Like that 80s song…

Really, do we know what love is?

At some point in our lives, our nosy relatives and friends freely give away advice. Some to tell us who we’re right with. Sex and the City taught us one way—to fight for our own. And all the other chick flicks. Just wait and he will come.

But it’s not that. I have sat through my friend’s breakups. Listened to their troubles. I have heard of happiness and…the boredom. And the fleetingness of pickiness. The string of dates that end up in an awkward goodbye. And to some, it becomes a free dinner on a Saturday night.

“He annoys me,” a friend told me recently. Then she added, “He’s too green. How can I be with someone who doesn’t know what love is?”

But there are so many times we encounter what if? and could have. And that’s why some start looking the other way. “Until something better comes along” or as Joe finely put it “Until something comes along.”

There is no such thing as fate. If there was, we wouldn’t keep moving away. We wouldn’t make decisions based on pickiness. We would have stayed because it was meant to be. It’s like success. Being at the right place at the right time. And the right person.
