I’m not exactly a guru when it comes to love- my adventures in love have been pretty shockingly-bad up until recently. And only being twenty-two, I ain’t exactly Martha Stuart in the department.

But I’ve learned so much about what a real, meaningful relationship is in such a short time. So much so, that I want to share a few key elements to all you people out there. Single or not.

Single people, if you are desperate to find love, don’t despair. As annoying and stupid as this seems, just stop trying. Stop trying to find a really good girl or guy. You will meet someone when the time is right. It might be by accident. Your friend might introduce you to someone, you really don’t know. Don’t focus so much on finding someone, focus more on improving your life.

Long distance relationships seldom work. This goes for online relationships too (relationships started online). I’m not saying that all long distance and online rationships will fail. I know a few couples who are very happy. But consider the emotional strains attached to these kinds of relationships. You are more than likely better off dating someone in your same town or city.

You must have stuff in common to talk about. As hot and nice as the person may be, with nothing to spark intense conversations and laugh over, it will be one Hell of a trip. Make sure you two are mentally compatible.

And prossibly the most important thing to remember, the other person should be kind. If they make you feel like shit, or stress you out, or just generally are being an ass, they aren’t worth it. Move on.

I hope this quick post helps someone out there. And with that, good night. I have a date with the most amazing guy tomorrow.

love, romance
