So there’s this girl. Yeah, we know: She’s fun, pretty, spiritually strong, and a good friend. You love hanging out with her, and you’ve started wondering about taking things to the next level—you know, a relationship. But why? It sounds like you’ve got a good thing going. You know each other well. You have fun hanging out together without the awkwardness of being a couple. And you’re getting great practice in learning how to relate to the opposite sex. So in all your deep contemplation, ask yourself these questions: • Why do I want this girl friend to become my girlfriend? • How would bringing romance into our friendship improve things? • Am I sensing that she wants me to be more than a friend? Stick with friendship if . . . . . . your only motive is to have a cool label to throw around: girlfriend instead of friend who’s a girl. . . . you catch yourself thinking that being “girl-less” from a romantic standpoint means being less of a guy. . . . your other friends are pressuring you into something that shouldn’t be. . . . your hormones are taking over your brain (a desire to kiss is not a good enough reason to want a girlfriend).
