Love is not...

Love is not...

   I'm no longer a teenager and in my age right now,l should be dating. Most of my friends have a special someone already. They seem happy and I think that's what missing in my life. A person to love.

   In my experience, I don't get easily fall for someone. It takes time for me to really hooked up with a person. I don't believe in love at first sight. It's all in the mind. People always mistakenly use the word "LOVE" and associate it with a different meaning. Love is something much deeper than the word "LIKE". You can only say you have loved when you learn to sacrifice something important to you and feel okay about it. You have loved when you understand the person why he is acting weird and find it cute along the way. You have loved when you learn to bend some of your beliefs, when you become surprisingly romantic and when you feel good about yourself and the people around you. And also, you have loved when you want to alter things just to make that person happy. I don't know if you agree with me but this is how I define love for a significant other. Love is a feeling you don't feel overnight. Love is not all physical attraction. It's something that we feel when you tend to like the person more than anyone else and when it is unconditional.

   People who confess their feeling to me, I'm not impressed when they say " I love you" instantly. It can even change my good impression to them. These people are confused. This is the reason why many relationships fail. Once they found out the person they are with are no longer the person they have liked at the first meeting. Arguments will start and eventually everything will end in a hurtful breakup.. What do you think? Am I making sense here?
