Yeah, but another thing too is this... let's say you meet a women who after getting to know her better you find out she has sex outside of marriage, and that's something you do not do. Don't immediately discount her as a friend just because she is participating in an ungodly activity. Plus, you must realize that even though you may not be doing that particular sin, you just may very well be doing something else against God too.
I'll share this with you. I really have only 2 women that I can say are my close best friends. Other women I may know are more like acquaintances. One of them I have been friends with for over 10 years. We met in high school on the track team. As we got older, we started hanging out, talk on the phone, shop, taken trips, and shared personal information and stories with each other. Right now, she is involved with a married man. Deep down inside, I feel disgusted of this and never thought something like this would happen. I don't condone her activity, but I'm just very calm when expressing my views on what she should do with this married man. She knows she is wrong and has even stated it to me, but she feels like she lacks a conscience right now and is really enjoying herself. I've told I think it's best for her to leave the man alone, but she claims to have no feelings wrapped up into this man (but I think she does). So I as a friend, I just listen and continue to respect her and be patient with her. Plus, I look at myself and know I may not be abiding by every single command of God as well. And only God can do the changing and delivering someone from sin.
And I also try to be like Jesus... he hung out and even ate and drank with the winebibbers, prostitutes, and tax collectors... but he did not participate in their activities. He just was there being an example and showing them how to live right. We must try to do the same when it comes to interacting with other people.
Hope that helps too.
