love is a mysterious emotion that is sparked by several things... sometimes by attractiveness..... sometimes by emotional conection and usually from a kiss with a person where your hormones are released into your body by ur hypothalymis... it increases are happiness and we feel good... the problem is have u ever realized that love is a little more hurtful then this happy sensation... think about it... how many times have u had a crush or loved some 1 and got hurt by rejection or simply just no love back? possibly about 20% of cases involving love gives ppl happiness... so that 80% is just nothing but a big negative... so love isn't so fabulous... just think... i kno right now at least some of u reading this likes some1 but ur to afraid of hearing the rejection so technically ppl are afraid to loose that feeling about that person becuz they have experienced that hurtful feeling of rejection... at first u realize how great a person is... u get attached or just think what if... then u begin to obsess about that person and eventually ask or proposition that person if he or she feels the same... if yes ur hapiness continues... if no...that person feels rejected gets angry sad and becomes miserable all at once... its like u died a little from just 1 feeling being lost... eventually u'll get over it but as u c... love is a very serious emotion that can seriously affect ur life... it is great and painful feeling that can't be dodged... what i'm trying to say is several things... 1... please just simply say to the person u like... i like u so this emotion doesn't build up and hurt u worse.... 2.... don't use that word to much don't say u love some 1 till u actually feel that u'd sacrafice for that person's hapiness.... 3.... whatever u do.... if some 1 likes u don't lie to them just be straight 4ward to the person who likes u of how u feel about them more u lie the more happy they feel and the more they can get hurt...
