I think its rite. There is nothing wrong in just frindship but u knw with the passage of time this frindship converts into infatuation or u may call it love & then many more things to happen. Also, our religion Islam does nt allow such meaningless & purposeless relations. The teachings of islam r prety much clear & i think there is no need to deny this fact.
