The Scary L Word: Love

As a single woman I tend to gravity towards other single women in my real life, twitter, and blogging. One thing that all of us have in common is that we are obsessed with our singlehood. It is probably one of the biggest things we talk about. How we wish that perfect guy would show up. How we don't need a man and we're happy to be single. How we're lonely.



The thing is that I wonder what many of us would do in the situation if we actually found this elusive "perfect guy." Would we know what to do or would we be to scared??

While love sounds great on paper it is pretty frightening in real life. With love comes the possibility of rejection, heartbreak, and tears. But also the possibility of real happiness, fulfillment, and the enjoyment of companionship.

All of this leads me to wonder if in reality we are scared of love!

There are so many opportunities that present themselves that we choose to ignore for one reason or another but what we have to ask ourselves is, is that the real reason you won't commit or is it because we are frightened of losing ourselves or getting hurt?

It is ok to be scared of falling in love but fear shouldn't stop us from pursuing it. So I challenge you the next time you turn down a guy that seemed like he could fit well with you think about the real reasons you are doing it. You might be surprised!!



As Always, Stay Classy
XOXO

  1. You continue to amaze me with your insight- today I am able to offer a little something maybe- I was like you before, scared of love and rejection,etc..and yes love can be scary but when you meet that 'elusive perfect guy' (they DO exist f.y.i) you won't even have fear cross your mind..something to consider :)

  2. I love this. Before M, I only dated one other guy seriously. The rest I refused to be serious with and do anything more than "casually" hang out. I was terrible and hurt a lot of really nice/amazing guys. I was even skeptical of M, until I realized that I'm not getting any younger and he is really amazing why not go for it and see what happens. Best decision I ever made. I hope you have fun weekend plans.

    1. I love the "I'm not getting any younger" argument. I'm so glad you took the chance with him though, it just proves there was a reason why you held back on all the other guys!
