Socially Acceptable?

I met this guy Nate* on set a while ago. And we're just friends. We were close on set and hung out a lot. We would always have so much fun. He would hug on me and we'd talk a lot which was nice. He's also married and is 9 years older than I am. I have guy friends and older guy friends, but this is really the first person that I've been friends with a married man. My friend Tameron* just got married, but we've been close friends for the last four years. that's different. Plus, I know his wife.

Nate is someone new that I've met, and we're friends, but I know I have to be careful about how people see that. I know that Nate and I can't hang out without a million other people around or it looks funny. Not that either of us have interest in the others, but we have to worry about social issues. The thought didn't even cross my mind until the other day when I thought how others might see that.

Is it still a taboo for single women to be friends with older, married men? I'm not entirely sure in this day and age what people think.
