Many people think that girls can't have boy best friends because they will end up falling for them. Sometimes that's the case, but not all the time. I have a guy best friend because he gives me a man's perspective on different issues that are happening in my life. He gives me advice about how to deal with all the men in my life, and that's very helpful. I think of my guy best friend as a big brother. He's there for me in a way that no one else has been.

I do NOT have romantic feelings for my best friend. My best friend and I have had many emotional conversations, but at the end of the day they don't change anything in our friendship. I know I can go to him for anything that's been happening in my life and he will give me an unbiased opinion. The best thing about having a guy best friend is the fact that there's rarely ever any drama.

Not only does he give me an unbiased opinion, but he gives me a non-emotional opinion. My best friend is more than a best friend, he's like a brother. He may drive me crazy and make me mad at him, but at the end of the day he would take a bullet for me and for that I am forever grateful. Having a boy as a best friend was the best thing I have ever done and I'm glad to not only call him my best friend, but my "little" brother.
