When is it ok to speak to the opposite sex
Not necessarily my caseIn your particular case? I'm going to have to think long and hard on that one.
I'm not impressed I think it's very impoliteApparently it is true - א נאַר בלייבט אַ נאַר

At the very least it shows u don't have an answer so u attack which is not very matureI didn't expect you to be impressed. As for it being impolite, perhaps, but it really is kind of mild compared to some of things that are posted on this forum from time to time.
Nedarim 20a ואל תרבה שיחה עם האשה שסופך לבא לידי ניאוף.What a conundrum this question creates,
when one is born as Adam .... which gender is opposite ???
And Leo, from whence comes the suggestion that there is some restriction
in 'talking' to the other gender ?
So how much is okNedarim 20a ואל תרבה שיחה עם האשה שסופך לבא לידי ניאוף.
Pirkei Avot 1:5 ואל תרבה שיחה עם האישה--באשתו אמרו, קל וחומר באשת חברו; מכאן אמרו חכמים, כל המרבה שיחה עם האישה--גורם רעה לעצמו, ובטיל מדברי תורה, וסופו יירש גיהינם.
just off the top of my head.
I believe there is a reason that the gemara/mishna are worded the way they are. But there are also other issues which constrain and restrict social intercourse with the other gender.So how much is ok
