Can you have a female best friend and a girlfriend?

((2 seperate people if wasn’t clear))
As long as everyone trusts each other, sure. It helps exponentially if:
A. There’s no romantic history with the best friend
B. The best friend and the girlfriend (or wife) are also friends

I have been friends with a man and his wife for 21 years now. She knows her husband and I are like siblings; I’m godmother to one of their children.

@bijouxbroussard That’s nice! I guess after 21 years trust is definitely built up, how was it in beginning?
@MrMonnyPenny He and I originally worked together. I was an instructor at our company and he was a new salesman. And we just became friends, had lunch together. He invited me to meet his family, wife, baby daughter, brothers, sisters and parents. They had two more children, and now a grandchild. I get invited to all the birthday parties and a few times a year I go visit.

Of course, you can but it can go both ways.

@Adamski24 pretty true. I just don’t think a healthy relationship means throwing away healthy relationships with other people, not that it’s come to that yet

My ex husband had a female best friend. I got on ok with her. My current boyfriend has only female friends lol

Yes but I find a lot of internal conflict because I am very attracted to my friend
Of course! But eventually the girlfriend will get jealous.

@geoam1 Any advice over how to avoid jealous feelings, whilst maintaining friendships? / give reassurances

Hey females.. if I’m hanging around all day.. it’s not because I want a girl bestie, or I’m gay.
I’m just too shy to bust a move!

I guess yes but I don't see much sense in it. Why having a girlfriend who isn't also your best friend?
