Having a buddy of the opposite sex can become complicated if one is looking for romance, but the rewards more than outweigh possible difficulties.

THE line that separates male and female friendships from sexual relationships is as blurred as the song performed by Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards — and it generates just as much talk.

There is an almost unlimited stream of films and TV shows dedicated to the dangers and rewards of a friendship between a man and a woman.
