One of the differences between men and women is that many women believe they can be friends with men, with no (romantic) strings attached. Most men believe Oscar Wilde: "Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship."

Most of the time, my question above is irrelevant because we have already forgotten what happened. It appears that forgetting = forgiving.
