Puppy Love

Puppy love is an informal term for feelings of love, particularly between young people during adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the adoring, worshipful affection that may be felt by a puppy. The term is often used in a derogatory fashion, describing emotions which are shallow and transientin comparison to other forms of love such as romantic love.

Puppy love, also commonly known as a "crush", can also describe the love or lust of a child or adolescent for an adult. For example, a student being attracted to his or her teacher could be considered puppy love. In this case, the term relates an infatuation which is not reciprocated. The term may meet with resistance from some people as patronising and belittling of genuine emotion. - wikipedia

Funny thing that Kids Views Love and Romance in a different way, these are some of their views that i've seen as i browse the net... :)

On what falling in love is like:
"If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long." (Leo, 7)

Concerning why love happens between two particular people:
"No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are so popular." (Jan, 9)

"I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful." (Harlen, 8)

When is it okay to kiss someone?
"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." (Jim, 10)

"Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." (Kally, 9)

Concerning why lovers often hold hands:
"They want to make sure their rings don't fall off because they paid good money for them." (Dave, 8)

Being Friends with your EX

i've been browsing the net and founded some tips on how to be friends with your ex. Making your ex as a friends is hard especially if you had a terrible break up.

Be Patient

All changes in life require time. It can be very hard to get over the anger and trauma and upset of a breakup. Don't expect it to happen right away even if you both want to be friends. Give yourself some healing time first.

Going out with Ex

I went out with my Ex after 6 months,and she told me stories of "friends",that stayed over at her new place.Guy friends.And the dates they had.It just hurt me more.I found out(too late) that she's not breaking my heart any more I'm doing it myself by trying to stay friends.I knew all along that I wanted more than that,but even her telling me she didn't love me like that didn't stop me from trying.

It may never happen

sometimes you may not become friends again. he might learn to get over it except the fact he may fall in love with a differnt girl and you might be just a bug on the windshield of his life. dont let this get you down flirt with other guys and make sure he sees if hes going to hurt you dont let him see it your allowed to flirt but remember he can to I know this is very disapointment but remember there are other guys.

Give it time

I have been able to be great friends with some of my exs. We're even able to share some stories and experiences that happened after our break up. This didn't happen overnight, it took at least 1 yr before we could start talking like this and it was even rough once we reconnected. But if the desire to remain friends is there, then this is possible. Now my exs are the some of the best relationship advisers I have since they know exactly how I am.

Don't Compare Past to Now

All relationships change over time. You grow, you mature. Don't compare what you had before with what you had now. It's like comparing elementary school with high school. They're simply different things. Find joys in what you have now.

How's My Valentines

How's my valentines? what do you expect? I have a cold Valentines of course, I'm a little envious to couples having dates and have gifts for each other... There's a little part of me hating somebody that greets me a happy valentines day. It's valentines day but it's not happy in my part.. :p No, I don't want to be rude...It's still a happy valentines day for me even if I don't have a partner anymore. I'm lucky that I have good friends and family.. I love them and they love me too... It's still a happy valentines to me.. :)

How Can I Dream?

We used to have dreams together, what could be our plans for the future? what's our dream house like? I'm so excited and hoping that time will go straightforward on future when we are living together at last. We used to plan on putting up a big garden, a pond, we both do want that. He's good in designs, one thing that makes me excited. I know our future house would be so nice if he's the one to organize it. I admire him for his talents, not everyone knows it. He can do so many things just like me. He's really my type of guy, a good person, kind heart, good in playing guitar, a talented person, wise and what can i say more??? I don't know now.... Now that we can't be together again, how could i dream like this? I don' feel like dreaming anymore. I just feel sad when i do. I decided to just go on with my life. and whatever happens.. it just happens. I used to dream when we are still together, but now that we broke up, how could i possibly dream?

It's not yet Over

I cried last night coz' I thought it was over.. thought that I'm ok and was able to accept the things that happened.. but still.. its not over yet... We're friends now but it's hurting me still.. I don't want to hope anymore... I just want my heart to fully accept that it was over... oh please heal, my wounded heart, be healed and hurt no more... :(
