Love Is Serious, How Much Do You Want It?

Why do so many young women feel the need to be in love? High school and undergraduates are just, searching high and low for that someone to call their own and put a ring on it. Hey! Not everyone is Beyonce! from 15 to 24, the average male or female are still exploring themselves and getting to know themselves better. If you take a quick search on social networking sites, you'll see more than enough young women "In Love" with their "hubby," or saying "I Love Him," or so-and-so loves so-and-so, and stating the month, day, and year their relationship started. Ok, comme on now. Does everyone have to be looking for love? I'm not saying that its fine to be all willy nilly and wild, but something serious as love should stay as something serious. Young people are beginning to mistake love for infatuation, strong attraction and lust. Notice the differences, I say. It's easier to hold off from fueling Kleenex's rankings through the discharged tears from abrubtly ended relationships. Most likely caused from guys breaking up with the girl, the girl catching the guy cheating, the guy telling the girl off, the girl being used for sex when she "thought" she was in a committed relationship. It's easier to wake up and smell the Folgers and say, hey, does he (or she) really love me?
How has he (or she) proven this to be a fact?
How have I proven that I really do love him, (or her)?
I'm sure these questions run through the mind of someone involved in a relationship, but they may never come to fruition because one may be scared or timid to address it. At a young age, it's easier to say what someone doesn't want, rather than what they really do want in a relationship. What they may want to gain, learn, achieve by being in a relationship and really being able to notice whether or not they are in love.
It's cool to give the relationship thing a try, but it's not cool to try, and try, and try having sooooo many different relationships, looking for someone to put a ring on, at 18, and with no success. Now just isn't the time. Have fun, enjoy yourself. Date! Crushes will come and go like the wind. Some people might as well be inside of compactors because of how they treat their significant others.
Again, a good time is what life should be about at this age. Love can wait. Don't look for it.
