Love?

Assalamualaykum

I got this from my friend's blog.
Actually I could just put a link in the entry, but permission's given by the author for me to paste her post in my blog. (thanks,love!)
Anyhoo, it's a good topic you know.
I wanted to touch on this issue too, but since I haven't had any experience in this 'field' so I thought I could wait.
But heck, just read my friend Nadea's blurb. Correction, wise words.

How soon is too soon?

So your eyes met across the hall. He checked you out several times. You watched his every movement from the corner of your eyes, discreetly, of course. He came towards you, nearer. You pura2 tak notice, shy la konon. He came up to you, saying hi. You smiled and said hi back. He asked for your name, your fon number, said you have the nicest smile he has ever seen and all of the other famous pick up lines. He tore himself away, minutes later, your fon number in hand and promised to call. You and your butterflies in the stomach went home.

So you went out on the first, second and third date and convinced yourself this is not just another fling. Came the third week after the first date he professed his undivided love for you. You felt like you were on top of the world. "I finally met the man of my dreams", you thought. You declare that day as the day you guys become a couple.

You started calling each other the obligatory 'sayang', or 'bee' or whatever trendy terms of endearment you kids use today, a few days
later.

You celebrated your 1-month anniversary. He wrote that he never met anyone as special as you. He declared his undying love from the bottom of his heart and said he could never love anyone else as he did you. You complied.

2 months later, you broke up. No more. Nada. You started calling each other names, bad names. You left him angry emails or voice messages.

Total pre-couple period = 3 weeks
Total undying love period = 3 months
Real time and energy spent = countless

Was it really worth it?
