of course it is!!! All MY friends are blokes and it doesn't bother me (or them) that i don't have any girl-buddies (except one, which i met just a few days ago). there is nothing wrong with boys. they can be just as good, or even BETTER friends than girls! they r sooo much more fun and easy to be with that once u get to know how cool they r, you might not want to spend ur free time with girls any more! of course that depends on the type of person u r. i myself never felt too comfortable around girls, and even as a kid i only hung out with boys. \n\nso take it from me, girl: if u enjoy their company, don't let anyone tell u that it's wrong! and if that fella u call ur best friend TRULY sees u as a friend and NOT as a g/f, then u should be proud to have him! he could be the best thing that happened to u! do u have any idea how much he can teach u that a girl would NEVER be able to????

Absolutely.  I'm male and straight, and all my best friends are female.

Define "normal". Normal is different for everyone. Theres a natural curiousity in this area and  I believe everyone has thought about it at least once whether they admit it or not. Does your friend know how you feel? It may be a phase for you and it may not, only you can decide that. You may be attracted to both males and females. You might benefit from talking to a trusted adult about this. Good luck, growing up is tough, Keep your chin up.

I'M IN A SIMILAR SITUATION LIKE THAT. ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS A MALE AND HE EXPRESSED HIS FEELINGS FOR ME AND I TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD BE BETTER AS FRIENDS. WE ARE STILL AS CLOSE AS WE EVER WERE. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD FEAR LOSING HER AS A FRIEND BECAUSE IF YOU ALL ARE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS, YOU EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS TO HER SHOULD NOT CHANGE WHAT YOU TWO HAVE. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FOR THE BEST AND YOU SHOULD JUST GO FOR IT. GOOD LUCK...

Sure it's okay to have gay friends. I don't think there is anything wrong, it's like having a friend who is a different religion, as long as they don't impose their beliefs on me, I'm ok with it. So as long as your gay friend doesn't impose his beliefs on you, it's ok.

You should have friends that are boys.  I wouldn't think that you are ready for a one on one relationship with a boy yet.  That will come later when you are about 16 or so.

Hon,\nIt may be hard to "lose" this friend who you have undoubtedly gone through hell and high water with.  HOWEVER, what you need to keep in ming is that your friend is still going to be the same person internally that she was when you were both growing up.  If you truly love your friend and you truly view her as your friend, then you will accept that getting a sex change is going to make her happy.  Sure, it's going to take some getting used to seeing her become a him, but you've got to anticipate that he is going to have a lot of hesitation projected towards him to begin with and a supportive friend is really going to help in his progression.

I'm kind of in the same situation...only I am in love with my best friend so that could be the cause, huh?  Anyway, if your love for him is only as a friend, you're probably thinking of him as a brother, and close siblings are generally protective of each other.  It's okay to be protective, just don't let it get in the way of your friendship.

You need to have a talk with your best friend about how you two are always going to be best friend through thick and thin always and forever.Guys come and go but friends stay forever.

not unless you think it will work between the two of you. if you care and he's your friend wouldn't you feel awful for leading him on and hurting him? maybe you just think of him like a brother or something.

There is nothing wrong with loving your best friend and he being another guy. Or are you saying you want to be in a relationship with him? If that is the case then...Is you guy friend gay? You need to decide if your friendship is strong enough to handle that kind of question. If you two are best friends you should know what his sexual orientation is. If you are "best friends" you should be able to tell him anything right...

If he is your best friend, this question wouldn't be necessary. Best friends know each other deeply. I suspect he doesn't feel the same way you do, but you would like it to be that way. Ask him straight out and expect the truth. A best friend will not lie to you.

There is NOTHING wrong with your friend to like a boy romantically. The only thing is, if the boy he's crushing on has a girlfriend, then he should back off. If you were truly his friend, you would accept him for what he is, not what you would like him to be.

That happens alot when you're best friend is of different sex. You hang around every day, you talk all the time, so you start to have a crush. You can like him, but you should be aware that if something does happen between yous, then your friendship may never be the same agian. Though you may be happyily in love forever, if that changes, the friendship could be lost. My best friend is a male, and I never had a crush on him, mainly because I know how he is with woman, so I could never date him. Alot of times, girls wish they could have a guy like their best friend. Just think about what you really want to do, and act on it. You only live once.
