Instructions: For this activity, you will interview one male and one female you know about their current and past cross-sex friendships. Find out what happened to the past relationships. Did they end? If so, why? Did any of them evolve into romantic relationships? Examine the reasons for the relationship ending, including O’Meara’s (1989) challenges as discussed in the lecture. Are males and females equally accepting of their partner’s cross-sex friends? Finally, draw some general conclusions about cross-sex friendships. Address these questions in your paper.
I also want you to use at least 5 concepts and terminology from the materials. Underline and bold the concepts that you use in the activity.
