I think that if a man and a woman are friends from childhood is very likely to remain friends even as adults, although maybe when they become adults may find that their bond is much deeper and can become a real couple. In two of my friends this happened, as children were close friends and then as adults were married and after so many years are still happily together and have children.Franca Polihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346575788794819813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-38226860675185843392015-03-29T16:51:57.025+11:002015-03-29T16:51:57.025+11:00Run, Forrest, run!Run, Forrest, run!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-76597822705514581762015-03-29T15:50:30.482+11:002015-03-29T15:50:30.482+11:00Just realised the cricket is on though and I still...Just realised the cricket is on though and I still have 2k to go!Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-76569773760208634482015-03-29T12:35:28.331+11:002015-03-29T12:35:28.331+11:00Thanks, Elizabeth. :-)Thanks, Elizabeth. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-61803915987598194082015-03-29T12:35:14.746+11:002015-03-29T12:35:14.746+11:00Seems there's more of us who believe men and w...Seems there's more of us who believe men and women can be friends than don't, which I think is a good thing. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and that's another snap in our Twins column, Amy.
