Can Men & Women Just Be Friends? with Dr. Jade Teta
January 31, 2023
It’s a question that’s been around forever: can men and women just be friends? Who better than to discuss this with than with one of my nearest and dearest friends, Dr. Jade Teta, host of The Next Level Human podcast and co-host of an ongoing Relationships Series here on Room To Grow™ (more episodes below).
While Jade and I (like many others) have maintained a very long and close platonic relationship as heterosexual individuals, there remains some cultural and evolutionary disbeliefs that a man and woman can indeed be just friends.
Today, we’re talking about what it takes for men and women to carry on a platonic relationship and the beautiful benefits of having close friends of the opposite sex.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- How men and women can be platonic friends without attraction
- Drawing the line between a romantic relationship and friendship
- Creating boundaries with friends
- Gossiping about your partner to friends
- The benefits of platonic, cross-sex relationships
- Maintaining friendships outside your relationship
- Can you be friends with an ex?
I’d love to hear your experiences being just friends with someone of the opposite sex. Email me or DM me on Instagram @emilygoughcoach
