If they are both single... Yes!

Otherwise , complications can set in.. The silly bint may not understand the late night get togethers, the casual meet ups , the out of the blue phone calls and the gift wrapped xmas present - even though you explain that its for your best friend.. :O(

from what I've seen with my friends having a best a friend of the opposite sex, it usually doesn't work out. One will always, always fall for the other. And that's back home, so in this society, I don't think it's ever possible... being away from your family and all brings out emotions and a tendency to confuse one's feelings. But, I don't know what I'm talking about so I'll just shut up. :)

Yes I think a male and female can be best friends...why not ?? not everyone looks at it from the view that there has to be something or it may develop into something... Friends are friends

let me think now...

Oh yea, a boy and a girl can be the BEST FRIEND in our society provided that they shouldn't go for LOVEY DOVEY messages at later stage..Friendship has some boundaries and limitations..And both should follow this..

Bestfriends? why not? but be sure that friendship is all you got for being bestfriends... cause some male and female in this society today, utter the word bestfriend or define their relationship us bestfriend, but deep down inside them, there is some very instinct emotions, a beautiful, unfathomable emotions for each other, that only the two of them knows very well.. it's either the situation doesnt allow them to be more than a bestfriend relationship that's why it's better to leave it at that point, rather than go to the next level and complicate things more, sometimes it will become you and i against the earth... lol...

just my opinion...

My best friend is a female who is two months older than me. We both are married and our sposes also know each other and they respect our frienship. We are free to talk anything and everything and sometimes our spouses are jelous that we share certain things that are not known to them.

But still, we carry on our friendship and the family lives without any problem. The only thing required is the correct mindset

the actual question could be:

"Do you think that a male and female can ONLY be best friends in this society?" (NO OTHER RELATION INVOLVED)

this can be a fun debate for many
