Gay Friend 

A phrase used to describe a woman's "best" male friend. In most cases the male in question is not homosexual. The friend is described as Gay to emphasize the fact that, although he is awfully close to the woman, he does not, and will never, be more than a friend to her. In most cases he couldn't be more than a Gay Friend even if he tried.

Being a Gay Friend is not an insult unless the friend in question wants to be something more. In that case he's fucked anyway (figuratively speaking).

A true Gay Friend is completely accepting and aware of his situation. He has no romantic feelings for the woman, and can be trusted to look out for her welfare in the absence of her significant other. In the best of scenarios the Gay Friend is good friends with that significant other, otherwise things tend to get awkward or confrontational. Gay Friends tend to get confrontational in general, they are overly mistrusting of the woman's other male friends, critically judging the motives behind their actions and noticing discrepancies in their attitude based on who is nearby.

In extreme cases he even doubts the sexuality of actual homosexuals, likely due to jealousy. A woman can only have one true Gay Friend, and each one fears being discarded for someone who doesn't have her best interest at heart.
Nick (NOT GAY): *Looks around, does not see Sarahh's boyfriend* Hi Sarah! *Gives Sarahh an unwarranted and too long hug* I haven't seen you since, like, thirty seconds ago.

Dale (Gay Friend {but also NOT GAY}): *Angry glare full of mistrust*

Nick: What? It's just a hug.

Dale: Yeah, and that's just like a penis, but smaller. Leave Sarahh alone Pie Grinder.

*Nick walks away. Not because he cares what Dale says, but because Sarahh's boyfriend is coming back and he's a pussy ass cock-knot.*

Gay friend 

A straight man your girlfriend describes as "gay" in order to make you less suspicious.

More often this "gay friend" is one of her orbiters or one of her secret fuck buddys she can date in broad light without having to worry about you being jealous.

Gay Friend 

A male who spends excessive time with girls who he believes are attracted to him, while in reality are just friends or think he's cute because he's 4 feet tall. Another component of the gay friend is the act of participating in outings, events, or trips, with solely females. The decision of whether or not someone is "the gay friend" is largely based on whether or not he has hooked up with one of the girls he's spending time with. 9 out of 10 times, he has not, and likely won't in the near future; determined to be The Gay Friend. The Gay Friend is never actually homosexual, but deserves the title since he assumes a similar position(and relationship) that of a gay man would with girls. Usually summed up by; if you're hanging out a lot with a girl(s) and you're not scoring...you're the gay friend.

non gay gay friend 

as a male when you have worked your way into being close enough to a female that she shares everything with you as she would a male 'gay friend' but there is absolutely no chance of sex. the no sex clause may be shared or put in the closet by the individual with 'feelings.' if the trust is broken, you are no longer the non gay gay friend.

this is being as deep in the 'friend zone' as humanly possible. you blew it or have now have a great female friend. there is no proof that this does not lead to homosexuality.
