haha sorry that i’m not good at english
i wanna ask is there a word describing….
a man’s best girl friend(the relationship between 2 opposite sex close friends)
em….a bit more than friendship, but a bit less than love(between man and woman)
just pure friendship without any sexual relations
2 of them treat each other as their best friend…but a bit more

i dunno how to describe it…
because i know that there’s a word in chinese is perfectly descibed this..紅顏知己
just wondering what is it in english..

Today in corporate America, we might even hire a worthy female confidant and make her our “personal secretary” so as to elude all those indefatigable, prying eyes & nagging questions, however foregone but sure to crop up sooner or later!

p.s.  Thus it would really help if you just transcribed (simplified) 中华文字 or (traditional) 中華文字 Zhōnghuá wénzì “Chinese characters” good enough to appear in such lucid text as yours above!

Bosom buddy is often used in this context, used in nearly the same effect in Cornershop’s “Brimful of Asha” album in 1997.
