What Does Real Love Look Like?

A man showing anger and persistence to get you back once you try to break it off isn't proof of love; it's a knee jerk reaction. A man kissing your ass and making flaccid attempts to be nicer for two weeks isn't proof that he's trying, it's proof that he knows how to defuse you long enough to hook you once again. Just because he cries doesn't mean you give him what he wants. Love yourself! You're not soulmates because you like the same things and have become comfortable with one another. Show me something deeper than pet names and zodiac signs. A lot of girls don't know what it's like to be loved by a real man. You know lust, you know joy, and you know fear of abandonment. You've put all your faith in this promise that Prince Charming will come for all women, but now that you're getting older you realize that you've never been truly loved. Stop chasing your idea of what love should be and recognize what love really is. Love isn't promising to act right after he messes up; love is him acting right from the start so he doesn't mess up. Love isn't telling a grown man that he needs to change in order to keep you; love is a grown man changing on his own because he can't imagine life without you.
