Comments on: The “Friend of the Opposite Sex” Wall http://www.itmightbelove.com/2008/04/01/the-friend-of-the-opposite-sex-wall/ dating & relationship inspiration Wed, 05 Jan 2011 09:05:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Doug http://www.itmightbelove.com/2008/04/01/the-friend-of-the-opposite-sex-wall/#comment-1558 Doug Wed, 15 Oct 2008 05:25:20 +0000 http://www.itmightbelove.com/2008/04/01/the-friend-of-the-opposite-sex-wall/#comment-1558 I really enjoyed this article. It's nice to hear an encouraging side about just drawing a boundary. My quandary is that I often find that women are so much more capable of having an opposite-sex friend than men are. I am in a rare minority as a male. This topic is a huge pet peeve to me, and I am wondering where I can read some other psychological advice on this topic other than all the message boards out there. This is one of those make or break issues for many couples, and I know it is for me. I believe it's rare for a man to be proper friends with a female if he believes she is attractive. If he doesn't already like her, he often falls for her soon enough anyway. Too much life experience says opposite sex friendships are a huge sign of impending trouble. I really enjoyed this article.
