GBFs are all the rage these days, but what does that mean? Not so long ago, it was common to hear guys and girls go on about Girls’ Best Friends or Ladies’ Best Buddies when referring to their friends of the opposite sex, especially if they were single (this was back when having a boyfriend or girlfriend meant that both parties were in relationships). However, today’s culture looks at this term differently. A GBF is someone you can be around without feeling the need to have sex with them or date them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-coma-cast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-coma-cast/support
