Well I got my answer in the form of a horoscope. (don't laugh ya'll knew I was a bit crazy!)
Is there really more than one kind of love? Or does a deep emotional connection between two people mean much the same, regardless of whether it is based on a romantic relationship, a family affiliation or a social involvement? We may expect different things from each other in different contexts but when others touch our hearts, for whatever reason, there is surely just a wonderful sense of magic. Somewhere in your life now, a delightful bond is deepening. Don't worry about what it means, just be glad of this.
I think this is my goal in "relationships" to enjoy love and closeness in whatever form it is. Not question it or push it or force it...just be open to the love that is coming my way. Just today I was so enjoying S's company and thinking how happy I am that he and I have this relationship. We're so much closer than I was with my mom at his age.
