Opposite Sex Long Term Friendships

  Opposite sex long term friendships can be tricky if you have a jealous boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. I’ve never had a jealous boyfriend or husband in my life but I have seen the results of those that did and it wasn’t pretty. If you have that kind of a situation I suggest pen pals or maybe your friend could try to become friends with your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. But if they do please keep a safe distance from your friends. It should be comfort enough just to know they are there close by.

  Eventually the probability is you will all get married and or go into business of some sort and end up going in different direction over the years. If that happens, keep in touch as pen pals sending pictures and keeping each other updated as to what went on in your lives. I suggest monthly news letters to each other talking about what you did and how you did it, etc.

  Meanwhile enjoy each other’s company every chance you get. Go shoot some pool, catch a movie or a play, go bowling, go horseback riding, etc. have fun enjoying life and the experiences life has to offer. Later on you may not have the opportunity to do it again.

  Those that are able to stay close together will find life and growing up in it festinating and full of wonderful things too. You will be the lucky ones to have your close friends nearby to celebrate with, comfort each other when needed; and be at each others side during hard times. There is nothing like the touch and feel of a good close friend to share your ups and downs with.

  Be careful though, some really close opposite sex friendships become occasional lovers and can cause feelings to get hurt if one or the other actually mistakes it for love. Rarely does actual love develop out of an opposite sex long term friendship. Some times they end up marrying one of your same sex friends but most often it’s someone else you don’t know at all.

  Opposite sex friends doesn’t like having their secretes out about past escapades and shenanigans they’d pulled so don’t be too disappointed or surprised if you’re not introduced to his/her love. Do keep aware though so you don’t become the other man/woman in a situation you hadn’t planned on; and end up loosing your friend because of it. The moment you find out your friend is involved back off and give your friend some space and time.
