My best friend is a guy, and that's ok. I have plenty of friends who are women, some whom are my best friends, but no one gets me the way my boy does. He's always ready to listen to my problems du jour and tell me that I'm right. However, when people find out that my best friend is a dude, they automatically assume that there's some Monica-Chandler type vibes between us. Here are some of the most annoying questions to answer

1. Oh, I love Gay Best Friends! You're soooo lucky to have one!

Not only is a "gay best friend" incredibly offense, as it essentially trivializes gay men and their sexuality, but just because a man is my friend, doesn't make him gay.

2. He must have a crush on you

I can promise you he doesn't. Especially after I fill him in on the gross things that happen to me.

3. You guys have dated, right?

Absolutely not.

4. Platonic friendships don't exist.

In the words of Dwight Schrute, False.

5. Aw, you guys should totally get together! You'd be such a cute couple!

6. Does he get jealous of your boyfriends?

I'm currently super single, but in the past, I think he's liked my boyfriends more than me.

7. Do you get jealous of his girlfriend?

Absolutely not. If anything, I want him to have a girlfriend even more than he wants one.

8. Does it ever get awkward?

Yeah, but only because we're both awkward people.

9. Do you hate girls or something?

The fact that I'm such good friends with a guy has nothing to do with his gender.
