    друг

    Hi, I've been wondering for a long time though..
    This may have been discussed here previously, but can I ask you a question?

    My Russian dictionary simply says друг = boyfriend, so if I say,
    У меня есть друг,
    This may sound like "I have a boyfriend"?

    But what do you do when you want to say, not a boyfried,
    "I have a friend of guy?"

    Funny, why doesn't друг have the difference between friend of guy and boyfriend? Or you have another word for friend of guy/girl?
