Well I have alot of male christian friends. I wouldn't say we're extreml close. I only see them at church and we say the occassional hi. I did have a penpal who was a christian male and we were very close. Our friendship turned into more. We were still friends,just more. Itz ok if it goes to the next level if u both want to be more than just friends. It doesn't mean the friendship is gone. Itz still there. I hope the guy I fall in love with and marry is also my friend.

As some have already stated, it is important that both of us understand the boundaries . . . and that we agree. That said, I wouldn't want to imagine my life without the friendship of some pretty awesome men the Lord has placed in my life throughout the years. I was a telephone installer for many years and worked with only men for most of them. I've loved the conversations, the challenges, and even the innocent flirtations of some of those friendships. It makes you feel more alive somehow to know that kind of friendship. Most of them, I'm sorry to say, are no longer a part of my life on a regular basis. I moved away from my hometown and/or they did, etc. However, left behind are wonderful memories and many things learned about the quality and character of a man that I treasure. Besides, it's great to get a man's perspective on things that matter to them about women and check myself to see if I agree or not . . . just as food for thought, not necessarily to change me or them. Also, I have a very healthy respect for the burden men carry and I learned that not only from my own father, but from observing my male friends as they struggle with life, as we all do, on a daily basis. Theirs is a different plight from ours as women, in my opinion. From very early in their lives they're taught that they must become the breadwinner, the head of household, the leader, the warrior, etc. And, it will be their "obligation" and not their "choice", and yet they aren't supposed to be vulnerable to need anything from anyone else. That's a hard road, don't we agree ladies? God bless the men in our lives! Yes, unless we marry them, we must keep it pure if we are walking our Christian walk, but I think we balance each other out and that's important for our lives!

I think being friends with one from the opposite sex depends on the individuals involved, as long as they can agree to keep it as friends and set boundaries knowing that even in close quarters they are still in the sight of God, they should always keep the friendship God centered with that in mind this should be the making of a great friendship, if one crosses the line whether it be a kiss or approach for sex the matter should be discussed and prayed about, if they fail to maintain the bounderies set ie., no inappropriate touching or comments then that's not being true to the frienship. I think in christian friendship there should be total honesty, respect and care in a christlike manner. Bottom line all actions should be pleasing to God. God must be the foundation of christian friendships this is where you can share your hurts, struggles and innermost thoughts with someone who should have your best interest at heart who can help guide you to make good decisions and to help steer you in your walk in a healthy way. If it is anything less than that don't do it. God Bless.

I've always had friendships with males, those friendships were/are invaluable to me. there were only a few times where the friendship crossed the line, once when a good friend asked me to be his girlfriend, but we were both ok with my saying no. and the other time when a friend said he wanted to kiss me. this was a long time after, when he said that. and its kinda of water over the bridge now, you know?

I had a Christian friendship with a person of the opposite gender for over 4 years. Through our friendship, Father was able do much healing of my spirit after 2 abusive marriages. Though that person has chosen to walk a different life path than the one along which Father is leading me, I do not regret even 1 second of our Christian friendship. I also have some other life-long Christian friendships through which Father is also honored and glorified and also through which, all persons involved are blessed. Good Christian friends are rare, and best friends are worth a king's ransom.
