Question: Can a guy & a girl be best friendss? 

Answer: Definitly yes. Others may make remarks and tease you about there being more and that just shows their ignorance in the matter. Don't waste a good friendship by listening to others. I have found that most of my life, men are the best friends I ever had. They aren't judgemental as some women can be and I don't have to put up with the jealousy that women seem to come across with, unless its their girlfriend or wife,lol. That is when I back off. No need in causing problems where it can be avoided. A trick to the friendship is to include the partner in the friendship where possible.
