I know its uncommon, but my best friend is a attractive young lady I have know for over 10 years now, and I intend to be friends for many more years to come. However every relationship I have been in those 10 years at some point they always gotten jealous of her, your thoughts ?..... and yes friends mean's friendly touches only......

Well, I wouldn't go advertising this to your partners.

In fact, I wouldn't even mention it.

I have had never someone I was dating complain about how I acted around her, however I question if it was never mentioned, we do't hang on each other or anything like that

Every women I been dating though has made some comments about her looks

We had a relatively recent guy poster whose best friend was female, and couldn't understand why his girlfriend was upset that he often hung out alone with said attractive female best friend until 2 AM or later, at her place. He had the nerve (naivety?) to call his girlfriend "controlling" because she objected to this.

It all depends on how you act with your female friend. Did you used to date, and do you flirt? Do you often hang out with her alone late at night without your GF? Are you constantly sharing secretive text messages with your friend? Or is everything above-board and do you include your girlfriend when you socialize?

A female best friend on it's own is not a deal-breaker for me. A female best friend who seems more like your girlfriend/crush/flirt-mate would be.

so what do you do, show them a pic and say "this is my best friend"?

if they dont know how you act around her they wont be liable to say anything about that.

the only way that i *might* (and its a stretch) be jealous is if she was greater than supermodel gorgeous *and* the guy was acting a certain way around her that seemed like he wanted more than friends.

there is no way to really know based on the info that you have given, at least not for me.

Agree with WonderWomen.

Nothing wrong with the friend, but if your partners perceive your behavior is altered by her, you're asking for trouble.

Well she needs to realize that you could have easily picked your friend, but instead, you chose her. A lot of people allow their insecurities to get in the way sometimes, which in turn, can hurt them in the long run. I was in this situation once and all I did was invite my friend over and we all hung out. She came to appreciate her because she came to realize that she was no harm at all.
