What do you think of best friends of the opposite sex? Or to put it another way “Can men and women ever be platonic friends? Doesn’t sex always get in the way?”

I think it’s possible to have a best friend of the opposite sex, though that might be trickier if you’re married as a hetero couple. I had two guys in my high school days that I considered best friends and no, I don’t think the sex thing gets in the way. This might not work as well in adulthood but I haven’t really tested that theory.

What is the greatest struggle you’ve overcome?

No way, this one tempts fate. Every time I think I’ve overcome my greatest struggle the universe throws something else enormous my way.

What is the darkest thought you’ve ever had? What about the darkest thing you’ve done that you’ve never told anybody about? (Obviously you’ll be telling now if you choose to. Telling might unburden you a little though.)   

Lord, this one’s full of nope, can’t answer that one questions.

and one ‘fun’ one because I realize those others were pretty deep)

What is your least favorite food?

Cauliflower. I’ve tried it steamed (ugh), in casseroles (ick), even covered in ranch dip (ew). It is one big fat nope for me.
