adorable, Actually, no. I am saying this based on the community I grew up in, the schools I’ve attended, and the friends I’ve had. I, personally, didn’t have too many friends that were girls, and now, I also don’t. But most of my “guy” friends have plenty, and just about all of them are wonderful, responsible, mature, and all of their friendships with girls (except for one guy who is dating a long-time friend) are just friendships. I honestly don’t see anything coming from it. But that’s just for people who have grown up that way. I think for people who haven’t, it’s a bad idea to start it now. I’m not saying growing up with opposite sex friendships is right or wrong (I happen to think it depends on a lot of things), I’m just saying that continuing those friendships won’t hurt nearly as much as starting new ones with people who have never had such friendships.
