Where do we find love?
Love isn't something bought, stolen or borrowed. It's either you have it or not. Sometimes we think that we have to find love when the fact is we have to let love find us. Taking your time to fall in love with someone is better than getting in a relationship and then trying to sort out the pieces.
Some people waste time trying to be the best they can be and put out their all for a relationship when they should be focusing on friendship. A friend is someone you can trust, confide in, turn to for comfort, show love without it being awkward and so much more. So why not fall for a friend or best friend than a total stranger? If you have issues making friends, then a relationship is not for you. That's that.
Its good to explore. Try a new approach. If you are used to having $500 dates, then try a date where you spend only $50 or even no money. Just a walk in the park or a face-to-face conversation. There is no harm in getting to know a person for their personality instead of their wallet. A real genuine person will prefer something abstract which can be memorable than something that can be devoured or thrown away.
The key lies in the hands of the one who can take their time to learn how to love you instead of trying to convince you that they already do..
