So I've always had issues with friends at school..like ever since my first year of school, my life has been rather suckish at school with friends. Recently, I chose to become a Christian and have made amazing friends, both men and ladies, from our youth group. My best friend of those is this guy, who is 17, and I'm 14. He is uber awesome and I haven't met anyone that's as good as friends as he is. We've both made it clear that we wanna remain only friends, and because of that are able to joke around and be incredibly open with each other. Is it bad to have a guy as your best friend, in your eyes? I don't really care what others think about me, but I am curious as to what other people's opinions on this matter are. Thanks! :)
 
Of course not. If you feel normal telling them things that you would tell a girl best friend then who cares. I've had a best guy friend since I was 4.
 
I don't think it's strange at all, I have very close platonic guy friends.

I think you will probably take a lot of heat from it just because of the age difference and all, but if you don't care what other people think then it's not a problem.
 
Not at all, but don't be closed minded to the fact that not all guys even if they say they are just wanting to be friends, are really looking for just friendship
 
I think its fine.

During school a girl was my best friend and felt it was easier to talk to her about things I wouldn't be able to talk to my male friends about.
 
I don't think this is too weird at all. I do think it's good for people of the opposite gender to hang out together. I would like to offer you a suggestion though as a Christian myself. I think that you should find a girl who you can be equally close to. Because if you are going to be open with a guy he probably won't completely understand what you're going through or whatever because guys think differently than girls do. Just a suggestion but do with it what you like, I don't find it weird though.
 
i don't think there's a problem with this. Guys are alot easier to get along with they dont have the constant drama like girls do and they are not as judgmental as girls.
 
No it is fine!! But whatever you do, do not start crushing on him!!! Just read some of my questions to understand how complicated it can get. lol. But it is fine if you are friends with a guy. And congratualtions on becoming a Christain!!!!!!
 
Bad? Not, not at all. One of my best friends, of the past 6 years is a male. I've had another very close male friend for 3 years now. It is COMPLETELY possible and normal to have a platonic male-female friendship that never becomes anything more.

However, many people will point to the fact that a lot of male-female friendships START as "just friends" but actually develop into a relationship. That's why people are skeptical. And actually... that's what happened to me. Although I have a few close male friends that never have and never will be anything more or less than good friends, I DID end up marrying someone who started as only a friend, with no intentions of dating.
