I think what the person above described is what's making it hard to relate. I can understand on an intellectual level that how my straight friend feels about her boyfriend is the same way I feel about my girlfriend but I can't imagine ME feeling that way about a guy.
I guess maybe I'm just putting way more emphasis on gender than I should. I've never dated a guy so maybe I'm just imagining that it's SO much different than dating a girl when it really isn't?
