falling-in-love zero games
When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, simply fall out of love. But a friendship isn't a zero-sum game, and as such, you assume that it will last forever, especially an old friendship. You take its permanence for grandted, whuch might be the very thing so dear about it.
falling-in-love disappointing worst
It's the worst thing to fall in love with someone who will never stop disappointing you...
thinking love-and-friendship who-we-are
As everyone applauds and sips champagne, I smile back at Rachel, thinking she got it just right. Love and friendship. They are what makes us who we are and what can change us, if we let them.
life-and-love heart games
I spend the rest of the afternoon trying to explain to Zoe one of the very saddest notions in love and life: sometimes the timing is wrong--and sometimes you realize the heart of the matter way to late in the game.
love thinking wind
I still think I love him more. It's one of those things you never know for certain because there's no way to enter all the relationship data in a computer and have it spit out a definitive answer. You can't quantify love, and if you try, you wind up focusing on misleading factors.
love-is life-is reason
Whats not to love is hardly a reason to love. And the catch of your life is not the same thing as the love of your life. Be careful of that subtle but rather crucial distinction.
mistrust love-someone
You can love someone you mistrust.
love-is emotional people
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there. Love is seldom-almost never-an even proposition.
falling-in-love fun night
I think I hoped for something more. Maybe I even hoped that I could find in Richard what I had with Ben. But it is suddenly very clear: Richard is not fallin in love with me and I'm not falling in love with Richard. We are not creating anything permanent or special. We are only having fun together. It is a fling- a fling just like he said last night- a fling with an ending yet to be determined. I feel relieved to have it defined
letting-go past love-relationship
Change can be good but its always tough to let go of the past
unforgivable if-you-truly-love-someone love-someone
Really-nothing is unforgivable if you truly love someone.
ice tea things-i-love
Sweetened ice tea is one of the things I love about the South, right up there with homemade biscuits and cheese grits.
love-is propositions
Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone always loves more.
true-love uplifting love-is
True love is supposed to make you into a better person-uplift you.
