Hi, stumbled across your post while looking at the recent activity. That’s pretty much how I find everything on here. LOL

Also, what about the best male/female friends who really love each other but not romantically?

I recently read the Promise of Jesse Woods, the book they have been reviewing on here recently. It was very good.

In that story, Jesse and the boy (can’t remember his name) are best friends for most of their childhood. (I would recommend reading that book if you haven’t already)

In the story I am writing right now, Chloe (my MC), is very close friends with a guy, but not in a romantic way at all. (I posted the first chapter in Contemporary Fiction if you want to read it,)

But you are right and I totally agree with you on that.

This isn’t actually something that I’ve noticed/thought about before, but now that I am thinking about it, I can’t think of many good stories out there with Best Friend-type relationships.

But I’ve just been wondering, are people afraid to portray, or even be in those kind of relationships because they can be seen as weird or even gay? Because I know a lot of people can see them that way, but it just seems wrong to me to shy away from portraying them because of that.

I agree. Don’t just avoid putting close relationships in writing because of the way the world has twisted relationships. God intended for man to have friends (ex: Adam & Eve, David & Jonathan-you mentioned that :)- and my mind is drawing a blank now but I know there are more).
