3 Things I Wish I Knew About Love
There will be people who want to take advantage of you
Not just taking advantage of you sexually, but mentally and emotionally as well. Be careful of who you meet. Be mindful of the possible red flags. You want someone who you can trust, and grow with. You don’t want just a one night stand. You want a relationship that helps you grow and be a better person as the days goes by. There are many men who wants to take advantage of you, and you will learn from the negative and bad experiences with that. Be careful of guys especially who shower you with expensive gifts, they have ulterior motives if they do that.
2. Love will hurt, as time goes by
Yes, the beginning of the relationship seems like rainbow and butterflies. But as you get to know each other better, there will be fights and flaws that you pick up with the other person. Will you compromise to make the relationship work? How much are you ready to compromise? The more you know the person, the more things you realise you don’t like about the other person. Do you know what you want from the other person and relationship? You wish there was an easy answer to everything, but there isn’t.
3. Be ready to be challenged emotionally and mentally
As you know the other person more, they will challenge you emotionally and mentally. They may be jealous of you having “guy” friends and don’t want you to have any. They may comment how you dress and how you present yourself through fashion. They may comment on how you should use your money and time. Be careful of being at risk of being in a domestic violent relationship. And domestic violent relationship doesn’t mean just being hurt physically and sexually. It could mean the other person controls how you spend your money, and how you use your time. Please, Suzanne. You are still young, and you have so much to learn from every experience.
