Allow yourself to be vulnerable and lovable

Keywords: love , patterns , relationships , dating , introspection

You focus on loving yourself, because without self-love, you cannot love another human. And you need to understand someone else does not complete you. As a person who would love a long term partner yesterday, I know this future partner cannot save me, fix me, or 100% fulfill me as there are too many wants and needs in my lifetime to be the responsibility of one person. That does not mean I need multiple partners. It means I am trying to apply healthy expectations of what I look for in a partner. I do not want a lust based relationship. And that has nothing to do with the sexual desire and intimacy that comes from physical attraction, mental attraction, intimate connection, what have you. I want love that is founded on something more than my mind and body telling me I have chemistry because I am pulled towards another toxic relationship.

Some people are beautiful before you actually get to know them, while others become more beautiful after you get to know them

I feel many youths often mistake crushes and infatuation with love. It’s easy to see how the two are mistaken for love because the feelings are so intense, but there is a difference. A big difference in fact. Infatuation is defined as an intense but short lived passion or admiration for someone or something. Love is patient, love is understanding, and love is forgiving. Love desires a deep connection, while infatuation craves physical interactions.If you have a strong crush on someone – It is Infatuation. But , It is interesting to note that, Most of the time , Infatuation is always the pre-stage of love and It is not love.
