Here's a question or two for you.
I'm curious to hear what you all have to say on these two matters. It is something that I and a number of other girls have been thinking through recently.
1.) What do you do when someone confronts you on an issue and you don't respect them at all?We all agreed that you evaluate what they have said and that you examine your heart but do you also evaluate who it is coming from? Do you change your actions because they see it as a problem?
2.) Can guys and girls be friends? Is one bound to get too attatched? What kind of a friendship can you have with the opposite sex? How close is too close?
Just things we are thinking about way over here.

Here's a couple thoughts:
1. You always evaluate confrontation because heck knows we're all sinners and should probably be confronted every day. And sometimes God uses the funniest people to help draw attention to something in our own life that needs changed. BUT, you don't change your actions because THEY (the confronter) see it as a problem, but rather if God and His Word see it as a problem. If it goes against God's Word, YES, repent and change. However, if it's just this person's preference, then perhaps it's good to consider preferring them in this way, but you can also maybe (gently) point out that it's just a preference of theirs, and you don't see it as a sin according to God's Word.
#2. YES, guys and girls can and should be friends. If they're not, mankind will likely cease to exist by the end of this century. =)
I think there's two major rules:
#1. Guys need to know that girls can tend to get emotionally attached pretty quickly.
#2. Girls need to know that girls can tend to get emotionally attached pretty quickly.
So... Be wise and discerning. Don't spill your entire guts. Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex... but know when to shut up. And sometimes you have to ask him to shut up too. That's fine. Some things are better left unsaid...
