And another thing!!!

And another pet peeve recently. Why can't a girl be best friends with a guy? My best friend is a guy and everyone assumes that there is more to it than there really is. I mean why can't a girl just be friends with a guy? Why is that impossible? So it ruins possibilities because people think something is going on that isn't and people are always gossiping about it all the time. I hate it. He is my best friend that I don't have romantic feelings for it is possible.
