Some Observations On This Matter Called Love

February 6, 2023

Falling in love is a great experience. Falling out of love, or unrequited love, on the other hand, is a saddening sobering experience. There are no set rules about how to go about it. But here are some tips you may find helpful.

1. Don’t Let Pride Bury Love. Some people have allowed pride to bury their love, and they’ve missed the opportunity to love that special person.

2. Pride Can Sometimes Save Love: A dose of healthy pride on your part can sometimes make the one you love realize they love and cherish you, and can’t do without you. They may come to realise they can’t let you go. But mixing pride in love is a thing to be done carefully, as the wrong amount may send a wrong signal of rejection the sender didn’t intend to send.

3. Don’t Let Timidity Bury Love. Timidity is another threat to love. Some love someone. But they are too timid to admit it to the person. Or too shy. How the love wam take grow?

4. Don’t Let Boldness Chase Love Away: If culture frowns at such approach, you may scare the object of your love by being ‘too bold’ as they may be more culturally inclined on that angle. In some cultures, the usual way to declare love is not by declaring it boldly and directly but by cooking a meal for the intended person.

5. Don’t Let Society Dictate Who You May Fall In Love With. Some people allow society to stop the from marrying the person they want to marry just because that person isn’t in their social class, etc.

6. In Matters Of Love, Society May See Faults You Chose Not To See. Some people when in love don’t see some crucial faults of their significant other that need to be corrected if the love is to go far. Society may see things they fail to see… But don’t forget that some people may lie about others to you out of spite or for selfish aims.

Do you have any other points about love you’d wish to share? Let’s get it in the comments.
