How love should be?

If you’re reading this, congratulations! You’ve either found love or are on the hunt for it. Either way, buckle up because love is an emotional rollercoaster filled with ups, downs and sideways twists that will make even the most stoic person want to hurl.

So what does ‘Love’ really mean? It means different things to different people but at its core, love is a deep-rooted emotional connection with another human being. Love can be romantic or platonic, fleeting or lifelong but one thing’s for sure – if you’re lucky enough to find it, there’s nothing quite like it.

In this guide we’ll delve into the murky waters of love-land and try to figure out how we can navigate it without drowning in our own emotions!

Is ‘true’ Love real?

Okay hold up! What do we really mean by ‘true’ love? Do you mean a romanticized version where birds chirp in harmony every time you see your beloved? If so then nope sorry pal ain’t happening!

But yes true love is real when there’s mutual respect alongside affection. It requires patience (and often lots of forgiveness!), understanding and dedication.

Can Love Conquer All?

Um… nope not all at least! I hate to break it down for ya Romeo but sometimes problems are bigger than those googly eyes staring right back at us from across the table at dinner.

It can absolutely conquer most anything though —indifference notwithstanding— as long as both parties involved understand what they’re signing up for; which let me tell ya now isn’t always unicorns farting rainbows 24/7 (sorry Disney!).

Essential Ingredients For Healthy Relationships

Trust
Respect
Communication
Honesty
Empathy
Sensitivity

These six things are the building blocks upon which healthy love relationships are built. If you don’t have them all in place, your house of love is liable to crumble like a cookie outta Grandma’s oven before it has a chance to get anywhere near being baked-in.

Turn-Ons That Are Actually Turn-Offs

Ah yes! Let’s talk about some behaviours that seem romantic on paper but come across all sorts of cliche (or worse) IRL!

Flattery… basically using compliments and fluffing over-the-top unlikely scenarios. It can be harmless enough when practiced sparingly but when it becomes hard-wired into someone’s personality then it just turns into this hot mess of manipulative corniness — gross!

Guys who show off their money at every turn – eww! But let me tell ya now ladies we know those new Pradas ain’t paying for themselves so keep your eyes peeled…

Lastly, public displays of affection… nope not talking about holding hands or sending googly eyed glances each other’s way from time-to-time. It’s about licking face and pelvis grinding one another on the subway journey home every Danmday afternoon for Pete’s sake (also known as no ones business!).

When Opposites Don’t Quite Attract

It sure feels great when you find someone with lots of shared interests; common ground breeds compatibility after all right? But sooner rather than later there’ll be differences that rear their head creating conflict if unguarded: “I thought listening to funk soul like Lizzo was how everyone spends Tuesday nights?” said No one ever!!

Sometimes though flipsides do end up attracting; for instance they might admire each other’s differing perspectives — oppositeness naturally leads to insightful conversations even debates that will expand both parties’ views.

Divergent interests aren’t bad per se unless safety concerns arise such as having opposing stances on safe sex practices or something equally (Danm) contentious it’s always best to try and find a balance that suits everyone.

“Perfect” Relationships Worth Striving For? Shoot me now!

Perfection towards anything rears its ugly head when expectations run too high. So basically, striving for that perfect relationship is tantamount to an insatiable thirst. Sure we all want to be with someone who gets us completely, who meshes into our lives perfectly without flare-up or fault but this – in perfection-attainment only serves as people’s downfall, killing relationships slowly with every unspoken expectation till eventually the entire thing comes crumbling down like a rotten watermelon outta Grandma’s backyard patch.

Yes I know there is nothing wrong with dreaming big and wanting more on the romantic front… but what about reality? Yours isn’t the notebook!! Newsflash: sorry ladies — Noah don’t exist; never have, never will!! He’s just Ryan Gosling in less formal clothing instead of his usual PJs!

More Myth-busting

Another misstep regarding cultural norming these days rests on the terrible back/white binary where ‘one true love’ apparently has no shades of gray (or blues). Love should blossom irrespective skin pigmentation: Hell yeahy!

In unity there is strength ….alright?
