Me: (explaining why these 2 people at my work shouldn't get together, one is cool, one's a selfish idiot)
"..and they totally don't get each other, if they went out it would just be two people together for the heck of it, it wouldn't be beautiful like two people who fit together perfectly, and if it's not completely beautiful than what's even the point?"
Sarah: "Oh Vic, you are SUCH a romantic!"
???! Such a romantic? As if this is some crazy abstract concept that isn't at all realistic, you may as well take what you can get and go out with anyone who will agree.. People who date like this are either just doing it to satisfy they're own lonliness because they don't know how to live without having someone to loose themselves in, or they're not holding out for something beautiful, someone amazing who understands and appreciates and is captivated by everything about them, and visa visa. People don't think such a thing is possible, and they think "Well, I can't stay single forever, better find someone and make it serious" Don't sell yourself short of what your heart is longing for, what you were created for. When God made us he intended for a guy and and a girl to fit together so amazingly perfect, and it's not too farfetched to believe that someone exists who you will truely admire and genuinely be attracted to them at the core, and that that person will be completely in love with you too, appreciating everything about you and understanding you more than anyone else.. this is who I would devote my life to, anything less (in someone you marry) is not worth the energy, the sacrifice, the exclusive commitment.. Those are serious things not to be taken lightly. I would rather be single my entire life than to marry someone when our relationship would be anything less than amazingly beautiful. What's even the point?
In any friendship, romantic or not and even with acquaintances, don't seek to satisfy your own needs, but seek to realize the value and beauty in others. That's what true love is
