accept and love people for who they really are.

You don't get me.

All i am saying is, If ur bf//gf loves you like s/he claims to, then s/he won't care abt how fat you are or whether you fart or stuffs like that. Who should understand you better if not the one you love??

@ hota, damy's talking about boyfriend/ girlfriend (teenagers probably) not husband/wife.
you're really sure you'll last in a relationship with all those conditions?

Seriously, if you have a girlfriend or bf, i see no reason why s/he wouldn't take you just as you her. Why have him/her if s/he wouldnt like you for you? Yeahhhhhhhhh Best friends are Good. But why cant your bf/gf be your bestfriend?? That's my point!

coz it will suck ? you will probabaly spend all the tyme you have with the same person , that sucks

Well if you have a best friend.. You'll spend all your time with Him/her too! Don't u get my point?? Ohh u wanna have 4 best friends... Be my guest and do so!

parce que.. c'est pas possible! bestfriend is different from boyfriend!

see who's barging into others' conversation....

But boyfriend can be bestfriend.

I'll go to sleep now.

The term "BESTFRIEND" explains it all. A best friend will always be better than a girlfriend. It can only take some time for your girlfriend to be a bestfriend. A bestfriend is a friend you trust so much. He knows so many things about you. It has taken a lot of patience to build such friendship, and the person knows your mood better than even your family. They can't be compared.

why are ya all arguing bout best friends and relationships....
No matter how caring ur other half is,there is still this one friend of urs that u can tell anything(bout ur relationship and stuff like that) not becos u trust em,but because u feel free with em.
And the way i see relationship is that you should be free with ur other half cos if ur not the relationship wont last...

SOme people still don't get my point. I ain't saying YOU should have a bestfriend. All i am saying is... why can't ur boyfriend/gf be your bestfriend. YES u can have other friends u feel free with [like sodgi said].

i get wat u saying but wat i'm saying is dat yea ur boyfriend can be ur friend but best friend is dis speacial person . true/best friendz r 4 ever but there is no guarantee on a boifriend. he/she is liable to hurt u either by cheating on u or breaking ur heart by calling it quit. With a bestfriend it's different. u don't worry about whether he/she is looking at dis other cute person and so on. i think d role of a best friend is sorta more dan dat of a boifriend/gurlfriend

My boyfriend is my bestfriend,he is very much himself around me and vice versa.We talk about everything and I mean everything.So its possible for your boyfriend to be your bestfriend.The bottomline is letting down your guard and loving and trusting completely.Ciao!!!

I quite understand what HotA is trying to say here. As jenny said, it's difficult to find a boyfriend these days who will take you for who you are.

For instance, a best friend can stand u if u've got a bad mouth/body odour; but I bet ur boyfriend will take immediate actions the moment he discovers about it. Your best friend will laugh it off when u fart in her presence but ur boyfriend will see u as a pig to have done that in front of him. Therefore, best friends are better than boyfriends.

Capische?

i quite agree with goodguy, if you have a mouth odur,your best friend will be able to stand it.
your best friend will be able to understand u much more than your boy or gal friend.
when you have a problem with ur gal/boy friend,your best friend will be the one who will settle
the dispute among the two of you

ur boyfriend is someone u'll break his heart wen you say its over for a very reason,but ur bestfriend is someone u report the situation to...and ur boyfriend cant be ur bestfriend because he may think sex is a natural thing btw lovers,but a friend can never think of such connection...

very right

I believe best friends are better than boyfriends, but then again u could make ur bestfriend ur boyfriend. I think bestfriends are still better, cos when u r around them, u feel nothing could go wrong. u just care about the friend so much that u dont even think of sex even if the friend is of opposite sex. I feel really comfy around my very good friend, there are certain things u could tell them compared to the boyfriends and it would just feel right.

i agree with hot-angel , my boyfriend is my bestfriend. I do not believe in the notion that among all your friends, u single out one or some as being your best friends(s). There is one reason or the other that attracted you to sum1 in the 1st place that made u take him/her as a friend. I wrote an article about this topic that was published, here is the mink for interested individuals

ma boyfriend is everytin in one, bestfriend,boyfriend,love whteva

they are

It is easier said than done. Your lover can never equal a bestfriend. The reason is that not much trust exists between lovers and that is why their is always a breakup. But a best friend is always there and the trust is always solid and last till old age, mind you that family friends emanated from best friends.

Yes, though it's hard to fairly compare the two. I love my girlfriends so much, they lift my spirits, the only thing though I will complain about is when I frikkin needed to go out to party and take my mind off *ahem* certain things and *ahem* certain people, they were all too busy, and I was stuck at home with the tears and stuff!

yaeh.i totally agreee, beat fren better den a gul fren,,,,,,,,,,,

Huummm, for me not so much though~
