You can have a close friendship with someone of the opposite sex and still draw boundaries. Like not go out on lunch dates or give each other backrubs [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]... maybe just share intellectual conversations and tell each other funny stories.

This one I'm not so sure I agree with you on. My fiance, soon to be wife in 4 days, doesn't like the fact that I do meet people for lunch of the opposite sex. But for me I view lunches and dinners out as a good chance to talk with people. I do that with any friend, shouldn't matter if they are female or male. Where else should I talk to my female friends? Should we go out for drinks to talk, probably not. Should we go back and get lunch at the house? Again probably not, so for now, for me at least, going out to eat is a good in between.
Edit: I should note that this is provided everybody is paying for themselves and I do let her know every time I'm out so I don't hide anything and it gets perceived the wrong way.
