Would you like to fall in love?

Would you like to fall in love? In spite of what anyone says, if you believe in the love is there for you? Have you already heard this: nobody wants a commitment from these days, and everyone is married?

There are many negative sounds that will tell you that love could exist, but you'll probably never find. Do not assume them. Here are some of the ways you can fight off the messengers of hollow hope:

* Keep away from hopeless conversations.

Just because that is someone else's opinion does not mean that it should be yours. Look for the talks on the possibility that begin with words like: "I can," and "I will."

* Resist being manipulated by the media.

The media can whisper or scream that you should look or act in a certain way in order to attract someone. People who are overweight, bald, past the age of 50 years or more, driving a late model car, or wearing polyester suits and'60s meet and fall in love every day. So can you.

* Note the selective exposure.

People who feel and think in the same way begin to believe that this perspective is a collective right. If you think that there's nobody out there for you and you've collected on your five or ten friends who think the same way, you should be anchored in this belief, and you will act accordingly. Make a conscious effort to find and hang out with friends who have a possibility of faith and hope.

Build a bank of people who can resist the voices who say all the right track. In fact, the next time you hear that phrase, stand up and be heard saying: "Everything good can not possibly be gone, I'm still here!"

hi betty, thanks for leaving the note on my blog :) and i really like your post about falling in love - it makes so much sense, especially for a single girl like me. :) happy blogging, and do take care!

Your posts are really positive and that is what it comes down to - positive thinking but also the knowledge that things take time. It will be worth waiting for the right person rather than dating as many people as you can. And like you say, don't let other people put you down.

nice one on falling in love.
well, so far as i know the best bet for it is just be yourself and despite whatever weird habits or anything if he likes it he'd fall. also next following that forget all the rules for dating as you mentioned generalised by the media.

so singles out there. just have fun. go out and meet people and if you come across someone who loves you for your quirky unique self. lucky you!

hi betty,

i agree with your posting; i only take exception to the phrase "fall in love". "falling in love" implies that love is magic. TRUE love (the kind that comes from God) is when you CHOOSE to love someone. that's the rock solid foundation of a great relationship. the eros love can follow and spice it up, but it should never be the foundatation.

thank you, and God bless,
paul

how can you decide whether you want to fall in love or not?People say it just happens....I don't know but I am the sort who believes that "why would it be called a CRUSH had it not been something associated with pain"...

Hi, Betty! Thank you for sharing your words. I'm glad you did!
Yes, it’s Portuguese (although a few posts are in English).

When it comes to the subject of falling in love, I feel like tackling complexity: sensations, feelings… But when it comes to genuine love, I agree with Paul’s commentary, although I think “love” and “falling in love” are complementary at some point. Being positive is a way of facing the fear of compromising and creating possibilities for love to happen.
Shalom,
mirianne.
