Close guy friends vs boyfriend

Girls, how do you see your best guy friends vs your boyfriend? How do you treat them differently and in terms of what you do, how different is it?

Is that the only difference?
The main difference is romantic and sexual, surely?
Sure, I might cook dinner with my partner one night and cook dinner with a friend on another night, for example, but the vibe is very different, and I certainly wouldn't sleep with my friend afterwards :tongue:

Er, I'm not sure this is something that can be fully explained without just experiencing it. It's just different - one is friendly and loving, and one is romantic and loving.

We are not attracted to each other. I avoid friendships with guys I find attractive.

How do you know they don’t find you attractive?

Because I distance myself away if they start to act in a way that makes me think they might be attracted to me. Plus a fair proportion of my closer male friends over the years have been gay :tongue:

Interesting. How do guys act that make you think they might be attracted to you?

It's hard to describe. But every time I've thought a guy liked me, I have been correct.
