Practice dates?

See, I have experienced that as well. After my husband died, his best friend became my best friend for awhile. Before my husband died, he told me that he thought this friend would try to move in on his spot and not to let him. So before my husband died when we were all three in the room I said "Hey, Mike thinks your going to try to move in on his spot" just to put it out in the open so it never happened, cuz I knew once he died I would be vulnerable and I didn't want to be a widow statistic that ended up with my husbands friend. Plus I was never attracted to him in that way, just as a great friend, and he and I experienced my husbands death together, and that was something not many people understand. But then this woman becomes attracted to him, and she's there like ALL the time. And all my family is telling me that now that she's in the picture him and I can no longer be friends, to which I said BullSh*T. But then it became apparant that she was VERY jealous of me, even though I told her I had NO interest in my friend. I go out of my way to be HER friend too, but I eventually had to back peddle on the friendship thing, because of her. We are all still friends, but I lost my close friend, but all in all, it's OK I DO have other friends. But I never for once believed that just because I am the opposite sex, I can't be just friends with someone. But alot of people see this as a no no or a no go so.....what's a girl to do. Anyway, thanks for the reply and if I ever DO date....I'll let cha know how it goes lol.
