"Where There's Smoke..."

Do women just want to be rescued? Do women just want a man to keep them from loneliness? Of course. No one likes feeling alone. But, do women have to be rescued by a "Prince Charming"? (Or "Princess Charming" if you go that way) Women can be 'rescued' by a friend instead of a lover. The truth is, all a woman needs in this kind of 'rescue' is a good friend.

Most men like rescuing women from loneliness. It makes them feel like the dominant sex while women are weak beings who depend on the men for everything. The truth is, women only need men for sex, and sometimes women like other woman instead! Men, us women don't need you for anything other than reproduction. You guys are just willing to do stuff for us so we let you.

Some men are turned off by an independent woman, believe me, it happened to me. I fell for a guy. He liked me too, when I was a weak, self-conscious girl who depended on people, and he was more than happy to be that person. But, thanks to some amazing friends, I grew out of my shell and became this strong, confident, independent girl who didn't need him. I still loved him, but because I was so independent, he was afraid I would reject him, if not now then eventually. And guys don't like being rejected. It hurts their 'manly-man pride'.
So the answer is, yes. A woman wants to be rescued, but it could be by a lover or a friend or a family member. Men just like to be the hero because they are proud human beings. But, remember this girls. You don't need to depend on a guy. We can do anything a guy can, and we only need them for reproduction. And if we found a way around that, we would kick those guys to the curb. Am I right?

"The Great Fight!"

At the end of yet another failed relationship, one might wonder, what is it all worth? Why do we have to go through so many failed relationships, usually, to find true love? Wouldn't it be easier to just find the love of your life the first time and avoid all the heartbreak and mistakes? But, don't we learn from our mistakes? If we didn't have trial and error, then we might not see who is really our true love. We won't be able to compare the love of our life to our exes, so we would never truly see how good the person is for us. 

Could a certain amount of failed relationships make us lose hope? Make someone too scared to try again for the one when their expecting the relationship to crash and burn like always? With their heart broken so many times, could it be too fragile to let them try again, forbidding a person from finding true love? A person's heart can only be broken so many times before it starts to fail. A person can only stand so much heartbreak before giving up and shutting down. Us humans are not  emotionally deprived immortals. We need love to thrive. We need love to survive.

Heartbreak can have a major affect on a person. A person can lose self-esteem and faith in not only their relationships, but themselves. With each heartbreak, a person falls further and further into depression. Soon enough, said person will give up on dating and just might end up living alone in a house full of every species of cat known to man (or woman). But what would have happened if the person gave dating one last chance, and found someone who could heal his/her heart instead of breaking it, but (s)he didn't. Then (s)he would have missed out on a happy life.

These questions are ones only you can answer. Are you going to risk another heartbreak by trying again? Or are you going to risk missing out on a great life by giving up? You decide. 

"Luck Be An Old Lady!"

If we're aware that the house always wins, why should one, gamble? Individuals choose entering a relationship for the precise same reasons, they travel on to casinos, in hopes to, "Hit The Jackpot". However, I'm fully aware, that in casinos, we typically end up broke and/or alone. If we're aware, that the  house always wins, why should one, or why would one gamble? Why should one risk his/her heart if they can, and probably will, get hurt in the end? But, isn't every relationship a risk? Something that could end at any absolutely moment, for any reason? The reason why we risk our hearts is because we have hope. Hope that we will win and be rich, whether the riches are money or they're love.

There's an old, yet insightful quote which implicated, "If an individual can maintain an open heart, love, will always find its way, in." However, I comprehend that, "Love", is not just, the only thing, that will enter one's heart. I'm entirely aware, of all the damaging emotions, that can unexpectedly and abruptly, enter, causing immediate and crucial despair. Which, corresponding with my casino theory, can absolutely leave an individual, quite devastated and all alone. Relationships, I have reason to believe, are theoretically just a gamble just in and of themselves. I'm entirely aware, there will be moments filled with temporary despair and heartache. I know there will be, for each any every one of us all. But, I firmly believe, that if you remain determine and devoted to obtaining love, the obtainment of love is what you'll have. I'm a rather firm believer in if you keep trying, possibilities are endless, and I'm sure, we can all, "Hit The Jackpot".

"All Or Nothing?"

Everyone, especially women, want it all in a relationship. But what actually defines having it all? When lots of money and luxuries are involved? When there is amazing sex? Or maybe, just maybe, having it all means that you're with the person who you love and who loves you. The definition is entirely up to you. What do you you do when you can't have it all in a relationship? Do you take what you have, or wait for the perfect relationship? But, what would you do if you break it off with someone perfect for you, but you didn't realize it? Well, it's up to you. Are you willing to risk ruining an almost perfect relationship for an even better one? Well, it's up to you. Are you really so picky you need to have it all?

"The One?"

Almost everyone wants to find "The One". But, when will the search for "The One" be done? More importantly, how do you know someone is "The One"? When they make your heart flutter like a butterfly whenever they touch you? When the knowledge of knowing they're happy, automatically makes you happy? Or maybe the idea of him/her spending the rest of his/her life with someone else put knots in your stomach? The answer to the question is, the search for "The One" is over when you find "The One". But, "The One" is the person who makes you feel like the most important person in his/her life. "The One" is the person who makes you the happiest you've ever been, all the time. "The One" is the person who makes it impossible to for anyone to love you anymore, but does anyway. That's when you know who "The One" is. 

"Baby, Talk Is Cheap!"

In a relationship, do actions speak louder than words? Sure someone can say (s)he love you, but words are meaningless unless they show you (s)he love you. Would it matter if someone said they love you if they didn't show it. Loving hugs and gentle kisses, things that will comfort you, things that prove the words that (s)he says. Have you ever heard of the saying, "a pictures worth a thousand words"? Well, life and love are a moving picture, a movie without a script. And if a person does not show their love for you, then they don't actually love you. Remember that for the future.
