Most of my friends are of the opposite sex! I find it's much easier to hang out with girls then guys. They keep it more intersting, with the guys is pretty much doing the same ol stuff everyday. From my own experience yes you can be friends with the opposite sex and not be romantically connected. Yeah it's fun to hang with guys, but girls keep me on my feet they never seem to bored me. Plus they are so much easier on the eyes, smell better, and give one hell of a hugs!

An interesting topic! I think it's possible to be friends with members of opposite sex.
But you need to set the boundaries, for example you only talk about work/homework or something in general when you talk to him/her especially when both of you are singles, no bf/gf yet.
Because when you get into personal life with singles of opposite sex, you need to limit it like once a week, keep some distance, not too emotional, because once emotion gets involved, it will probably affect the friendships.
Once again, you are an adult, you know what to do. For god sake, take control of your own life.
People do make mistakes so they can learn. So dont worry to make mistakes, it will make you a better person. Good Luck =)

I have more male friends than I do female friends. For some reason, its easier for me to connect with them. It was never awkward and it never involved anything "sexual". My best friend is a man. The first time I met him was at a a party and we connected really well. There was nothing beyond friendship though. We knew that when we met. We just had a lot in common.

I feel that it is very easy to have friends of the opposite sex; if you are a genuine and honest person you should not have any problems at all

You do have to be careful as there are alot of people out there that just trys to take advantage of people.

I find that men dont mind having female friends, but those woman who fawn all over them flirting ect are not people that they want to be friends with at least close friends.
As it cannot get to the friendship stage because it is akward.

Woman just need to remember be themselves and open minded to try new things, but there is no need to change yourself for anyone male or female; If someone likes you they will like you for you.

I don't think friendship with members of the opposite sex is rare..but it doesn't come as often has friendship with friends of mutual sex for obvious reasons.. i mean most of my friends are female.. i have very few good male friends..and when i DO seem to get along well with a male friend, our relationship turns awkward due to the fact that the male friend always wants to take it to another level. -_-"

Friends with the opposite sex is possible in highschool and college, but once you get into a serious relationship it's not. It's sad but true, all girls can be friends with guys but not all guys can be friends with girls. If guys find them the slightest bit attractive they will want more. For example, watch Chris Rock's comedy Bring the Pain or the movie When Harry Met Sally. For some reason guys always think they can get with their female friend, no matter what the situation and despite the friend zone. Plus females will drag a guy along just for the attention they get. In the end, you get married and you no longer have friends.

Hmmm...I would have to say that "best friend" can be of the opposite sex. One of my two best friends happens to be of the opposite sex. I can talk to him about anything and everything. We have discussed all topics under the sun...from a to z, but mostly about computers softwares and hardwares. We would be on the phone almost every night discussing the various methods of how gates can be combined to build the one most perfect motherboard.

Growing up, I have always been a "tomboy" and wanted to do everything that my brother or cousin got into: climbing trees and rooftops, fishing, hunting, playing console and pc games, and even cutting my hair short. Now as a grown up, thinking about all of the adventures that I had growing up, I would have to say that I have more fun with the opposite sex. I can talk to them about computers, cars, guns, sports, and games...and for some even math. I find myself clueless when it comes to makeups and what not.

My boyfriend doesn'
show moreural to have a male and female friendship, but who cares. It shouldn't be base on what society dictates, it's all about who you have more in common with. If I find that I get along and have similar interests with the opposite sex, then my friends will consist of mostly males than females.
