When will I know I’m in love? I know that there are not a lot of people out there that actually take the term love seriously. You know the type, the kind of people that throw the term out like a worm on a hook waiting for a bite in return. The type that hold hands just to show everyone they are together and constantly are displaying public displays of affection. Please!! Get a life. This may be my opinion of puppy-dog love now, but it will change lovebirds.
I think that eventually this rhinoceros will fall for some girl too. My difference is I’m not going to fall for someone at first sight or because I need someone to add excitement to my life. Love for me is going to be final and will end my rock star party life.
Before I drop the “L bomb”, I want to make sure that the girl is the one I will be with forever. As big of a pig as I can be, I still have some standards. I’m not going to use the term “love” as a passport into a girl’s pants. That’s just evil.
You have your single life to see what kinds of girls are out there and before you settle down check out the variety. Blonde, brunette, red head, tall, short, sweet, obnoxious, thin, pleasingly plump, every girl is different so see what you like. Don’t wait until marriage to realize you want something else. You should be serious about someone you love and if you do cheat on your wife or kids, you should be covered with frosting and served to Rosie O’Donnell. I don’t need to say what would happen then, cause it’s ugly.
When I am in love you will know. I won’t be donning any more saran wrap or tin foil bikinis. I won’t party as much and maybe I’ll give up some of the pastimes that make me happy. After all, what is important is that the two of you are willing to sacrifice for each other. If that means giving up midget tossing for a dream girl who will be good to me and our kids, it’s worth it.
Happy Valentines Day boys and girls. Have fun now because eventually, you will be a dorky hand holder but for the right reason: Love.
SHE Said…
Do you find yourself dreamy eyed over a certain somebody? Do you doodle little hearts in your notebook? Are you excited about (ugh!) Valentine’s Day? Hmm, yeah, you’re probably in love or on the brink of.
When you completely abandon your former ‘love sucks’ lifestyle, you know you’re in love. Going out and getting loaded, just hoping to bump into some crush, isn’t on your list of priorities. You’re probably not the wild and crazy kid you use to be, because you’re really only looking for special attention from one person in particular.
And speaking of going out, it’s not as fun because sometimes you’d feel perfectly happy staying in and watching some cheesy chick flick like “Bed of Roses” just because it reminds you of him. Your friends get bored with you because you’re not the party girl they once knew. And if your man is not out with you, you can’t wait to go home and hear his voice on the other end of the phone.
You know you’re in love when you’ll bring up his name every chance you get, incorporating him into every conversation. Trying to make it feel like he’s right there with you, no matter how annoying it is to the listener.
One of the best ways I know I’m in love is when after weeks, months, years or however long we’ve been together, I still get a little light headed when he leans in and kisses me.
I think when you’re in love, you will unconsciously alter your lifestyle to include another person in it. The other person doesn’t need to be perfect and neither do you, you both love each other without any conditions or concern. You basically mutate into this person you never wanted to be, but the funny part is, you don’t mind it at all.
The more I think about it, I guess you know you’re in love when no matter how hard you try to explain, no one will ever understand what you mean. Basically because falling in love is personal between you and him.
So, Happy Valentine’s Day. To the singles, party and have fun. To the couples, be smoochy and gross… in private. And for me, I’m hoping for a John Cusack sappy kind of day, how embarrassing!
