I don't mean anything romantic or flirtatious. It's not a daily thing, and we don't even know each other's real names or identities. We just end up discussing movies, TV shows, or general life topics. I sometimes take advice because I just want to know about the situation from different prespective or pov of the opposite gender.

Would this be considered permissible in Islam, or is it something that should be avoided? I'd appreciate answers backed by Islamic reasoning if possible.
