I’ve seen my own son judged and admonished because he spent too much time talking to a girl and helping her with some tough things. He was super confused as to why it was so wrong for them to be friends just because they are of the opposite gender. Not to mention don’t we want our kids to learn how to have healthy and meaningful relationships with the opposite sex prior to jumping intothe whole dating arena? If the opposite sex is just seen as someone to talk to and connect with if you are interested in dating them then that is totally missing the mark of how to nurture and develop strong healthy relationships with the opposite sex.

I utilize college students to assist in our ministry and so I really hold to this guy/girl piece because of the age factor. However, this will be a great reminder of how each leader can impact different students regardless of male/female and I will share this with my team.
