U guys are halerious, i guess i got nothig more to ad, we all seem to agree with the idea of honesty and open heart... and parents disagreeing.
Well about the parents bit. My mum now understands that it is normal to talk to girls ( thought she is quiet picky{open for interpretation} about them, lol). I see how in egypt parents are a bit more strict, but the sad fact is that having friendship with someone form the other sex is not encouraged there somewhat. I mean if you can't explain to your parents your chice of friends then i suggest u talk to em some more because avoiding them is not the way to go, and if your relationships trouble you, be honest aboutti to your priest.
thanks
just my opinion: coptic guys are usually there for u till the end of times... american/"aussies"/canadians dont always stick by ur side
i started to get kinda close (like friends close) withthis guy during the past school year, then he just all the sudden stopped talking to me..... it hurt at first, but i've gotten over it... meanwhile my bestest guy friend from church has been to hell and back, and we've known each other for YEARS... and we tell each other whatever we want... anything from girls, to sex, to drugs, to parents, to dumb egy's, to siblings, to work.... u name it! he's closer to me than my own brother and even my own best girl friends :-X :-\ ... and i know my girl friends dont like it when i hang out with him cause i'm always messin with him, n they're afraid ppl will talk.. but i figure, i dont care... if they c me n him hangin out INSIDE church, its better than hangin out OUTSIDE of church and having to hide our friendship and then feel the need to meet secretly behind the congregations back or talk on the phone privately.... cause then i'd end up hiding it from my parents, and i dont want to do that of course
thats just my long opinion of how u n a guy can be friends... non-coptic guys are able to last, but often dont... so i learned to stick to my coptic brothers who will be there for me till my wedding day and beyond... say i marry someone who will hit me or my kids... i know my coptic guy friends would be there to back me up right away if they saw any marks on me...
as far as parents go... if my mama n baba c some of the eg guys i know and sometimes talk to, i think they'd have heartattacks! so sometimes... its just better to show these guys to my parents, but i dont point them out or introduce them directly.... i want my parents to live lol
:)
what i meant is that some of the guys i talk to as 'spiritual brothers' arent exactly all that spiritual... but then again, who am i to judge?
i mean its just the whole 'ghetto' look that would throw my parents off a bit... n if a group of them came up to me to say hi....which has happened before... my parents just look at me as if to say... BE CAREFUL... i feel like just telling them to check the guys for guns before they approach the table...lol
but they're egy's... whattia expect?
cant say i blame them.... i must say i actually agree with them... :-X
ER rep: Hello how can i help you?

US: SHE AGREES WITH HER PARENTS WHAT OTHER SYMPTOMS DO YOU NEED!!
jk i am playing SMS
:P ;D
I don't see why it is wrong to have a best friend of the opposite sex. I have three best friends who are females, and we've been good friends for at least 7 years now. Nothing has happened, nor anything will happen. There of course have been their bouts of flirting here and there, but that's it. Nothing more. I think it's healthy having a close friend who's not your sex. But you always need a friend of the same sex who can understand you, without you having to explain your feelings word for word.
According to what David has said: by the Holy Spirit: "The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at My right hand."

i was just going through some of the msgs on the boards and its really interesting (and sad) to see how much we care what other ppl think....i mean, u could probably count hundreds of occasions where someone mentions being afraid of someone from church seeing u doing something or with this certain person. honestly, i think that as long ur not doing anything wrong, there is no reason to worry....
i realize that theres always gonna be gossip (especially in the church community), but u can't always let that be on ur mind
but i think it was mentioned before on the site that girls get more emotional than boys and i think that might be one factor into that
