Are you in love? Or let’s just say maybe one day in the near future you will be in love, or someone you know may end up in love.

Love can have multiple meanings; a feeling, an action or great interest or pleasure in something. As well as an intense feeling of affection or deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. In the same way, the feelings can be mutual in regards to someone. At times we think we are in love with someone and we are not. But sometimes we find out at the end of the relationship that it was never love.

Love is not all about spending lots of money and buying expensive gifts for someone. If you think it is, you might end up broke or brokenhearted! It’s about honesty, trust, memories, affection, and simply getting to one another etc. A good date doesn’t have to bust your wallet. How about going on long walks by the lake, watching the sunset together, cooking a nice meal for one another, or going out for lunch? In the same way, taking a trip to the library, and getting ice cream together can help you simply get to know each other. Additionally, studying together would also make an awesome date!

In due time, once you get to know the other person, love will grow on its own. By all means, don’t rush it, because if it’s meant to be and you both put in the work, it will all come together for the better..

On the whole, friendship always works best before a relationship. You have the opportunity to get to know each other without the pressures of a relationship. Have fun for the time being and always remember love doesn’t cost a dime–
