Cupids Dating Blog

So after one month of dating, I find myself accidentally in love and I'm terrified to come out and tell her for fear that the feeling isn't reciprocated. However, I get the distinct impression she feels the same way. It's hard to pinpoint the moment I realized it. It might have been last Saturday morning when I woke up next to her while she was still sleeping and I found her absolutely gorgeous. She took my breath away and given we were connecting on such an emotional level over the past couple of weeks, I was sure she was the one.

I still am, so I contacted my dad, a guy I can always count on for good advice. He said quite bluntly: "Everlasting love doesn't exist." He doesn't claim to know all about love and considering he's on his third marriage, maybe he's not the best guy to go to if you want sound advice on building relationships. However, I had to inquire further and he seemed quite confident when he said that the most important thing to remember is that love will fade and what you have to keep in mind is whether you like the girl. After all, when the intense love is gone, you essentially have to be best friends.

Obviously I was disappointed with his answer, even though it really did make a lot of sense. I took to reading some books on relationships and marriage to get a better - if slightly less biased - opinion on the subject. It turns out my dad could have written his own book on the subject because most "experts" said the exact same thing he did! Now I have no other choice but to ask all those out there if there is such a thing as everlasting love or if it's just a pipe dream for romantics such as myself.
