Can Men and Women be friends?
The answer is a qualified yes. However, it depends on so many things about the individual; their maturity level, spiritual growth, and ultimately, why is the relationship needed, what is the motive of the fellowship, it goes on and on. Therefore, yes, it's possible, but it’s just not that simple to truly accomplish. The “Heart” and “Intentions” can be so very true and at the same time, so very deceiving. Therefore, be real about the friendship and relationship, and don't use it as a pretense for making "mistakes" that truly are not mistakes, but just another setup to accomplish a desire beyond friendship, which was the real motive. In general, that’s not a problem, but the true intent of the relationship should be made known to each other.

Make Psalms 23 a real part of your life and allow God thru His Spirit, in Jesus Name lead you in the paths of righteousness. Amen.

NO SEX…now let’s discuss. Dating should not be confused with asking someone out one time, or a few times as a way to get to know them and what they are all about. It should not be that a man knows a woman’s private parts better than he knows her, or her heart. That’s no way (know-way pun intended), to know someone.

Time must be invested into learning and knowing each other. Then if it should move to dating, set the guidelines in place and deal with each other’s expectations up front. That’s my simple answer.

From Charles:
What do you want in a wife?
My comments in general before I answer this question are that “Men” need to know this question before they venture out to find her. Men need to know what their role is as a husband to a woman that he is choosing to be his wife really means. If they don’t…they need to stop what they are doing and start getting educated…right now! Nevertheless, most of all, men need to know whether they are boys in grown-up bodies, or boys who have grown into manhood. Once they get pass the surface macho pattern of behavior, this can be a hard question …I believe a man should act like a man, but he need to know exactly what that means… That is to say, in many boys lives’ there has not been a “Man” to show them how to become Men…and that’s largely because likewise there was no “Man” in the man’s life to show him. This is another matter for discussion, so I’ll end it for the moment, and after the following statements, I’ll answer what I’m looking for in a wife.

General Comment:
Let me say that if you are a “Male” who desires the intimate and sexual desire for another male…Please ask God, The Father of Jesus Christ to lead you in the paths of righteousness and you will begin to see the life that God has for you as a Man…and you will be set free to receive a whole new direction for your life.

Every Man must understand the need to truly seek God’s direction for all things in life. The reason we may not know what we want in a wife is because we don’t know what we want in our life in general. We need to ask God, The Father of Jesus Christ to lead us in the paths of righteousness and we will begin to see the life that God has for us as Man…then we will be set free…and we will know what we should desire in a woman as a wife, and more importantly, what to desire in her.

As for me, I’m trying to be true to my faith in God through Jesus Christ my Savior to supply the woman that should be my wife. However, I still have a problem getting out of the way so God can provide. That’s a difficult thing to do sometimes, but it’s necessary. My track record in choosing Women is not very good, I don’t trust “Me” to do that…I need God’s Spirit to lead and guide me.

I want a qualified attractive woman; physically, spiritually, and in all aspects, I want like to see her beauty…and work with her on her (our) ugliness’s. I can imagine that some of you want to know what I mean by “qualified.” It simple means that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…what’s attractive to you, may not be attractive to me. Since I’m speaking about what “I” want in a wife, let say that I’m learning that being physical attractive is only as important as “I” make it out to be…I’m now learning and believe that attractiveness truly is a “noun” and not an adjective.

I want a woman who is truly seeking God’s direction for her life and is seeking a man to be her husband who is truly seeking God’s direction for his life. The two should learn about each other and help each other grow and achieve the desires of their hearts…and help each other understand that the desires should be what God’s will for our lives’. I want a woman who has no problem being a sensuous woman to her husband, I want to reciprocate those feelings, and desires back to her. I want a woman who understands that a marriage is between her and me, with God in the middle holding us together. Someone who understands, that should problems arise they should not be handled by “friends” but by each other with God’s Spirit leading us (God may use other people to confirm things with us, but we need to know God’s Spirit and Attributes).

I want a woman who understands that “Joy” is a state of mine in the heart and that it’s okay to be happy, but never confuse it with joy, because joy can be present in unhappy situations. I want a wife who can see me old and broke, but still loves me. On the other hand, she can see me handsome with money and still loves me…there is so much more I can tell you about what I want. Nevertheless, let me end by saying that I want a willing woman to work with me, pulling in the same direction, striving for the same things, reaching out to the same God for strength and direction. I want us to have God’s Spirit in our marriage and us and reflect Jesus Christ’s image in and throughout our marriage and all we do.

From Charles:

Short Answer:
Sensing that she truly cares about “me” and the things important to me, and I would have to have the same feeling about her. How does that come about, perhaps my long answer will help…

Long Answer:
It’s a little complicated, but it would take an investment of time in the fellowship/friendship for me to consider opening up more. Of course, among other things, the time would be used to determine if she is capable of dealing with me opening up to her in a more personal and intimate way, beyond fellowship/friendship. Therefore, the process for determining such a thing would be (1) my spirit would have to be at peace (2) my heart would have to be in agreement with my spirit (3) my mind would then decide based on my overall feelings about the person and our relationship at the time. In addition, there must be a potential future growth factor in the relationship.

However, once these things are accomplished/satisfied, I would not have a problem sharing with that special woman.

(1) Acourse they can if they are mature in the word and spirit but you must be a mature christian and fight temptation you must stay pray up and present your bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable and if it is your soul mate then Daddy God will hook both of you up as One, trust in the Lord.

(2) I want a soul mate period some one who will love and respect me for whats in my heart, some one who is confidence in her own self and has leadership type of ability.

(3) I don`t know I am very flexable and laid back obviously it can`t be nothing to ungodly that she is not willing to change, if she`s my boo then we can touch and agree to make it work.

(4) Boundaries in dating means to me not been to bossy or to nosey we are not married yet, don`t scare me away.

(5) I must seek God because every time I self will it, it never works out, satan main job is too bust up marriages because it is form in the presence of God almighty Himself and the devil becomes furious, this is serious stuff, people can live together 20 years and the moment they get married all hell breaks loose if they are not save or mature in the word of God.

(6) Her spirit and her beauty.
