Dear Love, Dear Lust

I've made it through chapter one of Dateable. It was all about how relationships do not last. And it's entirely true. Girls and guys see relationships in two separate ways and it all comes down to this:
Girls think it will last, Boys don't.

This is our whole problem! Girls waste their time by doing all kinds of stupid things to keep a relationship going because a boy told us this one time that he wants us to be together forever. For many of us, a guy has never said that. Why? Because he doesn't mean it. A guy will tell you what you want to hear. Keep that in mind at all times.

If you accept the fact that the relationship will be over eventually, then we can just have fun in it and savor every second of it. We won't waste time fretting over what he did or didn't say or what he did or didn't do. Think about it, how much time do you spend thinking about your guy or a guy you're needing to like you? Now, if you took away how much you cared about shaping yourself into his opinion of "the right girl," how much time would you spend? Exactly.

And another thing, don't get your boyfriend involved with your family. Then it's like you're dating your family and that's so wrong on so many levels.

Isn't it funny how there are so many boys out there and so many that we can have, but we get hung up on one? I'm one of those people who loves boys, I don't really have a type, but I like dark hair and dark eyes best. Oh, and everything (including boys) is better foreign. But that doesn't mean that I'm immune to a broken heart. Because I give mine away so much, my heart is full of more cracks and holes than you can possibly count. I've tried to fill it with chocolate, with sports, with all kinds of things. But you can never fill a hole with anything except what made that same hole. Example: if you throw a baseball through a window, there will be a hole there the size of a baseball and a basketball or a yo-yo won't be able to fill it; only the baseball can do that. It's the same way with a person's heart. Tape eventually gets un-sticky (yeah, even duct tape loses its stickiness after a while), chocolate melts, and people go away.

Isn't it funny how your heart can stop when you see them? How you can want them so bad that you can't breathe? No, not really. Sometimes you can be so overwhelmed by someone that you can't help but cry. You wonder what you're doing wrong, how you can make this last. Sometimes you want them so bad that it burns you up. They make you feel like you're on fire, but they can take it away at any second. You hate that they can do that to you, that they can have that kind of power over you like that, but you can't help it. You're too far gone.

Trust me, I know how this feels. I've been through it and I know that you're never the same after. There is hope. I know you're all probably thinking, how can you say that when you're still not over this guy? Because...what other choice do you have? Do you really want to spend your life feeling sorry for yourself and entirely torn up over some guy? No. So you suck it up and at least act like you don't give a damn what he thinks. Eventually you'll believe it, but you will always have a weakness for him. Always. Why? Because there was a spark and a connection between you two once and it will always be there a little bit. Even for the guy.
