week 1, post 2

My friendship that i have with my buddy Ryan is a relationship that started about 4 years ago. At first i would say that the friendship was I-You relationship. We had just moved into the dorms and we did not really open up to each other in the begging. Most of the things that we talked about were about classes and how tough football was. We avoided personal topics about family and our past history and just talked about superficial things that were happening at the time. After time passed we started to get more comfortable with each other and started to trust one another. With this, we started discussing more personal things like family, past girlfriends, and our hometown and our other friends. The relationship i have with Ryan now is most definitely a I-Thou relationship because i see him as a unique human and communicate with him according to that.
