I don’t have a boyfriend to love.
But I do love a lot of my boy friends.
Even when they forget I’m a girl and blatantly talk about their sexual relationships and other private matters in front of me (I can handle it). I love that, while I may only have a sister directly related by blood, I’ve found a group of guys that I consider to be almost like my brothers. Guys that I feel comfortable spending late nights with, just hanging out or talking.
And the greatest part about it is, they notice when I’m upset. It’s a funny thing, being close friends with the opposite sex - you rarely talk about your feelings - and it’s kind of better that way. For me, anyway. You have conversations about other things, and it’s nice to be distracted, to have fun, to stop thinking about everything in my own head for an hour or two. But the thing is, they can tell. And when it’s another guy whose done the hurting, they get protective - like an older brother would. It’s probably my favorite part about having guy friends.
Maybe that’s why I’ve never actively sought out a relationship. It’s definitely not the same kind of love, but I do genuinely love them. And maybe that’s enough.
i have/had this with my current boyfriend and all of my guy friends.
