Are you able to be "just friends" with the opposite sex?
Let's face it: the opposite sex is complicated. You have two different bodies. Two different chromosomes. Two different cultures.
In addition, there's a strong chemical attraction, and you can't just flush it out with a bug repellent.
There's you. There'sthem. There's testosterone and estrogen.
If you strip away the gender details, and start with the person, your differences will morph into fun.
When it comes to seeing the person behind the gender, you may need to brush up on your skills. Perhaps too aware of the emotional attraction (or, in some cases, the utter gap) between you...may lead you astray.
In other words, being "just friends" with the opposite sex (for you) may be an uncomfortable notion. There may be issues of temptation and self-control, for example.
