Re: Friendship between opposite sexes
My personal experiences is that it not always true. Many factors will intervene. In Pakistan all my life I went to co-ed schools , college and University, had lots of female friends in each class/grade but I do not even remember the names of any of them.
Same with my other classmates and friends. There were very few who got romantically involved. I know lots of desi and ABCD's very few ended up romantically involved with friends of opposite sex.
