Why CAN’T we be friends?
February 18, 2008
“Friendless I can never be, for all mankind are my kindred…”
~Charles Dickens
Friendship to me is one of the most valuable gifts the world has bestowed upon humanity. Our friends are proud of us when we are at our best and they lift us up when we are at our worst. Friends know your flaws and shortcomings…and they love you anyway.
So what about cross-sex friendships? Are they an appealing but impossible ideal? Will the sexual tension always exist like a great wall between you? Will jealous significant others disallow friendships with the opposite sex? Or perhaps it is as straightforward as men and women simply being too different.
