The L Words

So there a few L words that guys must know. Girls take it seriously, so pay attention, and take notes:

1. Like: you like chocolate, you like your friends, you like football. You like women as friends, this is the lowest least meaningful word on the L word chain.

2. Like: yes, that's italics, use it when you want to be slightly more than friends but aren't sure if you want to get serious yet. Be careful when using this word, girls can take it the wrong way. Never say 'I like you' unless you want to start getting romantic. Never say 'I like her' to your friends, and mean that you like her as friend. If you like someone as a friend, CLEARLY STATE SO.

3. Lust: Dangerous thing, can often be mistaken for love. You can like and lust, OR love and lust, but lust and lust alone should not be the basis of a relationship. Lust is the animal-like need to get physical; kiss, touch, sleep together, etc. If you and your girlfriend are all touchy-touchy and no serious talking, it's lust. If you like a girl for her looks and for how she'd probably be in bed, and you have no interest in getting to know who she really is, that's lust. A lustful relationship is fine, as long as both of you know that it's not very serious, that it's more of a friends-with-benefits thing than a boyfriend-girlfriend thing. Leading her on to make her think that the loving will come after you're done with the lusting, IS WRONG.

4. Love: It's a strange thing, some people claim they can tell WHEN it is that they fall in love, others say they come into terms with it eventually. Indicators of love: your heart spasmodically pumping when you see her, you feel all electrified when you touch her, you feel like you've been lightning struck when you catch her eyes, and you feel all numb down to your toes, you feel uncontrollably over-the-top floating-on-air happy, happy enough to make you feel like randomly bursting into song or to make you jump with joy, you grin at the thought of her, she occupies 98% of your thoughts, every single thing she does to indicate her affection to you makes you happy, multiplied a million times, every single thing she does to slightly hurt you, whether she knows it or not, makes you feel down, multiplied a million times. It basically feels like all your senses, feelings and emotions are going haywire.

Are you unknowingly turning me off?

No intro. Lets jump into business.

• U tipe lyk dis. Unless she tipes lyk dis az wellz, don't! If she uses correct grammar and punctuation online, so should you. I'm not saying to capitalize and spell check everything harder than making a hard copy of your English essay, but basic things such as correct spelling and decent grammar goes a long way. Just like you, most girls like a well educated person to around. As I remember Paige mentioning earlier - you're and your = different! It's okay to do it once, we promise :)
• Men with Dragon Ball Z hair (hey what happened to that, last I heard of it was 2003!). Seriously.
  Me: Wow, imagine that guy having sex with that hair!
  Person X: Never fear. He will never get laid with that hair in the first place.
  
• When guys talk about every girl as if they are meaningless, brainless objects. Some girls are, but most girls aren't and it would really give you extra credit if you appear to have knowledge of that. We understand that you feel that you need to prove you have testosterone and tell the world you are A MAN but sometimes, you just push it. It's not cool, dude.
• When you make yourself appear smart by dumbing people down.
• When you talk about girls, and periods as if you are one and do get your periods so therefore you know. You kind of don't and that just makes you look like an ignorant moron who is trying to be funny but unfortunately miserably failing.
• You openly watch porn. Again, I know this makes you look masculine but to an extent, and anything past that point is downright annoying.
  We know you watch porn. We know the statistics, and unless you are not part of the 100% of all male, then you watch porn. We get it. We get it that you watch porn and it's natural for all guys just as the fact that you also fart, burp, stare at yourself in the mirror and smile cutely and occasionally may choke on your own saliva is. We don't need any of that acknowledged repeatedly.
• Oversensitivity. Just as much as it annoys the freak out of girls when it's her teeth, it's not the best when its in a guy as well. We like sensitivity, however, too much is always just so; TOO much.

Love, Love, Love

Love, if you haven’t already figured out, is a huge deal to girls.

So what is?

Here are a few quotes I found interesting:

• "Love is friendship set on fire." – unknown
• "Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." - Mark Twain
• "To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven." - Karen Sunde
• "Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away." - Dorothy Parker
• "Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
• “Love is like war: Easy to begin but hard to end." – Anonymous
• "Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place." - Zora Neale Hurston
• "Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence." - Erich Fromm

Basically, if you love someone, you will:

• Do anything for them. Anything at all- You want the moon? Here’s the moon.
• You want the best for them; you want them to be happy.
• Overlook their flaws- over a long term.
• Be happy for them even if your love isn’t reciprocated.

So now think. So you really LOVE your partner, or is it more infatuation?
