I love this and I love how you handled a hard topic.

As a single female I have had and do have strong friendships with both married and unmarried men. I have a few hard rules I follow and if I answer no to any of them it's time to reevaluate.

1) Am I also friends with their wife/girlfriend even if we aren't as close?

2) Do I hang out with this guy and their wife/girlfriend as much as or more than we do things alone?

3)Would I do this same activity if their wife/girlfriend/mom were there?

4) Does their wife/girlfriend/mom know where we are and are they okay with it?

5) No situations where we're completely alone. Stay above reproach even if we would never.

6) No secrets. If I can't tell others what we did or what we talked about we need to back up.
