There are hard things in life. That is fact that you cannot get around. But in my few years of living life I have come to discover that dating is a hard one. While some people may say that I do not have enough experience, because I have only had one girlfriend, I would disagree with them. I have been dating Wanda (fake name just to make this easier :D) for almost two years now and things have been great. We are a typical couple, we don't do anything extreme, and we are just experimenting while in high school. In our relationship we have come to the point where we don't know what to do. We don't know how we feel about each other, and for the first time breaking up has crossed both of our minds. It has been a long time, but I would like to say that we have not told each other "I love you". This is definitely not common I have come to discover. Just earlier this month I came to discover that my best friend was made fun of because he took three months to tell his girlfriend that. Point being, we haven't even said "I love you" to each other and now while considering a break up it is a really difficult decision.
Now as a reader you are probably thinking, "Why is this important I don't want to hear his sob story". Well I am going to try and make this relevant to America. In our American society people rush into love trying to find something that makes them happy. We have prostitutes so people can have instant gratification, and these aren't only for slimy low people. Governors and politicians take part as well. Love is patient, if you want to find the right person save your love. Don't settle for instant temporary gratification because there is instant permanent gratification down the road.
"I love you"
What does it really mean?
