Love and the different forms...

Something I found interesting in our recent study on Love and Romantic relationships is the way we treat other of the opposite sex directly relates to our concept of love.

I am beginning to realize that I treat my guy friends like brothers, making fun of them, but always careful to be respectful. If I cross a line, I apologize.

When I imagine a guy actually asking me out, I automatically assume he would come to me in a serious, dedicated way. He would be seriously considering the timing of asking me out, place, and how I felt about him. If a guy friend of mine is just teasing and saying he would like to go out with me, I ignore him or if he is persistant, blow him off.

Hopefully this has not hurt any of my guy friends who view a relationship as more Lutus love. Whenever a guy approaches me in a teasing way I just treat them like I treat my brothers. A bit of sarcasm, a bit of frusteration, a bit of wit, anything they dish out I'd dish right back.
