For the record, no matter how similar a person is to you, you are going to argue. The more different you are from someone, the more you are going to argue, and even the best relationships can't survive arguing and yelling daily for years. Frankly, the women I tend to date are either me in female form (promiscuous, smart, arrogant, argumentative, etc.) or the complete opposite of me (kind, shy, soft spoken, emotional, etc.), but I know that the best suit for me rests in the middle. Albeit, I *love* dating a girl like me, angry sex is the best sex.
Another thing to remember is that back in the day when individuals got married they didn't have all this media bullshit telling you what love is and how to place a value on love. When people got married 50 years ago they had their own feelings and their own self to own up to, not the media. The reason so many marriages fail in today's society is because of the media, because of the false claims and the ideas implemented in today's society about what love *should* be and not what love is. People getting married far more often than not don't do it because they love one another, they do it because it seems logical at the time, and logical decisions made on the fly are rarely accurate. Most people get married because the girl got knocked up, or because they have been dating x amount of years, or because of numerous other false indiciations of love. Dating someone for 5 years doesn't mean anything more than that you can put up with them. Live with them a year and see how that goes. I love my best friend in RL, hes totally awesome, but if were together more than a week we both are about ready to rip eachothers heads off. I can tolerate a woman bitching at me for a few months if we don't live together, but if we're living together the entire situation changes.
IMO when your dating someone the other person just shows you what you want to see, but once you get married they will get tired of wearing the mask and will see what they are really like. and btw im only 15 so yea... i dont know what i will do in the future, or who i will marry, etc... just my views of this topic at how they appear to me at this age.
You're not allowed to say something like that unless you are actually married. You are 15 and apparently have never had a girlfriend. Stop trying to be profound.
if you can read you would have seen that i stated that is my opinion at this age. i don't need to be married to have an opinion
Your views will likely change drastically in the course of the next 1-3 years. I haven't put up my input yet... but I believe there's more than one kind of "love" (platonic not included). There's idealistic and realistic love. Idealistic: The intermingling of feelings; you want to see the other person happy at whatever the cost. This would mean even if you weren't the one to be able to provide that for them. You can see the problem with that. It's usaully the case with the "hopeless romantic." Realistic: Has been discussed a lot already.
² Heck, even start out by going on holidays with each other. A lot of people tend to find out things they don't like about each other in as litttle as a week already. But on the matter of the topic, I do believe in true love merely for the fact that I seem to have found it. I've been together with my girlfriend for over 4 years and a half and we simply love each other. I know what it is to live with her since I practically live there. I'm always there during the weekends and on school college holidays and stuff I just live there as well. Also, don't mix up love with being in love since they are very different things. When you've been together for quite a while, you're no longer in love, you don't feel the need to hold hands constantly or any of that early-stage-togetherness-munbo-jumbo. You simply appreaciate the person for who she/he is and you like having them around and well, you just love them
