Ok so answer me this...is loving someone worth the risk of getting hurt? I mean really, loving is hard enough because it puts you out there in a vulnerable spot, but is it worth it when most people don't even know how to love anymore or what loving someone really is or what it takes?

Love to me is more than a feeling, more than a goofy love struck teenage goosebumps and skin tingling movement...it's an action, a commitment and an ongoing choice towards a person...

Someone once told me about a counseling session they had with a couple that wanted to get married because they were "in love". When he asked one why they wanted to marry the other, they replied, "Because she makes me feel good". He replied with, "Oh really? Well someday she is going to make you feel bad. Then what will you do?"

This statement was so true to what people think and make of love these days...it is all in how you feel at that moment, instead of the commitment and choice that love really is towards that one person you are devoted to for the rest of your life. Why are there so many divorces nowadays? Because people "fell out of love". I think that is a ******** excuse for saying, "I don't feel like loving and honoring that person anymore because it isn't getting me anything in return or because I am tired of that person or because I am lazy..." Reference to all of the "I"'s in that sentence...love is supposed to be selfless, but this world has made it into a "me" and "i" issue...

Does anyone agree with this? Has anyone else lost hope in what real love is all about? I sure have...

I need proof...there are so many boys out there that think it is funny to put down a girl just because she stands up for herself. There are boys everywhere that do nothing but live for themselves, do whatever the hell they want when they want and accept no responsibility for their actions or the consequences their actions bring on others. I need to know there is hope...

Over the last several years, starting at the age of twelve, I attract the guys that think smacking a girls' butt is funny and trying to bully her into submission is the only way to go. I have met gentlemen in my time, but they are usually over the age of forty and happily married to the same woman for several years. I want to know there are guys out there that are true men, not boys trying to play house. I want to know there is hope for me to find one of those men...the ones that still know what the word respect is and know how to treat a woman like she is special and of quality...are there any?

I need proof....please...
