Lols, I wouldn't kill an ex in real life. Have to find an ex for that first and that's too much work

but isn’t attraction supposed to be the first step to love? I mean, how can you be attracted to somebody and hate them? xD

@theone: lol. It’s supposed to be piece of cake for many people.

@Lovin - the murdering or the finding people you WANT to murder?

I'm attracted to a lot of people I hate This is the mentality of the male. Hah.

@lovinlife: attraction doesn't mean anything though.

For example, many people find models attractive though there's next to no chance they'd actually get together and all that. Many times people jump in head first into lust rather than any 'real' love.

Falling in love? More like falling in lust lol.

@thefool: Most of the AM games' canon is against the majority of people's liking anyway so a falling out of love with the canon couple would work out fine lol.

Online dating...Whether you're rooting for it or against it, it balances itself on that fine line of utter disaster or unexpected happiness.

We've heard of many stories of how online dating lead to disaster dates or worse. But there are also some who unexpectedly found happiness.

I know of an ex-colleague who found happiness through online dating. She was divorced with a daughter who was in primary (grade) school. In spite of her circumstance and not to mentioned language barrier, she was Chinese and he was Korean, all turned out well. She took the effort to learn the language and after several (I don't know exactly how many ) dates spent in each other's country, they finally got engaged to be married.

For "real life/person" dating,I've seen disastrous outcomes when the relationship ended. Boy Y and Girl X, splits. Mild cases, both moves on as if the relationship or the "acquaintance-ship" never happened, both walk past each other like how one walks past a stranger. More extreme ones - they hate each other guts and some even go as far as to tear down each other's things or reputation. This happened a lot during my uni days, since most people tend to date people from the same faculty (due to the "structure" of my uni, different faculties don't get to mix around with one another except for when there's a sport tournaments, charity/sale project going on)

After all that's been said about dating and love. If you asked me about experience on love and dating, I *coughs* only *coughs* have experience of by-stander -- 3rd person's perspective view of what happened between Girl X and Boy Y. I somehow always end up being sandwich between the drama, whether it was of my own will or not. ("People, leave me out of your love vendettas!" would be what I might say but no, I somehow "have to get myself mixed up with the gossip networks, and gossip pops up in front of me without warning ^^; ).

Anyway, I'm going out of topic...

In my own sincere opinion, Love itself is no less (or even more - ?)dangerous than any form of dating.

Why?

Love (itself) is a battlefield ("Love is a Battlefield", Jordan Sparks). We take our chances on people, make plans and strategies on how to attract capture and imprison our love interest. Sometimes we score, sometimes it's just a big screw-up that'll fill up yet another spot in the hall of shame.

That's how "The Game of Love" (Michelle Branch) is like. Take a chance and love like you never been love before, but be warned that you might have to cry your heart out.

A word of advice, even when you are on cloud nine during the dating/honeymoon period. Never neglect your friends, they are the one who would cheer you on when times are great and in times of despair, they'll scoop you up from floor and piece you back.

@thefool: definitely not the latter. :p as for mentality of men, explains a lot lol.

@ktc: now, now, lust and love do have a link :p. Normal fans lust all the time over their role models, actors/actresses, etc. and whadayya know, Sandra bullock ended marrying a blue collar worker after all.

@layaa: not me. But that doesn’t mean I believe in changing your mate every now and then along with your prepaid mobile cards either.

Agree with you 100%. If pure love exists with pure soul mates, then why don't people fall in love before hormones?

@theone: cuz you need hormones to fall in love.

Lols, then I guess you did not love your parents till puberty

i would say get to know the person before the date. like become friends then go for the date. date only people you know.

@theone: lol. Parents happen to be an exception. You have to love them, its obligation, whether you hit puberty or not xD.

I’m talking about the whole “finding your perfect match” thing, all the heart raising, sweaty palms, flushed face, nervousness around that person, saying anything that has nothing to do with a sensible conversation ( in other words, making yourself look like a complete idiot and apparently it works?) is all because of the oh so lovely hormones. Then again, I’m no expert, never fell for anyone and have no plans on either.

Just because they're your parents doesn't mean you have to love them.

Was just being sarcastic. Well at least attempted to Even so, for the fact that they literally brought us up half our life, I would give a certain amount of regard to that.

That still doesn't mean they deserve the return of love or that a child has to love their parents.

To each his own, right Mopiece? I guess some parents don't deserve and some parents do. It's not really what this topic is about anyways.

@lovinlife: a very weak 'link'. Lust comes and goes, as do love. Unfortunately, far too many confuse their feelings of fickle lust for the supposedly more substantial love and that leads into far too much trouble than what it's worth.

As for parents: they don't automatically deserve love. No one does. They have to earn it just like everyone. For 'good' parents, that's easy to do. For the bad ones: the only thing one should 'thanking' them is for being an egg/sperm donor, if even that.

As for soulmates: as depressing as the concept is (there's roughly 7 billion humans on this planet, what are the chances you'll find your mate in your lifetime?) I doubt its true. Far too selective for such a promiscuous race like homo sapiens.

Soul mates: and that’s why Bella decided to hit on a vampire instead. Now, if only they actually existed (And were NOT sparkly), we’ll all have our own brand of soul mate(s).

And were NOT sparkly

How about a sparkle me Jacob?


Passing over that, trying to prove love exists is like trying to prove telepathy exists.
