[quote=Anonymous]Yeah that comment that males and females can't be friends is absurd and definitely written by an older man, who probably never raised children.

I have a great guy friend from HS who I keep in touch with to this day and our families are friendly. I also have a good guy friend from college who is happily married and just welcomed a baby.... he was an usher in MY wedding 15 years ago. We never, ever had any interest in each other. These stories are not unique, either.

OP- just stay out of it and let her experience however it goes. It's like how the butterfly has to struggle to break out of the chrysalis-- if you just cut it open, the muscles aren't strong enough and they can't fly. The struggle makes them strong and capable.

My parents thought that they were amazing because they limited my social life. It led to me not fully understanding how relationships work and being treated badly when I finally got some male attention. Let sh*t fall where it may-- in HS, when the stakes are low.[/quote]
