Intimate relationships, like boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, or spouses are very special. Have you had, or do you have, any intimate relationships? Intimacy means a very close connection, a deeper love than friendship.
Healthy intimate relationships, whether they include physical expression of love or not, are "mutual." That means both people agree to everything that goes on between them. If we feel very close or attracted to someone, but they don't feel the same way, we can say we have a crush on them. But that person is NOT our partner or boyfriend or girlfriend.
Tomorrow's Show & Share: Heartache at the loss of friendship or love. Can you remember a time you had to say good-bye to a friend or loved one? Or, is there a movie or book that you love in which someone gets their heart broken? Tell us about your experience or the story you know.
