There is psychologist on a radio show that once said, "a male, female friendship is one where one or the other has feelings but has to settle for a friendship. I agree with that. Men and women are different. Men do not find women interesting at all. Women if they do not feel they attract the men they hang out with, go out of their way to act more sexual or flirtatious. Just observe humans interact and you will see many patterns. You do not see a good looking man with an ugly woman unless she has good looking friends. You do not see an attractive women with some ugly man unless he has money or good looking friend. It is better to look for a man or woman who does not have members of the opposite sex as exclusive friends or best friends. Reverse the question, Is it OK for my boy friend to have a girl as a best friend? And let women answer. See the responses anyone gets. Women would not want their guy with a female as a best friend, period!

If you're having difficulty in a relationship, try always look at the same thing, at your partner's prospective.
What if he/she was the one who's telling me these?
What if he/she is the one doing all these to me?
Many times, if we are able to put ourselves into other people's shoes, we would be able to understand them better. And things would be different.

Remember in this world, communication is extremely important to deal with things that seems to be unsolvable.
