6 Common Mistakes Made by Young People In Love

I understand what it’s like to be young and in love — so much passion, so much energy! People tell you at that age that love is fleeting, but there's a world of difference between infatuation and love, and love is forever. But take it from me, a guy who was in love many times as a young person… there are mistakes you can avoid! Owning too many swords I know, I know, people see something like "owning too many swords? That's not possible!" Well, I have bad news for you; times have changed, and what was once a sign of your gladiatorial acumen and preparedness for an all-out castle siege is now more of an indicator that you're likely you are to seriously injure yourself while making videos of pumpkins getting chopped up. Park in their driveway and flash your high beams into their living room window all night I understand the thinking behind flashing your high beams into someone's home for hours at a time — you want them to know they're a shining light in your life. However, those are not necessarily the optics being conveyed. In fact, some people find it downright UNSETTLING to have high beams flashed into their home at all hours of the night. I know, I know... the times have changed! Being not young, and being in love with someone VERY young I know you might think that being young at heart is enough, but please know it is both illegal and morally wrong to date a very young person if you are old in the eyes of the government. Carving the object of your affection's name into the skin of the kidnapped US president Kidnapping the US President is, on its own, a serious no no. But carving the name of your lover into their skin? Come on, I'm sure the person you love would appreciate it a lot, but that's what big oak trees are for! Growing old and dying A great way to become practical and pragmatic about love is to get old, and get wise and have learned a bunch of lessons. That'll really kill the ol' romance. Pretend to have committed suicide, then actually commit suicide when you discover they committed suicide to be with you This is a mistake as old as time — you want to escape your oppressive family, which is feuding with your significant other's family, so you two come up with the obvious solution: fake your own death by poisoning. But you've forgotten the key detail, which is to tell your partner that your death will be FAKE. Then they find out you're dead and poison themselves to be with you. Then you wake up, see they're dead, and poison yourself but for real this time. It was all so avoidable if you two had just been able to communicate! ... Come to think of it, maybe this one should have been "Communication". You. Are. Welcome. Contributor: Will WeldonView Count: 2Featured: Weekly View Count: 2Content Tag: mistakeslovescrew-ups
