Could you be good/close friends with someone completely different to you?

Re: Could you be good/close friends with someone completely different to you?

That’s quite a good guess actually. Not totally. I’m already friends with this person but it’s been a while and recently i got in touch but she seems to have changed and become more conservative about friendships. Maybe influenced by her new surroundings and the person she might potentially marry. who is a bit conservative.
It may involve the nationalities you mentioned but i don’t want to make it one of those threads.
