This is a bit of a twist on rachel's posting:

I have a problem having close male homosexual friends.  My problem
is that if another gay man actually becomes a true, dear friend who
I can honestly say I love as a friend,  then I begin to fall in love
with him as "more than a friend".  Why is it that I can't stop this?
It's happened twice now, and I must admit I don't think I deal with
it appropriately.  (i.e.--i keep my mouth shut and don't say a word)
