Reading love by the petals

I saw a comic recently that was too funny but wrong in so many ways. It showed two women in an office setting talking, The caption said, "You can find out if he loves you at daisypetals.com."  

Have you ever been in a relationship like this?

I've learned a few things from my relationship successes and failures. One is that I never want to wonder if love exists. A few of my friends who are in successful relationships have one thing right. They communicate. If one of them screws up, they say so in a constructive way. And if they do something well, they say so too. Neither of them wonder where they stand.

I've always had a hard time saying I love you. My family never said it. And I hear others say it as often as people in the friendly southern United States says "have a nice day." I'm not sure that telling someone you love them five times a day has the same meaning after a while. When I say those three words, it's sincere.

Of course, saying the illusive "L word" in a relationship can be scary. It's the turning point. But there's love and there's love. One is a deep caring for another - one like you would have for a friend or anyone close to you. The other is that undying romantic love you have with THE one. I do love one man in my life, but it's the first kind of love. It will be a long time before I'm ready to say the real I love you -- the one that's supposed to be forever.

Please, if you truly love someone, make sure they know.

Love to the single girls,

Addison
