boyfriend's/girlfriend's friend of opposite sex

Taurus guys and gals, question for you- how do you feel about your girlfriend/boyfriend hanging alone with his/her friend of the opposite sex?
I am Libra and I have understanding for my boyfriend seeing close friends of any sex, I am not really the jelous type. BUT! Since I am all about team work, partnership and such... I don't like the thaught of another woman (no matter is it his friend or wath) being more intimate/close to my boyfriend then I. Well there can be exceptions, if for example there is a story conecting them and I feel perfectly calm about it, but usually then not I feel very uncomfortable if my boyfriend is close to a female friend in a way that he will open up to her. I am never afraid taht he would cross me. The intimacy of the soul is something I am jelous of. (I would expect my boyfrend to feel the same towards me,understand it perfectly)
And since I am dating a Taurus...
I have the example between us from the other night. he was out hanging with his friends and I went out for a drink with my male friend that I know for a looong time. Afterwars we agreed to meet. So we met, everything was absolutely normal between us nothing suspitious or strange "in the air". Tomorrow suddenly a thought come into my mind how maybe it is not quite alright that I hang with my male friend as often as I used to when I wasn't in a relationship. It is ok that I hang with him, but much less and preferably not alone always. My boyfriend never spoke about it as some kind of problem and I was open and clear about it as something perfectly normal. And it is, but now I am in a relationship and I don't want to make my boyfrind unconfortable (speacially since we are together for 3 month now) When I come up with that to him, saying I made a decision about seeing my male firends, he was shocked first of all cause I made that aditude willingly and he appreaciate it imensely, he said it would be unfair from him to ask me such a thing but now that we actually think the same he was sooo happy. (think he fell in love with me once again) He said he was not really jelous yesterday evening but it did gave him some unconfortable feeling.(guess the same one I would have)
I have no issues with it. If someone wants to cheat, they will do so regardless..therefore go ahead Big Grin.
I have a lot of male friends - gay and straight. My bfs always knew they came first no matter what.

Yeah, this one. It sounds insane to me to ask from anyone not to hang out with friends of the opposite sex just because they're in a relationship. Trust.
I'm so anti-competitive when it comes to relationships it's not even funny. No Aries/Libra axis I guess.
It depends on the type of friendship....
I have a few male close friends. I have known them 19, 14, & 12 years respectively. These individuals are a permanent part of my integral circle. My boyfriend knows who they are. He's been introduced to them. We all crack jokes and have a great time. My friends are his friends.
However, for any random individual who attempts to hand me his phone number and 'allegedly' wants to be friends without getting to know my man, or intentionally avoids meeting my man...I will have to admit, definitely has an agenda...especially if he's attempting to make plans to hang out.
We don't need to be friends.
I'm not restrictive, but I'm nobody's fool.

I agree on that one.
Basically,I am asking cause me and my guy are still fresh couple and I simply want to make him feel comfortable while we still learn each other and gaining trust. That is why I decided on seeing that particular male friend a little less then before, not a big deal. I would never give up on my friend for a guy, but showing a little bit of care for how my guy feels about it won't do any harm. I know I would appreciate such and act if it were the other way around.
For me as long as you are up front about the friendship from the beginning I do not get jealous. I know it is your friend and I respect that and will actually incourage you going out with them. Just dont ever use your friend to make your bf jealous...you would be surprised how many people try that and for a taurus it just doesnt work...it upsets us and then we lose trust and will end the relationship. I actually get jealous of past loves if you talk about them a lot in a way that it seems that there are still feelings...after you have done that a few times the green eyed monster comes out. :/

This is very accurate. Why would anyone want to stir up the horn reaction of a Bull?
I can never love someone like this wholeheartedly. Your heart belongs to someone else....
Why should my heart belong to you?
It is truly all or nothing with me.
The green eyed monster will come out,
But always being such a gracious lady, I will politely direct him to the exit sign and help him on his way out.

Would never do that. Never have, even when I craved for attention. Don't like playing games of such sort. I would always go for being open an say what is bugging me even if it will result in an argument.
