Boyfriend VS Boy Friend
roxie1987 5/15/2008 2:34 am
If you think he likes you, think twice my dear! We the gays sometimes find it difficult to make a distinction if the guy is really into us or just wants to be our friend. Remember that there is a fine line between 'just-friends' and would-be-boyfriend.'

For me to clear my point, let me share to you a short story. A gay friend of mine named JOJO, met a guy in school on the 1st day of class. They had an ordinary getting to know stage because it was through texting that they get to keep in touch. They are enrolled in different courses so they seldom see each other. They become friends... and eventually more than friends?! Yes, that's exactly the problem. JOJO does not know where she stands in his life. Could he say he likes his friend because he says's Love you' to him? Or will it be too assuming on his part? Well, I hate to keep you hanging, but up to now, JOJO is still on dilemma.

I came across an article at psychology today.com and it says that our cerebral hemispheres are divided into two. The left hemisphere is responsible for logic and language and the right one for emotions and art. These two parts are joined by the corpus callosum. It was discovered that females have shorter carpus callosum making their emotional aspect more coordinated with their words and logic. Males who have a gap in their corpus callosum compared to the later have made their actions not well coordinated with their emotions. So here is the catch,gays, what you are thinking might be really different from what he is thinking! If you feel like you are special, do not get carried away. There is a great chance that what you consider being special might for him be 'just normal'.

before we find ourselves caught in the most embarrassing moment of assuming the guys intention to be beyond the limits of making friends, hang on a minute. Check my friendly guidelines of decoding the difference between boyfriend and boy friend.

THE TEXT
One message received.its from him...um?...

Just Friends: Very normal for boys to text their girl friends or gay friends now and then. Take note, it's only now and then. Meaning, they are just looking for someone to talk to at that moment and not much else. Oftentimes, it's just a simple "hi", "hello" or "hows your day" text message.

More than that: texting makes the guy's work of knowing girls and gays easy. You will know if he's into you when there is an increasing frequency of texting and even calling. He texts you for the whole day and checks out what are you busy of. Believe me, a guy who is hooked up into girls or gays could not leave a day without communicating to them.

THE DATE
You and him together in mall.Well,well, well...

Just friends: When he has pure intentions of friendship, you will always end up having a group date with your other friends. you will be spending the day on arcades or window shopping on the mall. You will not have a one-on-one talk because he will be busy talking with your other friends. Asking you out doesn't always mean he wants to be with you. It may also mean, he just wants to kill his time.

More than that: This involves formally asking you out. Movie dates usually makes a perfect choices since you don't have to talk too much. Dinner follows and he will bring you home. He would then ask for next time. This time you could suspect his intentions to be more than just friends!

THE GIFT
You may want to jump for joy after receiving a gift from him. But don't overreact.

Just friends keep in mind the principle of exclusivity. He does not give gifts to any other friends except you. If he gives gift to all his gayfriends, then he is just a pal. The worst thing that could happen is if he gives you a gift just the same with what he gave to his other gay friends.

More than that: boys are generally bad in giving gifts. So every gift wrapped is an extra effort. If he gives you a gift that has something to do with only the two of you share, then rejoice! Most especially when he gives you flowers. Flowers are only given to gays when the guy is really serious.

THE 'I LOVE YOU'
I love you, take care...muwaah!!!

Just friends: Again, take note of the principle of exclusivity. If it seems so ordinary for him to say the magic words to all his friends, especially to gays, then don't wish that you are extra special. he might just be expressive towards the people he loves.

More than that: These words are very crucial.If a guy tells you this right in front of you, then it's different. Sincerity can be seen on the eyes. Try to look at him, and you will know!.

There you have it now! Take note of the signs and use your intuitions. Be careful because it hurts to know the truth when you are expecting a different thing. Remember that friend and boyfriend only differ in three letters, but it could mAKE A DIFFERENCE in your WORLD.
