Stick to your guns, Child! One of my closest friendships through the years was with a man. OK, he was homosexual, but he was still a guy! It seems like if you can have friendships with the opposite sex, as long as you can take physical attraction out of the equation. Most of my friendships have been deeper, and lasted longer than my relationships anyway.

To get back to a Tolkien frame of mind, I suppose if you were immortal you would probably have the opportunity to work through anything, and have friendships with any male...even after the dreaded break-up! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

And Lush, as for your assertation that things might change when you're older - Boy are you in for a surprise.
