It’s the question of the millennium. 

Why is the grass always greener on the other side, we’re never happy with what we have, or we’re always looking for something more? Will we ever be satisfied with our lives? Are we always going to settle? 

I know other people can and must be content with their significant other, but in my own life I keep thinking there has to be more. It might be because I watched too many Disney happily ever afters as a child, or that I sincerely believe in real love. or maybe it’s because I’m only 22. Sometimes I can sound like a pessimistic woman who hates boys and relationships, but the truth is, I’m just afraid that those happily ever afters are just a fantasy. 

Real love is hard to find and don’t act like we are all not looking for it. This world is obsessed with love and all that comes with it. Just look at Valentines Day. Sharing our life with someone who makes us laugh, cry, smile and frown is probably the most exiting thing we have to look forward to. 

When I was a kid I looked at my parents for my first up close look at what love was like. Turns out fighting, silence, and ignoring each other was love for them. As I grew up and had my first kiss, boyfriend, “man on the moon” and so on … I took every hard earned lesson along with me. 

From the first boy to the twenty third, they all have had different personalities  and qualities that i either admired or hated. I never seemed to find someone who had it all. To this day I’m still wondering will I ever be happy? I have come across complete jerks and 100% gentlemen and it just wasn’t there. 

What, you might ask, was I looking for? I had a great guy, loyal, honest, and treated me right, but I just couldn’t find it in me to feel excited to see him. I just “lost my love.” I keep wondering was it love in the first place? What is love and how do you know when it’s real. 

Well, that’s something I haven’t even come close to figuring out yet. All I can do is trust in my self and have faith that there is more out there and as for me, I just won’t settle. OK, OK, maybe when I’m 35 and the clock is ticking, but for now I will be happy with what I have. 

I’ll be happy with graduating college, having a wonderful family and friends, and for the first time in my life, happy just being me, single and alone. Once I accepted that I didn’t need a man to survive, I realized a whole new me, and that’s worth all the happily ever afters in the world.

Internet is a wide world we can find anything in it, we find immediate answers to our burning questions we do our shopping on-line we talk to our friends and we send our Email the cyber way, so why not find our true love on-line?

Cyber dating and other dating site are on the rise for the last couple of years , what is great about meeting people on-line is that you do it from the comfort of your own home that make you feel more relaxed and comfortable and helps you to contact to that other person (that might be your true love) in a better way. 

On the blog lovers lawn there is a post about on-line dating sites specially a site called Afineromance.com.

There are more than thousands of Internet dating sites available on the web, but this is one dating portal, which truly stands out. Firstly, it entertains only genuine members, who are seriously looking for a meaningful relationship. The site is extremely user friendly and allows the user to view profiles of potential mates, interact with them and post information about oneself. The best thing about the site is that one need not worry that the personal details would be leaked out.

You can read the full review on that dating site in the post Find Love -The Cyber Way .

I heard it several times before “love has no boundaries”, it is not constrained to age or looks or even the same taste and common issues. A real love connection is not something that we can measure or judge, sometimes people that on first look don’t seem compatible are the couples that lasts for years.

On the blog -What’s love got to do with it? she writes about her friend that old her about her strange love life, she hoked up with a guy that they don’t have much in common but when they are together they feel kike they can read each other thoughts.

Does it really matter to have the same taste  when you’re just on the same wavelength? My friend told me that when she met him for the first time, they had a bit of conversation about a common topic, and they shrugged and came to the same conclusion at the same time that both surprised them. Shortly after, they began dating.

So what do you think? is it really necessary to have common issues ?

Divorce is a traumatic experience for millions of families, and Miramax hopes to heal their pain through the gift of very twisted laughter. The studio is developing a satirical comedy A.C.O.D. (Adult Children of Divorce), the story of a grown man still caught in the crossfire of his parents, 15-year-old divorce.

Another film that came out this year on that same matter is “Four Christmases”- Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn play Kate and Brad, who try to avoid their families around the holidays — but this year is different. Both of them have divorced parents, and they’re forced to visit all four of their families for Christmas.

The screenwriters themselves joked about their script, “We’re very glad to get the validation from Miramax, especially since we’ve been working on the script longer than any of our parents were married.”

From time to time even a good relationship get tested on our ability to stand up and support our loved ones at a 100%.

It is not easy to give up everything you are and everything you do just to support your partners dream without even knowing if it will pay off. That love and support is necessary they need to know that they are not alone and that we have their back in order to succeed.

Shonnie writes in her blog about the time when her husband got a special opportunity to work for the Barack Obama’s campaign as a field organizer and that meant that he wont be home for a period of 3-month in that time she wrote the lessons the she learned about offering her love and support at 100%

Though your spouse may not be lining up to work for a presidential campaign or planning to jet off on some foreign medical mission, chances are the two of you have everyday occasions to give your 100% love and encouragement to one another. If you’ve been giving at less than your full potential, take the opportunity to go full out the next chance you get. It might feel scary and it may even seem a bit crazy…but I’m confident that you’ll be a great giver and the results will be better than you think they will be.
