Friend, love or not

Friend or not; lover or not. This question pops up way too often in life. Now that Valentine's Day is over, and the rose-colored glasses are off, let's be honest. If you have to question it, it probably isn't there. This applies to our love lives and frienships.

Since Friday, I've talked to two female friends who just can't figure out if their boyfriends love them. One, her boyfriend did the "fall off the face of the earth" thing. You know he was there, very prominent in her life for months and all of a sudden he was gone. After several weeks of being invisibile, on Friday he called. Did she want to go out for Valentine's Day. Sad thing is she was actually considering it.

For all men and women who are reading this, don't use people and don't be rude and inconsiderate. If you want to end the relationship, be honest and end it. If you need time away, say it. Just don't leave people hanging.

And those on the receiving end, if they are honest appreciate it. It may not be the end result you want, but it's better to know now, whether it's a friend or lover.

Everyone, we only have one life to live. Appreciate your friends and lovers. Be nice.
