Too Much Of A Good Thing
September 2, 2008
Go without eating for a long time and your stomach groans and hurts with hunger pangs. It’s your bodies way of telling you to put some nutritious food in it. But, what happens when you eat too much chocolate candy to get rid of these hunger pangs? Initially, you get a chocolate high and feel great when the sugar and caffeine hit your system. You buzz with bliss and want chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Half an hour later and you feel differently as you feel dizzy and your stomach hurts with a sharper pain. You no longer feel pleasant but rather uncomfortable.
What happened? Well, while chocolate is a fun dessert, your body needs nutritious food, not nutrient absent chocolate to survive. Unfortunately, many singles who enter dating relationships do the same thing i.e. binge on chocolate on an empty stomach. They approach each new date with hungry hearts, hoping their love pangs will be satiated. Desperate for love, they are anxious to fill the void inside their hearts. A sweet romance seems a likely solution to any man or woman feeling lonely, rejected, or starved for acceptance.
If, you are hungry for love, don’t go looking for romance as you would for a chocolate sugar high. Looking for heady, romantic rapture, don’t make the mistake of thinking any man or woman will fulfil your need for soaring emotions, an exhilarating self-esteem boost and sweet sense of security. Once the euphoria collapses, you will feel disappointed and hurt, when face to face with a wrong partner.
No matter how wonderful a new dating relationship feels, the romantic bliss will eventually wear off. So, before thinking you have found the person you want to spend your life with, take time to become friends, try to find common grounds to build a relationship on, see if you can love the other person warts and all.
Don’t think you can satisfy yourself with sex, a cheap substitute for romance. This is not perfect love; it won’t soothe the ache in your heart. Don’t let this shallow quest leave you empty. Instead, take your dating relationship nice and easy. Try to find out more about each other, look for warmth, companionship and easy camaraderie. Once you have found it, then you will know that you can spend a life time together, as love slowly blossoms like a flower!
Moral of the story is, don’t rush into a relationship on every casual date. Let love take its course, don’t mistake passion for love!
