- It does not make you a bad person to desire someone else's love, even if they do not love you. However, to truly love someone, you must let them be free. It is selfish to blame them for your feelings.
- There are many types of relationships that involve love, but love itself is a common thread to all those relationships. For example: a mother-son relationship is different from the relationship with a best friend, and both these relationships are different from a romantic relationship. But in each of these relationships, each person loves the other (wants the best for the other). Love this the base of the pyramid. On top of the base, we can add other items such as other common interests (in the case of friends) or sex (in the case of romantic relationships). Therefore, relationships can grow and evolve but the love itself is solid and constant. It does not change.
- Don't be ashamed to tell anyone that you love your friends as much as you love anyone else in your life.
- You have to find someone that will suit you, someone you feel comfortable with - not just someone to make love to.
- Sometimes love is all we need. As a word, love can be found worldwide and is often used to describe compassion and/or emotional attachment. Sometimes love songs do not accurately describe love, but rather, the absence of love, hence the sad tone of some romantic songs.
- Accepting those you love for who they are is part of love. You also need to learn to accept yourself before you can accept another. If you cannot love yourself, how are you to love another?
- Love genuinely. Do not compare your feelings now to what your feelings were when you were with another mate. At times, we can experience rejection.
- Realize that love is a feeling that can describe and attempt to assist, but ultimately, you are the one who must take action in order to discover love.
- Do things that make the other person feel good and happy, but do not smother them with gifts and attention.
- Remember there is no failure in love, because once you tell somebody whom you love, that you love him/her, then you have already succeeded in love.
