I LOVE WIKIPEDIA
What can’t you read up on?
Unrequited Love ”Some say that one-sided love is better than none, but like half a loaf of bread, it is likely to grow hard and mouldy sooner”
Boyfriend ”In the early to mid 20th century, in the US, women were often interviewed by “gentleman callers”, single men who would arrive at the home of a young woman with the hopes of beginning a courtship.”
Limerance ”an involuntary state of mind which seems to result from a romantic attraction to another person combined with an overwhelming, obsessive need to have one’s feelings reciprocated.”
and other shit that doesn’t necessarily need to be explained scientifically but is still entertaining nonetheless. Why this is what I chose to look up, I don’t know.
“Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person? That’s the advice I would give to women: Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn’t know. And, more important, how does he treat you? When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You should never feel less than. You should never doubt yourself. You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if you’re in that relationship and you’re dating, then my advice is, don’t get married. Get out of it and find that person that brings you complete and utter joy with who you are at the moment.”
