    Most of my closest friends have been male. Although I found these boys attractive, it never led to a sexual relationship. As a matter of fact, I waited until I was married (at 23) to have a physical relationship. That said, I can understand the father's hesitation. All fathers want to protect their girls. Perhaps the father is remembering his own raging hormones at that age. And some males who have been unable to have platonic friendships in the past may project their psychology on all males. I think you both have a great opportunity to teach your daughter valuable lessons for the future. Talk (or continue to talk) to her about boys, her own changing body and feelings, your values concerning relationships with men. I would allow her to be friends with this boy openly, in supervised situations. She will interact with men all her life, in the workplace and in society in general. What better time to learn to be friends with males than now, when she has you two to guide her?
