NEVER CLOSE YOUR DOOR TO LOVE!

Our friend, Carol L. of Manila, is confused.

She is getting pessimistic and fatalistic on failing in love again but is also afraid of not loving and being with someone when the time comes. Her most serious affair had a rather unpleasant end.

To Carol L. and all you girls out there who are in a similar state of mind:

First and foremost, if one guy broke your heart, it doesn’t automatically mean that everybody else will. The fault of one guy is not the fault of the entire male race.

Second, you’ll never really know if a guy is indeed serious with you or not if you won’t give him a chance to prove he’s worthy of your love.

Be it during his courtship or the two of you as sweethearts. You cannot, and should not, judge a guy simply by what he says. It’s one of the two most unfair things you can do to any man, the other being cheating on him.

Remember, action speaks louder than words. But a guy can only show his stuff if you would allow him to.

Third, you deprive yourself of all the opportunities to true happiness when you shut your door to love just because of a heart ache or two.

You won’t have someone to spend your life with. No one to take extra special care of you, or to stand by and help you in times of trials, no shoulder to cry on or no one to cheer you up in moments of sadness and no one to share with or dedicate your success to, or enjoy special occasions of love and joy with like Christmas.

You lose everything. You gain nothing.

There will always be an inexplicable void in whatever you achieve. Deep inside you, it will still mean nothing. And be true to yourselves ladies. Don’t deny, please.

We have all experienced pain in one form or another when it comes to love. It’s not just you, girls.

So unless you’ve gone insane, there’s no reason for you to be alone, and lonely, for the rest of your life just because one man once broke your heart.

It may take some time but your share of happiness will always be there, waiting.

If your love affair didn’t work out, it’s because God knows you won’t be happy with that person and you deserve somebody better.

Believe me, ladies. 30
