Yes. It takes understanding, dedication and getting over everyone else opinions.

Yes it does work especially when it is between people of different cultures. If both are open it can be very fun to learn new things. I have friends that are rich and poor, black, white, indian, asian, and of different religions. The main thing to remember is to not use the words you hear so much, "When I look at someone I don't see color, I just see people." That is a big *** lie because even among white people they will say I love your tan and that color looks good on you. Or they will say oh man look at the orange person. It is okay to recognize the difference in someone because it is what makes us unique. However, if you are friends with someone who has a lot more money than you then don't try to keep up. Instead try to learn how they got to be so successful and pick up some tips to help you get to that level. But remember that people can have all of the money in the world and still be unhappy which is why they should just give it to me.

Friendship is quite possible; however marriage is a different story. You've heard that "opposites attract." Based on years of studying marriage data, I've concluded that the adage only applies to magnets.
People fare much better in marriage if they come from similar backgrounds, including religion, culture, social class, education, and economic status. The more alike they are, the more likely it is that they'll be in agreement about the everyday decisions that must be made by a married couple.
The chances of Cinderella and Prince Charming making it to their seventh anniversary are not impossible, but they are very slim.

When V make a friend, do V think of such an issue at that time, whether that person is rich or poor, same culture or different, same sex or opposite, about family, religion or even age etc... ? If one does think of such things, it means they R not worth to B a friend at all, & one must beware of such people. Friendship & love can't B bound in boundaries, it just happens, then it depends between them how to develope it further to turn into a newer relationship. So, friendship between 2 different persons works or not depends on their attitude, thinking mentality & so on, I guess. Would U B my friend ? Just to find out how it works

Yes, it does work. I have friends who are much wealthier than I am. If they are not boastful about it, it is ok. I do not try to keep up with them. I have many friends from differents countries. I enjoy our friendships a lot. And with email, etc. it is not so difficult to be separated. I enjoy my foreign friends. I learn so much from them. And they help me realise that our world is not so big.

Yes, definitely it works, provided ur a good Listener, and u have give and take policies in you. it will be of great achievement if u have got 1 person that u count as ur friend. as friends are always there to share and care, unlike relatives.

If desired and committed by both involved, there can be no problem.
