I think that it's fine for an official to have a mentor of the opposite gender. The only condition I would put on this is that both people should enter the relationship without a hidden agenda (e.g., he wants to get some hanky panky). As long as the mentoring relationship is the sole reason for beginning the partnership, I have no problem with it. I would not even have a problem if a personal, romantic relationship developed from the mentoring relationship; as long as neither person entered the relationship under false pretenses. They're adults, if they want to try to mix their personal lives with their officiating, that's their decision. As always, just my opinion.
