Written for future reference :)
1. Friends before lovers. Let's face it, the spark does not last forever. The butterflies that once lurked in your stomach upon your first encounter may be nothing but a distant memory after some years. It helps, therefore, if your relationship is built on friendship instead of mere attraction. (Got that from my Mom a while ago :D)
2. Jerks don't deserve a place in your heart. I repeat. Jerks don't deserve a place in your heart.
3. "There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven." Thou shall not rush love, nor look for it. God has a plan for you, and that does not include looking desperate in trying to please a guy.
4. The best kind of love is one that makes you smile and helps you grow, not one that keeps you awake (and sad) at night and leads you astray.
5. Be the kind of person that you'd love to fall in love with. :)
6. Sometimes, it pays to be hard-to-get. (But that's only my two cents :)) )
7. "You know when you've already fallen out of love when you start making sense again." That started as a mere joke to one friend of mine, but there is a grain of truth in it, right? When we're in love, we start doing things that we would not have done if we weren't blinded by our impulsiveness and rush of emotions. So if you ended up looking like a total fool for love before, stop blaming yourself. There is no use in agonizing over your stupid (and unrequited) show of affection, nor extreme self-preservation out of paranoia. Consider your so-called failure as a learning experience.
8. If someone has broken your heart or cheated on you or wronged you, they're headed straight to Loserville. Don't fret; just leave things to God. :)
9. Last but not the least, don't forget love (or the lack thereof, haha) is just one aspect of your life. You still have so many things to care of — your spiritual and emotional well-being, academic and family life. And your obligation to the society!
