Depends on the date. I have 2 single male friends. One I see every so often, the other I have lunch with almost every week. In both cases they are absolutely just friends. Both know my H and my son. Both just cheer me up and keep me from having to eat alone. There is no flirting, no romantic talk. I talk about my H for the most part and they give me a guy point of view. They are both people who would stay in my life if my marriage worked out as they were friends before all this happened.
New male friend? Not friends with H? I don't know. I will say this, my H 's OW was a LBS and it was a huge factor in the affair and still is. Be careful. She went after my H big time as she was so hurt and he wanted to rescue her.
