STEPS FOR LOVE

First of all you
should know you like
someone or not.
watch. see if the one
you are interested in is
engaged with someone
else, if yes then wait till
they break up or leave
him, if not then see he/
she too likes you or not.
Say it.
When
yousay
the
words
"I Love You", they
should carry with them
the desire toshow
someone that you love
them, not what you
simply want to feel.
When you say it, make
sure you really mean it
and are willing to do
anything for that special
person.
Empathize. Put yourself
in someone else's
shoes. Rather than
impose your own
expectations or attempt
to control them,to
understand how they
feel, where they come
from, and who they are.
Realize how they could
also love you back just
as well.
Love unconditionally. If
you cannot love another
person without
attaching stipulations,
then it is not love at all,
but deep-seated
opportunism (one who
makes the most of an
advantage, often
unmindful of others). If
your interest is not in
the other person as
such, but rather in how
that person can
enhance your
experience of life, then
it is not unconditional.
If you have no intention
of improving that
person’s life, or
allowing that person to
be themselves and
accepting them as they
are, and not who you
want them to be, then
you are not striving to
love them
unconditionally.
Expect nothing in
return. That doesn't
mean you should allow
someone to mistreat or
undervalue you. It
means that giving love
does not guarantee
receiving love. Try
loving just for the sake
of love. Realize that
someone may have a
different way of
showing his or her love
for you; do not expect
to be loved back in
exactly the same way.
Realize
it can
be lost.
If you
realize
that
you can lose the one
you love, then you have
a greaterappreciation
of what you have. Think
how lucky you are to
have someone to love.
Don't make an idol of
the person you love.
This will place them
under undue pressure
and will likely result in
you losing them.
Never stop loving. Even
if you have been hurt
before you should not
stop giving love.
