Someone said if you love something greatly, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours for life.
When it comes to romantic relationships, some individuals become so highly motivated to find someone to love that they begin to violate well known principles of freedom in human interactions. I heard about one young man who was determined to win the affections of a girl who refused to see him. He decided to win her heart through the mail, so he wrote her a love letter every day.
In all, he wrote her more than 700 letters and as a result, she married the postman. Appearing too anxious and too available actually drives other people away rather than attracting them into a committed relationship.
Romantic love is one of those rare human endeavours that succeed the best when it requires the least effort. And remember that respect precedes love, and that relationships are constantly being tested by cautious lovers who like to nibble at the bait before swallowing the hook.
Dr James Dobson
