Coming from someone who has one of the purest and most wholesome friendships with a guy friend, I believe that a girl and a guy can, after all, be friends, in fact much better than same-*** friendships.

But don’t take it from me, take it from the several men who came forward on a thread on Reddit and openly talked about their female best friends and how they feel having a female best friend has been one of the best things in their lives.

A female Redditor posted on the medium and asked, “Men, what’s the story between you and your bestie who happens to be a woman?” and much to everyone’s surprise quite a few of them got candid about having successful friendships with women.

Here are some of the most interesting stories:

One person shared, “I love this so much! Thank you for sharing. Platonic friendships between opposite sexes do exist!” while another one wrote how a person he confided in 8 years ago remains to be one of his most cherished friends till date.

He wrote, “One day a girl sat next to me in school and started confiding in me. We had some mutual friends, but never really talked to each other or had any sort of interaction. I was in a relationship, she was having some relationship problems. Turns out, one of our mutual friends told her I'm easy to talk to, so she just went with it when she felt lost. That was 8 years ago. I've loved that girl ever since, we talk about every single aspect of our lives and she remains my best friend to this day.”

Guess Bollywood finally has its answer to the long lost question it asks in every romantic comedy - can a girl and a guy just be friends? ‘Hell Yes’, say Redditors!
