8 Reasons Why Giving Up On Love Is Not The Solution

Love can be great but in many cases, it can suck too. REALLY suck! Forget all of those fairytale movies about how the guy comes swooping in and rescues his damsel in distress. They fall madly in love and live happily ever after as soon as they defeat those bad guys. The fact that this rarely happens causes many people to give up on love altogether.

The truth is that love is NOT that simple. Behind all the butterflies and fairy tales, love can sometimes create an ugly, heartbreaking side.

Nobody ever explained that part of love to you, so we want to make sure that you’re well informed before diving into a relationship, or even giving up on love!

# You might feel it sometimes, but you’re not alone

In fact, there could be a very attractive, kind, and sweet person out there who’s perfect for you and who is feeling the same way you are: that love sucks and they should just give it up.

There are thousands of people every day crying over buckets of melting ice cream, playing breakup songs on repeat, and swearing off love for good because they just can’t seem to get it right. You’re not the only one feeling this way.

# Love doesn’t happen right away

Contrary to what all those damn romantic comedies may have you believe, love doesn’t happen in a week.

In fact, it can take a LONG time for you to find someone to love. But just because it doesn’t happen the second you want it to doesn’t mean it will never happen.

# You might be too picky

How high are your standards? Maybe you should forget about giving up on love and re-evaluate your standards for love. You could just be too picky and may need to be more open-minded about different types of people instead of falling for the exact same type again and again!

It’s also a good idea to avoid having a ‘type’ in the first place. By only dating specific types of people, e.g. blondes, brunettes, tall, short, rich, you’re missing out on a huge selection of other people who could be perfect for you.

# You may not be emotionally mature enough to find love just yet

Everyone matures at a different rate. While some people may end up marrying their elementary school crush, you could be forced to wait until your 30s before really finding the person you’re meant to spend your life with.

Neither option is wrong, we all have different life experiences that shape our view of the world and our emotional maturity. Focus on your journey and don’t compare it to anyone else’s.
