Is it normal to avoid being friends with the opposite sex for this reason?

If we both single
Or both taken
Then we cool lets chat up and be friends

But if one of us is single and the other taken... I feel very cautious and avoid. Dont wanna risk being a homewrecker

    Have you had people try to make you their side piece in the past?

    I think that's decent, the world would be better off with more people like you.

    It’s good to consider the possibility that your intentions may be misinterpreted, but if you value the friendship, establish boundaries and stick by them.

      ... but if the so called friend doesn't respect the boundaries one has set, and repeatedly tries to violate those boundaries then it's not worth staying friends with the person.

      You can have different sex friends and not come off as creepy or trying to infringe on their partners sanctity.

    Why would you be a homewrecker if your friend had a partner? You can't control your body?? You would suddenly be UNCONTROLABLY attracted to your friend???Sounds pretty sketchy. One of my male friends has a partner since a while back now and he's had feelings for me before so i've been curious on and off about dating him (but always came to the conclusion he's not my type) and so far i'm not a homewrecker. Who knows though... Maybe one day when the fullmoon rises...

    I think you’re getting ahead of yourself.

    That’s ridiculous. That would be like saying a gay person shouldn’t have any friends of the same gender, that have a different relationship status. If you and your friendship group can not be trusted enough to have platonic friendships regardless of your relationship status, then I would suggest you take a long hard think about yourself and your personal values in life.
