LOVE and being broken:(
April 4, 2012 1:41am CST
We as human beings have this strong feeling to be wanted, to be cared and most especially to be loved, but sometimes we tend to read between the lines and end up reading it too far from what it really means. We read it as LOVE when it really just mean friendship. And then we hear or read stories about this person and another girl/guy is involve and by that time you fall FAST to the ground broken, crashed and miserable but then again when you think of it, you do't have any right to feel it because the two of you are nothing but just friends, it's YOU who just hurt yourself, YOUR assumptions, YOUR expectations.. so be wise, think before you fall and love yourself first.. and most esp.NEVER ASSUME UNLESS IT IT SPOKEN..

The worst thing that can happen to a guy is to think he is in love when the woman is all for friendship , i always make my intentions known from the beginning of the friendship so that we shall draw the line, above all women must understand that guys only make friends with people they adore and always have it at the back of there mind that it is gong to develop into love

Makes me think of the Song of Solomon (in the Christian Bible), where Solomon repeatedly calls his lover "My sister, my spouse"---kind of gives the idea that a wife is like 'a sister YOU decide to have' (making you of course 'the brother SHE decides-to-have/allows-to-have-her').
Maybe leading to the idea that love is 'always there' like the ground beneath your feet, and sometimes you and someone else can share the same ground without discomfort. I mean, God first gave Eve to Adam as a partner---a teammate with whom to more-efficiently serve as children of God.

Actually, 'if it's spoken' is just a secondary reaction to a moment's feeling. In other words, 'words are just words.'
For example, 'you kill me' 
Now, I could be talking about the funny joke you tell (making me 'die laughing') or about something you do that crushes a project-or-something I had spent time preparing that I had high hopes for a successful outcome.
In the wind of romance, I think it would be best to stand like the willow tree: be firmly rooted in your foundation, but let your branches and most of your body bend to the breeze.

I agree that inaccurate assumptions and unreasonable expectations can ruin a good relationship. I believe open and honest communication is incredibly important.
We all deserve to give and receive love where we bring out the best in each other.
