They say true love waits. But does it literally mean to wait until forever? I guess it does. Love needs no rushing anyway.

Talk to the hand!

There are things worth waiting than chasing. Chasing for the love of your life is a perfect example of this.

For a girl to have a love life, unless she is aggressive, she needs to wait for the right guy to come to her. That is simply how things normally work in the universe. On the other hand, for a guy to have a love life, he needs to find his prospect girl. At one point, it can be viewed as chasing. However, he can’t just force things between him and the girl to happen. He needs to wait for the girl to say yes. He needs to wait for the girl to trust in him. He needs to do a lot of waiting. The question of how long to wait though, is enigmatic.

They say true love waits. But does it literally mean to wait until forever? I guess it does. Love needs no rushing anyway.

Talk to the hand!

I don’t believe this anymore. Waiting for love is a teenager’s notion. When you are 27 or older, waiting for love is no longer applicable. Whether you are a boy or a girl, you need to be more aggressive. Unless you want to be single forever, you need to expedite your search for love.

If you got rejected by your first prospect, then don’t bother yourself to force him/her to be yours. Find other prospects. If you got rejected for so many times, do not give up. Expand your search horizon. Go out more often.  Meet new people. It is true that there are more fish in the ocean. All you need to do to catch them is to go fishing.

And do not think of abruptly changing your style just to please your prospects. They will later find out your true you, anyways. Just do little improvements. Be a better you without pretending to be somebody else.

If you find a prospect person who’s also considering you to be his/her prospect, consider it as a catch. Whether you love the person or not, give yourself a try. Do not rely too much of what you feel. Love is not just about emotions. It is also about decisions. You can control it. If you can’t, then you need to learn to control your emotions and feelings. Love as well as other feelings should not be blind. It should be guided and controlled.

Chasing for love can sometimes lead to disappointment. However when you are at the brink of dusk, you need to consider it as a fast paced adventure. Mourning over short miseries and disappointments eat up much of your time. Do not bother yourself to spend time mending these things. They are beyond your control. You need to hurry. You need to be quicker than your own heartbeat before it concocts its self-effacing emotions. To find love, you need to chase for it.

    I agree with you. There is a saying that even God help those who helped themselves. True love waits but a person also needs to give an effort right otherwise how can you find your life long friend? of course, it requires some patience to understand and find true love.

    When women are in their teens or in their twenties they can select men especially if they are financially well off and attractive. But as they grow older their attractiveness somewhat fades. As this stage in their life if they have not yet gotten Mr Right, then they shouldn’t be picky especially if they are already in their 30’s. However, they should maintain their dignity. They shouldn’t just pick any Tom, Dick and Harry to be a partner if they feel that they couldn’t be happy with him. It’s better to be forever single than to be sorry.

  • OhSugar on Jan 31, 2011

    I will never chase someone for love, I may be chasing the wrong person. I will live my life and TRUE love will come.

  • The Quail 1957 on Jan 31, 2011

    Great article. Love has a way of finding its own way if the time is right it will come.

  • Betty Carew on Jan 31, 2011

    I am so happy my wait was over 45 years ago. It just sounds like to much trouble nowadays especialy if you have to “settle” due to age. Great post Franklin.

  • Wizard Brown on Jan 31, 2011

    hmmmm I think I agree Franklin. Good share

  • Thespeakman on Jan 31, 2011

  • 1Arjun on Jan 31, 2011

    Always be open to change, Don’t get stuck in a rut.

  • LJ Spain on Jan 31, 2011

    Excuse me, Lapasan? LOL. Wrong! Our beautiful does not fade. It changes. Actually, what happens with age is that we will not accept the things we used to accept, therefore our choices are very slim.

    Loved the article. If you are aggressive, be aggressive!

  • T. S. GARP on Jan 31, 2011

    Love comes about anywhere and durnng anytime, but waiting for love could take years, chasing the wrong love could also waste time, be mindful that love finds us best when you’re not looking and unexpected by someone you hardly noticed before. Loves comes at the right time and on time. Good share!

  • MsPatriciaDV on Jan 31, 2011

    I believe that if you love or want someone, GRAB HIM!

  • LCM Linda on Feb 1, 2011

    Love needs patience, good luck and active participation.

    nice one

  • leoforex on Feb 1, 2011

    taking action is good

  • gvgatchalian on Feb 1, 2011

    I love the term you used, expedite. :) I believe there’s one love waiting for one person, the “somewhere out there” kind of thing. Just continue searching and expediting, and it’ll surely come.

  • FX777222999 on Feb 1, 2011

    You are now mature when it comes to love. That is life and we have to accept and move on forward. Good piece!

  • Adrn0919 on Feb 1, 2011

    Very thought provoking article. You bring out good points. Well done.

  • khalique on Feb 10, 2011

    Good One….

  • Payge on Mar 20, 2011

    I found my true love when I was 43 and 6 years later watched us walk seperate paths again.But it was worth every minute of those 6 years to know I was loved and really wanted in the orrect sense.I may or may not find that again and in saying that states I remain single untill I do.But you are correct……never give up on love just be careful and dont settle for anyone you cant be happy with.You have to be true to yourself /love yourself before you can really love anyone else the right way.
