Yes... my roommate is a very attractive female who has a boyfriend, and it's not a problem for anyone (and no, I'm not gay). I have a few other really good female friends, some married, some not.... there have conversations about a SO possibly having an issue, but nothing's ever happened and I've never broken off a friendship because it went too far or due to jealousy or any other issues.
I don't see the big deal. Granted, I'm not all that threatening, but I'm not hopeless when it comes to dating, either.... and I've dealt with it both ways, where I'm the one who is interested or they're the one interested.
It's mostly about respect of everyone involved, and being grown up about it.
