Who said only girls get to exhibit this kind of love?
All Bhakti Poets have sung in the mood of Gopis irrespective of their sex. [right][snapback]69027[/snapback][/right]

Very much. So much that Bhakti can even be born from the homo-sexual ecstasy. Even a certain homo-sexual Pathan by the name of Syed Ibrahim can turn Bhakta Raskhan and transform his lust into his love of Krishna.

रंग भरयौ मुसकात लला निकस्यौ कल कुंजन ते सुखदाई
टूटि गयो घर को सब बंधन छूटि गौ आरज- लाज- बड़ाई
[When Krishna smiled, filling colours, in the Kunj-streets
What to do, all bonds broke lose, all concern of Maryada dropped, all pride and lajja just disappeared]

and:

नैन दलालनि चौहटें म मानिक पिय हाथ।
"रसखाँ' ढोल बजाई के बेचियों हिय जिय साथ।।
[My eyes became 'pimps', who dealt Raskhan's heart away to Him, on the beats of Dhol (disreagarding any lok-lajja)]

SwamyG: regarding questions. Probably you should also read the discourses of Bhagwan Buddha on what are the questions and what are non-questions. Quests of Nachiketa, Arjun, Maitreyi, Janak, Anand, and Sariputra are born out of their deeply thirsty hearts, after exhausting all other channels of fulfilment, coming defeated to the feet of their respective Gurus as the last resort of the quest.
