FRIENDSHIP WITH THE OPPOSITE S*X (INTRODUCTION)
The issue of maintaining a truly platonic (non-s*xual) relationship with a friend who is of the opposite s*x has been a major concern for young people.
You met a girl or a guy in your Youth Fellowship group or in your local church who probably was visiting for the first time, and you get talking, both online and offline; she is such a good girl or guy with a great personality. You really want to be close to the person as a good friend.
If you’ve decided not to play the dating game as a Christian and suspend romance till you are married (of course, you should do that), the only logical thing to do is for the two of you to be friends with no strings attached.
Lots of young people actually want to keep a plain, pure, non-s*xual relationship with members of the opposite s*x but often discover that they have been crossing the line of true friendship into romance (consciously or unconsciously). Sometimes they struggle not to show any sign of romance but suffer from internal conflicts over taming their s*xual desires, which make them ma******te at the thought of this special friend.
So the question is, how do you maintain a pure, platonic relationship with an opposite-s*x friend without unnecessary touching, s*xual desires or romance?
Always know that there is actually a thin line between just being friends and playing the dating game! (I will post about Games Singles Play soon on this page)
Running away out of fear from all members of the opposite s*x or dating everyone that gets attracted to you are two dangerous extremes! So there must be a balance!
Where is the line between friendship and more than friendship? Sometimes, the intention is just to be true friends with no defilement of your bodies, but before you know it, things have gone wild, and you are both in the romantic zone!
Do you become jealous when you see your “special” friend with another person? If your answer is yes, obviously, the relationship is already more than just being friends; it's now something else because you can’t prevent your friends from getting more friends.
