The Danger of Falling In Love

Love is awesome!

Everyone knows that.

To be in love with a woman (who also loves you back) is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

But there is a problem.

A darker side, if you will.

When you fall in love with a woman, you start to think with your emotions rather than your brain.

And your emotions will trick you, control you, manipulate you, and destroy you.

All the things you've read about here that you know you shouldn't do, you will start doing.

And all the things you've read about here that you know you should do, you will stop doing.

For example:

You will text her all day long...

(And RATIONALIZE it as being a good thing because you two are in love and can't stand to be apart.)

You will buy her presents, take her to expensive restaurants, and spend tons of money on her...

(And RATIONALIZE it as being what classy men do, when they are in love with classy women.)

You will compliment her too much and tell her that you "love" her too soon...

(And RATIONALIZE your pathetic behavior as somehow being what women want to hear.)

You will allow her to disrespect you or act like a brat...

You will act jealous and insecure when she gives attention to other men...

You will quit your hobbies, stop spending time with your friends, and forget about your goals...

Your will rationalize doing almost everything wrong.

And feel good about it all.

Because you are in LOVE...

And your girl is DIFFERENT...

And this relationship is SPECIAL.

And you don't need to follow all those rules you read in those suave mails that are for slimy guys looking for slutty women and sleazy one-night stands and not for mature and intelligent guys like you who are looking for true true love with an amazing wonderful woman like your incredible new girlfriend who is everything that you've ever wanted and that you will love with all your heart and soul until the day you die.

... 

AND THEN YOU WILL GET DUMPED!
