That office romance

By Jillian Lucas for HowAboutWe

It's incredible and bewildering that now there are so many rules. I recently attended an all-day course given by the company attorney on sexual harassment. You can't say she has nice hair or she smells good. Go straight to jail! Here are some rules, and I didn't dream them up. It's the kind of thing the mass-media blogs do between hard-news stories. Make up rules. Rollo never thought of this when he said yes to Vivi when she so generously gave him an opening. http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/9-signs-handle-office-romance-182800693.html

Can Men and Women Be Friends?

Adrian F. Ward brings up the much debated question:  can men and women just be friends?  Ward’s opinion was “probably not” as a new study from Scientific American suggests that the conclusions are split by gender.  The study reveals that men find it hard to just be friends with women, while women are able to differentiate friendship more in platonic terms.  The results of the study suggest that men and women do have “vastly different views of what it means to be ‘just friends’ – and this can lead to “potential trouble.”  Even these results infer that men think with their other heads, even when it comes to a so-called platonic friendship.  Can women teach men to overcome this barrier or are their male friends just waiting for an opportunity to jump their bones if there is an opening in the future?
