4 Worst Pieces of Dating Advice You Can Receive
4 Worst Pieces of Dating Advice You Can Receive by James Russell Lingerfelt
---
Everyone we know is a relationship expert, so they think. They'll dish out advice all day since they aren't responsible for the outcome of your decisions. When in doubt, here's some pointers based on research to to help you navigate.[image error]1. Choose someone based on physical attraction.
“Date with your eyes closed.”
“I once sneered at comments like, “He fell in love,” because I was always taught that love is action. I still believe that. But I now understood what people meant by the expression. You really are just living your everyday life, walking around, and then you trip. Just as you realize what’s happening, you’ve already fallen. It’s too late.”

“It’s okay if you feel like you must leave. But as the years pass and you remember our time together and you’re at a place or with a person who makes you wonder what happened to the goodness in humanity, if you ask yourself if you were ever loved by someone other than those within your immediate family, the answer is yes. There was a boy you knew in college who loved you. A part of him will love you the rest of his life. No matter how much land or ocean or time separates the two of you, he will be there for you if you ever need him.”

“Sometimes I watch the moon and think about all the people in the entire history of people who also looked up at that very same moon. And I think about how they all saw sunsets and sunrises put off by the very same sun I see, and that they enjoyed all those streaks of colors. That one moon and one sun unites the entire human race.”

“Pay attention to where your mind goes when it wanders. It’ll tell you a lot about yourself.”

“When we see people as gifts, rather than possessions, we learn to hold them rather than cling to them. My own experience has taught me that if you love people and let them be themselves in your presence, you’ll never be short of friends.”

“Feelings can erupt quickly and scare us. Yet they thrill and dare us to grab on tight. It’s an edge where life and death seem separated by a thin line. We know that if we love and live, then we can walk, run, and fly. But if we love and lose, we fall and wonder if crawling will ever be possible again.”

“If you pour out your love to others and genuinely love people, you’ll find the healing you seek. When you’re my age, and you look back on your life, the greatest moments that stand out will be the times you poured yourself out for others.”

“You might believe that you must stop loving Eden, but that’s not true. We can love even when we know that love will never be returned. We are allowed to love someone even if that person is gone. What we miss is their presence, but that doesn’t mean we must stop loving them.”
