What is love?
In eighth grade I remember the guys always talking about the girls. “Man, she’s hot.” Or “You think I should ask her out?” Then once we had the guts to ask we would soon find out whether we were going out or being shot down. If we were lucky we’d start going out. The sudden rush of emotions would kick in. Butterflies in our stomach, excited about going out with our “dream girl,” and anxious about not messing it up so we won’t get dumped. If the relationship lasts long enough we move into high school, but the feelings change. Instead of the nervousness and butterflies in our stomach, we start becoming more bold and sometimes make stupid decisions. As most of us know, these decisions are usually about becoming physical. One thing leads to another and before we know it the relationship becomes too serious. This is the difference between love and infatuation. When we’re infatuated with someone we make decisions based on our feelings. If we love someone we will consider someone else’s feelings and we’ll be willing to get to know someone before we move so quickly. Infatuation lasts a moment, but love takes time. So next time you find yourself interested in dating someone, take the time to consider more than just your immediate feelings.
Love
