Little did I realize how quickly a “friendship” could turn into a romance, especially on the part of the one who really needed a friend. This can happen too easily just in casual conversation at church or when families get together. (In my case, it was the boy who lived several houses down.) Because of my experience, I think it’s best to never engage in extended conversations with anyone of the opposite sex, and especially never alone.

"Little did I realize how quickly a “friendship” could turn into a romance"
No shit, THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK, STUPID.
My experience has been that all those boys "several houses down" are only interested in one thing:
My cookie recipes.
But then again, I'm gay. That probably skewers the schematics.
Welcome to the adult world, sweetheart. And don't worry. Its perfectly natur... Wait, forget that. You hate everything coming from nature, thinking that it comes from Satan, the demonic teacher. Pray and repent!
Believe me, my guy friends and I are not going out. Some of them have girlfriends already, and the others have no interest in a girl like me. Trust me, you can have friends without wanting to sleep with them.
You sound like you're living a very lonely, sad life. Take my advice and make some friends!

Incest for Jesus? Kewl, if you're into that.
Sister, just because when you talk to boys, and you get that tingly feeling between your legs, and have to run home to Daddy, does not mean everyone has that problem.
Seriously, you need to just get laid. I mean really... get laid. You'll thank me for this advice.
Yeah, you might meet someone bright and interesting, you might even think about touching him. Who knows you might get married and live happily ever after. Sh*t, you Fundies could allow that.

ROFLMMAO!!!

Hmm, what would happen if you wind up talking with someone of the SAME sex? OMFG, could teh ghey get cast upon thee? Aaaarrrggghhh!

Is this like The Junior Anti Sex League, with the red sashes?
Fact A. I am male and straight.
Fact 2. All my closest friends are female.
Fact D. I am only attracted to/in a relationship with one of them.
Your analysis kind of falls apart now, yeah?
So rather lonely than getting to know people of opposite sex?
It's just sad :( And how did you think you'd find husband if you're not supposed to talk to with men? That's basicly how I found mine ;) And you know, I do have male friends too; single, dating, married, hetero, gay... all sorts of them and I never even thought that someone would see that as a problem :D
Or is that already counted as cheating then? You think that I should also stop, among others, talking to our older (lonely) neighbours who really like to talk to anyone who can spare a minute with them? And miss all the juicy gossips they know? And lose free car surveillance? (there's really no one better to look after your car while you're not at home than a bored 60+ person with curiousity of a cat) ;)

Quoted for truth (doubleplusgood). Orwell FTW.
I think that for you, it's best that you indeed stay as fara away from members of the alternate gender as possible. That way you will never have children, and maybe your stupidity will go extinct when you die.
Yes spend all your time with your own gender, maybe even time alone with friends of your own gender. What could possibly go wrong? If you find yourself in a stammering crisis because you wake up next to one of them please post, we will laugh our arses off!

Unless you're part of the Duggar clan, and are willing to marry someone you've never even spent ten minutes alone with (and barely know), much less kissed.
Out of all the boy friends I have had, which is about 20, two have turned to romance. Only one was sexual. By your logic I should have slept with all of them. Just because you're easy doesn't mean we all are.
OhmyGods. Laura Ingalls Wilder would have laughed at you and told you that you're being a drip, and so would any Jane Austen or Louisa May Alcott heroine. (I loved me some 19th-century girls' literature growing up.) And, of course, lots of girls start romances with boys who live a few doors down. That happens when your parents don't arrange your marriage and you can make your own choices. Most women think that's a *good* thing.
I just hope this girl doesn't try kissing. She'll probably drop dead
Actually, this is good advice.
After all, women aren't supposed to talk, right?
Stupid fundies.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
