How can you you say humbug, you were the one who never gave up on those pesky GC controllers.

a few observations.

most of you are so young that you really shouldn't be worried about love (i won't say you don't know anything about it or anything condescending, but it might not be true). like seriously. if you're still in high school (and maybe even college), date for looks. at worst, you'll get to date a hottie and at best, you'll learn a little about dating

my (about 20 years older than me) brother once told me this:
"Never get a girlfriend."

as for myself, I'm pretty sure I've experienced love.
i went through the typical puppy love for a couple years in high school. senior year, i met a girl. we fell in love. we dated for a year and a half. at some point during this time, i left for college. we broke up about a month ago.
moral of the story is that a long-distance relationship is hard to maintain and causes a lot of problems and pain.

Don't worry, I'm 16, and I'm entirely sure I know what is love. If been waiting long enough for this, and hell it's awesome.

MY brother (about 7 years older then me) told me the same thing. Maybe too little too late, though. MAN, hers eyes are sparkley...

I don't like your date for looks idea. (Mabie for some people, it depends on where you are in life). Sure, first of all there has to be physical attraction, but, love is more than that. When you love someone, you don't just think to yourself, wow she's a hottie. You think wow, I will never get tired of being with her. I want to spend every waking moment of every day with her. You think, "I love you some much I can't descibe it in words." As for being too young i'm 14 turning 15 and still in High School. For me I've always looked for Love and my search may be over.

Not really. Honestly, I wasn't physically attracted to my girlfriend (which is not to say that she isn't attractive, just that she wasn't my ideal type). We started out as friends, and after some number of months we decided that we were good for each other. And that's how some things start.
Dating for looks will almost always end with you being the one getting hurt, my friends. You might strike it rich, so to speak, and find someone who has the right looks and the right personality, but given the choice, choose the latter!

Like he says. Anyway, well there is usually a little bit of physical attraction, but it's so much more than that. I mean, usually, if you see 2 girls that you don't know at all, one is cute and the others is far from your ideal. Well, you'll maybe try to know the cute one first.

He didnt say, love the "looker" he said date them, also love at first sight= hoax, you know nothing about them, ie you cant love what you dont know.

jeep · Post by **jeep** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 10:20 am

I didn't meant love at first sight, I just meant you'd be more tempted to go talk to the cute one first. And maybe from a long talking, love could come out from the shadows.

Wow, this is a subject I didn't expect to see....

I will say this. Love should never be a secret. If you feel something for someone, always go for it. It sucks to look back and think of what might have been. One more thing. Be cool. The world is not going to end if she says no, or if you date for a while and then she says go away. Life will go on and so must you. I've kept love a secret before. I've gone after someone, gotten them, and then worried the whole time we were together that this would not last. I was looking for the breakup and it came. I've been with my current girlfriend for nearly two years and am not worried about us breaking up. If it happens, so be it. I'll move on.

uh, the point i was trying to make is that at age 15, you shouldn't be looking for love. i can't count (ok, well i can) the number of times i thought i was in love when i wasn't.

point is, at this early point in your life, don't bother looking for love. it carries a lot of baggage you don't need to bother with. date for fun, for looks, for whatever, but don't go looking for "the one" just yet. its cool if he/she happens to pop up while you're out scoping hotties, but don't limit yourself to looking only for girls you can see yourself with 2 years down the line, let alone 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 years.

You said it! (referring to the right personality observation).
Just wondering is your girlfriend um... Japanese by chance? You have every right not to answer this if you feel uncomfortable or anything.
