Love is Something You Can't Control

How Many Chances Are You Willing to Take?

When you put your whole heart into someone else's hands, you know your taking the risk of them breaking it. You have two choices, you can either walk away from the person and protect yourself, or you can take the chance, give it to them, and give all you can to the person and the relationship and hope that they don't hurt you. But no matter what choice you make, you might have a regret or two. If you choose not to take the chance on love, you could end up alone with 25 cats, and trust me ladies, I don't think any of us want to end up like that, now do we? You could choose wisely about who you give your heart to. Maybe there are people in your life that you care about and that deeply care about you that are telling you that this person is serious bad news. You need to sit down and deeply think about what these people are telling you. The words are for a good cause. No one that cares about you wants to see you get hurt. So if you have any doubt in your mind that this person will hurt you, do not give them your heart. But when you do find someone that you feel will take good care of your heart, don't hold back in any part of your relationship. Holding back will only hurt both of you, and you didn't sign up for the relationship to be hurt. You want to be in a relationship that is full of trust and respect, and if you don't trust or respect them before getting into a relationship with them, then its not going to work between the two of you. Don't lower your standards just cause the guy is good looking. You are better than that, and you should always think that you are. Find someone who makes you feel beautiful, not someone who puts you down.

Your statement: "You could choose wisely about who you give your heart to." is really how we control who we become emotionally invested in. Unfortunately most people would rather not approach new relationships with "total awareness". In fact the majority of people find having a check list to be unromantic. They'd rather fly by the seat of their pants and see where the wind takes them. It's the old, "one thing led to another and before you know it...etc"

The truth is each of us (selects) our own friends, lovers, and spouse. You can't say "yes" a thousand times (to exchanging contact info, going on dates, kissing, having sex..etc) and when it falls apart suddenly claim "You can't help who you fall in love with..."

Unless a gun was held to our heads, all of our relationships are by choice! As you stated the key is to choose wisely! Most people aren't willing to invest the time it takes to really get to know someone before becoming emotionally involved. Always use your mind when making decisions for your heart. One man's opinion! :-)
