Generally, when a male is talking about a friend that is a female, he simply refers to her as a "friend" rather than "girlfriend", as this may cause some confusion from time to time. The same goes for his male friends. Girls, on the other hand, you may often time hear referring to their female friends as "girlfriends", but their guy friends as just "friends". (WordReference.com)
In America, women here often call their female friends "girlfriends". Example: "My girlfriend and I were at the mall the other day, and suddenly we ran into her girlfriend! It was amazing..." However, women do not call their male friends "boyfriends". (italki)
