The purpose of this study was to investigate adolescents' attitudes or orientations toward love. Two hundred and thirty nine students under age 25 (96 males and 143 females) responded to the Sentence Completion Test (SCT) which consisted of three questions about what to do in situations of love in conflict. Half of the respondents hope to continue associtating with their best girl/boy friend even though their families and friends are against it. When a person is worrying about being attracted to a lover of his/her good friend, almost two in five would like to advise him/her to confess or disclose what he/she feels. However, about 40 percent of the students do not want to accept the feelings of love which a sweetheart of their close friend expresses to them. Some sex differences were found; for example, male students seem to be more involved in loving than females.
