~Love~

Love is the butterflies that you get in your stomach when you are around that certain person, not the nervous kind though.  Everyone has probably heard from some sort of adult figure in their life thus far, that being in high school you cannot understand love or don’t know what love is since you are so young.  Being in love doesn’t mean “having the Sunday church giggles” or having “googely eyes”.  “Googely eyes” is when you get that twinkle in your eye whenever you see that person or hear their voice. That special person must treat you the same way in front of your friends, his friends, your family, and his family and when you are alone; and you should do the same.  There was a quote I saw on a social Internet site, “If the person you are with can’t love you at your best than he sure doesn’t deserve you at your worst.”   This statement say it all plain and simple, and you know that person loves you when you are in tears and they will do anything and everything in their power to cheer you up.

            In having a relationship you will have your fair share of arguments that will hurt you and make you upset, but a good relationship will have open communication and you both have to be willing to listen, sometimes that is very hard because in reality it honestly doesn’t matter who is right and who is wrong.  When having and an argument that can make you break up or even not want to talk for a few hours, and sometimes days it isn’t how many disputes you have had as a couple it is how you learn to listen and deal with them and to be able to forgive. 

There will be times when you don’t want to look at the special person not because of something that they have done but because you are frustrated and you know if you look at them you will break down and you are trying to be strong, but being strong isn’t always best.  In being strong all the time, you both need to tale turns and always be strong for each other.  An example of not being strong all of the time would be taking some “you” time and just relaxing, not always taking care of someone.  There will be days when you need someone to lean on and that will help you through the roughest and the best days. 

You and your partner do not have to have every single thing in common but you do have to dislike the same things, and that is a good thing to have in common.   Although there can be some hobbies that you have in common and that you like to go and do together.

The most important thing in any relationship is for the man to have chivalry; the normal of opening the doors for you, fixing your necklace so that the clasp isn’t showing, or not caring if you do your make-up he will think that you look beautiful no matter what you are wearing.   If the guy you are with doesn’t think you are “drop-dead-gorgeous” in your sweatpants, your hair all messy, and no make up then he does not deserve to see you in your wedding dress.
