love

Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever felt nervous around a certain someone? Butterflies and Moths flying in your stomach, and as you talk to them, your words are tongue-twisted? Have you ever felt the need to make your appearance a little more prettier for that certain someone? Have you ever dreamt about romantic dates on the beach and hot romantic sessions in the movies with your crush? Have you ever felt so loved and cherished that you cannot keep the bright smile appearing on your face?

Lucky you. I still havent found the right person to make me feel these things. I guess i wasnt hit with the cupid arrow yet. I mean, yeah, not trying to be vain or whatever, but ive had a few suitors vying for my attention. Unfortunately, i find dating to be a real messy situation, and so i try and avoid feeling loved for as long as possible, and its still working. I do find myself to be a very romance-movie-interested freak, i have watched 27 dresses too many times.

I do admit however, that ive had a few crushes here and there. Your crush or lover will probably be living in your street or attending your school. Your crush will probably be the local milkman, or your Physical Education teacher. But me? I have a idiotic knack of choosing celebrities for crushes, crushes ill never meet, but will probably dream of for ages.

Take Bradley James as my main example. Never met the guy, probably never will, and yet i love his acting, his muscles, his handsome looks and his sexy body. He is my number one, ask my friends. Ask me who i will die to meet or hug or kiss or touch, the name Bradley James will be out in seconds.

But hey, they say love comes in the strangest of times. I personally find this hilariously accurate, seeing as my family friend Jessena found her now fiance at a funeral she was attending. Also my friend Willow told me her bestie's sister found her boyfriend while climbing Mount Everest. Strange, innit?

I have a few friends who have been hit by Cupid. Its pretty obvious, yet romantic, seeing the look on their faces when you mention the word love. They suddenly go into this distant daydream and stay like that until you hit them on the forehead hard. I have a certain friend who has been hit by Cupid once before. She vowed to never fall in love after that, but after the arrow hit her in the holidays, she found love once more. I guess love does ripen when your heart is ready.

As for me, i dont think im ready to fall into the love trap. Ive always been obnoxious to love, and i hope to stay that way until i meet THE ONE. Not the sideline guys, or the neverending line of boys who keep vying for attention. I want to fall in love when im ready, and i dont think im there. Falling in love is a huge step, especially if you have many friend or family problems. I guess my past experience does teach me a lesson in the end - fall in love when your ready and never look back.

So, heres my advice to those who want pointers in love, or those who are uncertain. Never find a guy that will never make you happy. Never fall in love with a guy who disrespects your parents. Never fall for someone who doesnt treat you right, and doesnt cherish you above his friends. Fall in love with someone who makes you feel like a princess, who gives you little presents and suprises, and who kisses you until you get weak in the knees. Find someone who makes you feel special, who treats your friends and family with the respect they deserve. And my final advice?

Never fall in love when your not ready to.

I wish someone had given me this advice. I wouldnt have fallen for someone who put his friends over me, and even though i was his prized possession, took time to make my life miserable.I mustve been hit by Stupid. If someone had given me this advice earlier, i would have saved drama, pain and heartbreak.
