LOVE...An Investment?🤔



Come to think of it, what is love?...Isn't it all about the time, gifts, attention you give to your partner. Every single thing you do for your partner either to win them over or keep them counts.
Isn't there an end goal or an expectation in doing all these? 
Don't we all expect that the more we give the more we will receive from our partners?
And what is an investment, isn't it the action of putting money, effort, time, etc. into something to make profit or get an advantage, or the money, effort, time, etc. used to do this. 
We however tend to convince ourselves that our actions are not essentially an investment but rather an expression of love.

We've all heard of  partners who've helped the other partner when they were not doing so well in life but get dumped when cette partner makes it big.
What happens? Can we say it's a case of falling out of love?..
It's just a case of poor communication between the partners.
Both parties should be really honest about their feelings and intentions.

Since most times the girl is the one being pursued;
 In case the dude is interested in something serious, hence the gestures, he should be able to make it completely clear to the girl so that there is no misinterpretation.
This way the girl will clearly understand the reason for the dudes gestures and not mistake them for him just being 'nice' or 'friendly'.
The girl is therefore supposed to tell the guy whether she is interested or not; if Yes, the dude can keep the gestures coming and ,if No, the dude should stop the gestures since they are never going to be reciprocated or lead to anything.

It's hard to say that, 'love is doing things for the one you love without expecting anything in return' because it nullifies the whole courtship stage where the partners engage in a romantic relationship with the end goal being either marriage or a long term relationship.

There are obviously two theories here about love;
  " love is an investment of feelings, emotions, efforts, time in the person one loves"
  " love is doing things for the one you love without expecting anything in return"

 Communication is key!😘

Forbidden Love; The Age Factor

So let's first start with my own viewpoint on this issue; I personally feel that the age difference really counts and should be considered in a relationship. This is why: Too much of an age difference causes a conflict in the partners' interests and priorities. It will be hard to do activities or go places together. Different motives of getting into the relationship. The issues of relationship goals also factors in here; one partner is in it for a long time commitment but the other is just doing it on the spur of the moment. The much older partner tends to look down on the younger partner in terms of lesser experience and knowledge in matters of relationships. This creates a superior-inferior feeling among the partners which is not healthy in a relationship. Little or no age difference at all is also kinda risky. The partners' mindsets are not far from different.They think almost the same way. This might bring in some sort of conflict in the relationship as ...

The First Date Drama

So i heard this discussion on radio today and it reminded me of how much i have always wanted to talk about it. Every little aspect..and there is no better time to do it than now when Valentine's Day is just around the corner and y'all are gonna be going on those blind dates , hookups , setups or it might just be that time when you've met that awesome dude or chic! So on those first dates this is what you need to consider to guarantee you that second date; Dressing ladies You need to look good of course but be careful not to overdress or underdress. By overdressing i mean; you don't really have to go shopping just for the date unless you totally have nothing to wear which is highly unlikely. You also don't need to don all your jewelry and make-up coz you'll just end up looking like a clown which is totally not the impression you'd be going for. This isn't the time to experiment!! If you've never tried heels before just...
