My best friend is the opposite gender, but then again, she also walks on four legs and plays with squeak toys.

I think a friendship like that can work only if there is emotional maturity on both sides. What I often see happen is that one person feels a certain void or certain lack in their life and sees their friends as solutions to the problem as opposed to a support system.

It can work in theory, but a lot trickier in practice because people often aren't very emotionally mature
