SWEETNESS DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN LOVE!

I'm only posting now, guys, because my computer was down from late morning until after dinner tonight. My apologies.

                                                                             ***

Lourdes Macatangay of Japan has a female friend who thought she already had a mutual understanding with a guy whom she had met only in the Internet.

After chatting and exchanging sweet phone calls for sometime, the guy stopped calling. Lourdes’ friend is confused and requesting for enlightenment.

First of all, sweetness DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN LOVE!

Some people are born naturally sweet. For them, a friendly hug or buzz on the cheek doesn’t mean anything else.

They never forget to greet friends on birthdays and special occasions like Christmas. They express concern when a friend is sick and extends help whenever they could to those with problems.

There are those who call or chat with particular people almost everyday. For some women, they even go out on dates with guys who are not their boyfriends.

But all these are NOTHING MORE than manifestations of friendship.

They enjoy the company of friends, that’s why they spend time and effort in chatting or talking to them over the phone.  For them, friends are special so they’re concerned about them when there’s reason to be.

But it doesn’t automatically follow that it’s Love and not just friendship.

Remember this, boys and girls:

NEVER ASSUME that you and another person are lovers UNLESS you both agree, PERSONALLY, to be so.

Erroneous assumption will result to nothing else but PAIN OR DISAPPOINTMENT, for which you’ll have nobody else to blame but yourself.

If you have a feeling for somebody, and think that both of you are already into something unofficial, GET IT STRAIGHT from the other person.

Unless it’s official or formal, DON’T EXPECT anything. Don’t let your feelings overwhelm you. IT’S YOU who will get hurt, not the other person. It’s only you who will be on the LOSING END.

Everyone keep this in mind, please! 30
