love and reality........

Background;

Love is friendship that has “caught” fire overtime while infatuation is an instant fire or an instant desire.
It becomes dangerous to differentiate love and infatuation in the early stage of a relationship, say in the first few weeks of a relationship. This is the stage I like to call the “formation stage”. Needless to say that love its self starts with a strong sexual attraction for the opposite sex – a strong sexual attraction itself can be called infatuation hence the difficulty is discerning what you feel within the first to few weeks of starting a relationship.

What I call the formation stage is that period where a man tries to discover what he feels for you or what he wants to do with you. This is the stage where if its love, he starts developing some sorta emotional attachment to you which in no time blossoms into love, while if he is just sexually interested he acts so obvious that it isn’t hard for you to tell that he is infatuated.

After about a month of being in a relationship with a man, you must be able to look out for the signs that tells u what he feels for you, is it love or infatuation? Your inner instinct will tell you.

If a man is infatuated, as a lady, you will be able to tell by accessing how he acts when you are together. Is he always looking forward to ending it in intimacy? Always wanting to ‘get it’ from you? Is that all he looks forward to each time you are together, if yes, the guy is only sexually attracted to you which in most cases is termed infatuation. This though is not the end of the world really as most guys find sexual attraction coming on strong to them before love dose. in essence, a guy sexually attracted to you can turn around and feel deep love for you in the long run. But the fear is that he may just remain infatuated and overtime just like the attraction dies a natural death and he takes off.

Love on the other hand takes a root and grows one day at a time, if a guy is in love with you, each time you are together he feel quite relaxed and always is on the look out for fun and exciting activities u can involve yourselves while you are together. He is more interested in things that affects and matters to you and how they affect you. Love they say lights up a man so much so that you really will not have to ask if he loves or loves you not.


Love and reality
Ms emotions preaches love and cant help being happy when she sees those that are genuinely in love however, reality/practicality should be the watch word when it comes to love and relationships

Sometimes we are blinded by the feeling explained above that we tend to make hasty decisions,

You want so much to be in a relationship that you don’t mind giving up your source of livelihood to be with your significant other even when you don’t have other means of survival, how practical is this? is he or she able to sustain you in the long run?

You so much want to be in a relationship with the one you claim to love that you don’t mind being with someone you know quite alright you can’t have a future together but u did rather go on hoping a miracle happens. how real are u?

You are with perhaps a man you cloth and feed with no future prospects yet you hang on so as to be in a relationship, is this practical? How long do u hope to go on with this?

A guy or a gal is presently enjoying some benefits being with you, its obvious these benefits might cease when they no longer are with u and you ask them, do u love me? Of course yes! What else do u expect? Cut off the benefits and you definitely will get the true answer.

Conclusion

All am tryin to say here is that you guard your love and always be practical in loving, take your time so that when you finally are in love it will be worth the wait.

Cheers

...on love!!! Eventually, after all the heartaches, et al; love blossoms out full grown (& timeless).

But then, how is love found? No, love is never found.....it is consciously invested in to enable it grow.

You know, you just helped me put the pieces together with this guy iv been trying to figure out. He is always trying to end every visit with physical intimacy. I guess we can safely say he was just infatuated, innit?!
But as much as loving practically is sound advice: when we are in love, reason goes out the window, unfortunately.

Rinsola said...

Conclusion was on point. "Always be practical in loving" quite a journey though. Happy new month missy

Jay said...

Isn't that the truth...you're so right, one should not confuse love with infatuation...the two are not really the same.

Love this line " Love on the other hand takes a root and grows one day at a time".

I use to confuse the two...but didn't i learn the hard way.

princesa said...

I think love can grow out of infatuation.

Love can grow out of infatuation or lust...The best is when it grows from friendship...

intersting post ms emmotions

i should call myself mr emotions lol

i preach that you should withstand the sex for at least 4 to 6 months to see if the person really likes you

if they are too pushy about sex then you might want to leave them alone

but if they hang in their with you and respect your need for time then it might be the start of something great

thanx emmotions

we really have to hook up one day so we can show the blogworld how to work it out lol

ps: i have a sample of my audiobook on my blog

you should check it out and tell me what you think
