Why can't we just be friends?
My best friend is a guy,(we'll call him #) and I'm a girl. I'm bisexual, he's straight (or so he says). I have a girlfriend, he's single. We're both 16. EVERYONE at our school thinks we're either dating, or he has a crush on me. I know for a fact he doesn't. We told each other everything, and after a misunderstanding last year, we said that we would be transparent if we started having crushes on each other. He's actually good friends with my girlfriend.
I've been friends with # for 3 years, so we're very close. We always partner up in class, are on the same teams in gym, and choose to sit next to each other in our shared classes. We have NEVER had a romantic experience.
It gets super annoying when people are constantly telling me to break up with my girlfriend for him because it would be, "much cuter".
I hate it so much. We both hate it so much. I get asked all the time, "Are you dating #???" Jokingly, like it's funny when every hour of the day the same joke is made.
Can a guy and a girl just be friends?

That sucks, and yeah it's crazy how people push you into what they think is a "cute" relationship even though it's not what you want. I guess it's unheard of for a straight guy to be friends with a girl. If he was gay then everyone would understand because "the gay guy friend" is common in tv shows and movies 🙄 But your situation probably confuses people because society hasn't established it.
I'm trying to think of a good comeback whenever someone says you should go out with him... but nah it's probably best to just ignore them like they didn't say anything. Maybe they'll take a hint if you simply don't react at all. Just do your thing.
