On Love, dating, and all that other clique and abused stuff.
Getting them...


1) Dating is meant to find your future Spouse. It is not an experiment, I promise you don't need a test run with every guy you have mutual intrest in. Don't agree? Read on. 

2) Before you even once say "Will you be my girlfriend?" or accept a guys offer, you need to be almost completely sure of what you want and why. This does not mean planning out the intricate details of how many hours you will eventually want to work, if you are going to be a vegetarian, or if you want one dog or five. Do you need someone who will always listen in respectful silence, or isn't afraid to offer advice or a helping hand? Do you mind smoking, guys/ girls who have had 30+ girlfriends/ boyfriends, non-virgins, virgins, or somebody who has OCD? Is your faith, morals, family values in top priority? And most importantly, who Do You Want To Be? Not who you are. This is all about the long haul, the journey, where do you want to be and by what means do you want to get there?


3) Any love possibilty should be a friend first and foremost. You need to really know someone, their likes and dislikes, beliefs, hobbies, unusual and somewhat repulsive habits... and not through the blinders of a "You are so cute, Im going to stalk you." crush. You should be able to talk to them, and they should be able to know what you like to talk about.
Keeping them...
1) Listen, talk, listen, talk... work on really getting deep, really getting the nitty gritties, before you delve into the physical extras. Open and Honest. You should know this already.

2) Don't worry about problems before they come. Yes you might be planning on different colleges, but you dont know what is really gonna happen till you get there. Don't fears and worries dictate your next move.


3) Say what you need to say. Praise God for John Mayer. This doesn't mean lashing out in anger, but there is always the subtle way to say "You're stupid, fix it" without neccesarily attacking your love. Even if it's one little thing you wish they would know or do differently. Say it. It is more damaging for a relationship to be supressive than it is to offer some constructive critism. And for heaven's sake, This Goes for Guys Too.


Enough for now. Comments! I want to know how you feel and What You Would Add.
Love
1) Love does not fail. Either you always will or you never did. .
