Dear beginner25:

I think I understand. In that case, no need to make guy friends for the purpose of having friends.

I think it is a good idea though that if you are considering having a relationship with a man then get to know him as a friend first. If that happened with the man this thread is about, if you got to know him as a friend first, you would have learned, I hope, that he is impulsive, that he is not willing to be monogamous if geographically away from a girlfriend. At that point, after knowing these things, then you could decide if to be his girlfriend.

If you got to know him first as a friend, you would have had the information you needed to make a wise choice and avoid getting “a broken heart for the first time” (in the title of your thread).

Does that make sense to you?
