In this episode, we discuss whether or not we should be friends with our male friends and if it's better to be friends or not. We also talk about the benefits of being friends with a male friend and how to deal with a situation where you can't have sex with them.
00:00:00.000But I think when you're both like in a relationship, say he's married and I'm married, I think maybe that's different because I prefer it because I've had actually an example of a male friend and we were really good friends.
00:00:13.560And it just got to a point where, I mean, he did express that he felt something in that sense towards me.
00:00:19.620And it obviously made it awkward because I was also friends with his wife.
00:00:31.600But, you know, I kind of said before, actually, do you know what, in the situation before he said that, we can't just be friends, you and I.
00:00:37.900It's either like we're friends as couples or not at all kind of thing.
00:00:41.760And he didn't want to be friends as couples because he actually felt uncomfortable with me around his wife because he felt an attraction towards me.
00:00:49.360So that kind of messed up the friendship there.
00:00:52.180So I think that, yeah, I think it's OK.
00:00:54.420Like if you're friends with a guy, but he's got a wife and you're friends with a wife and he's friends with your husband, like that sort of thing.
00:01:00.860Like as a woman, I feel like to make the other women comfortable, like you always just need to make ties with her.
00:01:06.880Like even with my friend, with his girls, like I've always been that girl who's like, oh, like, hey, like, if we're chilling together, like say we're at a drink cup or something, I'm going to go to her.
00:01:23.660I want you to know that I'm not a threat to you.
00:01:25.300And I think if your friend who you friend zone, let's say, for example, yeah, OK, if I gave you a window, you would jump through the window.
00:01:33.280But understand I'm never giving you a window.
00:01:35.440So if you are happy to settle for that, then that's up to you.
00:03:44.380You can be around my partner, that's okay.
00:03:46.200An associate, you can't come into my house as an associate because there's different levels to it.
00:03:50.220But I have heard, should I say like friend boys of mine or like acquaintances of mine, say they started talking to a long-term friend of theirs, like in a different way.
00:04:02.580And then they would be like, funny, I've never looked at her that way.
00:04:27.860I think that what she's, I agree with what she's saying because it's like, at the end of the day, you can be in a relationship with someone or you can end up getting with someone that you've been friends with, but it would not have started off like that.
00:04:38.740Like they could have seen you in a whole different light.
00:04:40.640But until you actually put it out there, they didn't think twice about it.
00:04:44.040Like before it would have been like, oh yeah, this is my boy.
