You dig him
You don’t seem to be with guys just because you’re chasing the feeling of love. Although you might enjoy how love makes you feel  – the racing heart, the anxiety before a date – you don’t make that the focus of your relationship. You know that those feelings mean nothing if you’re not really into the guy you’re with. What strikes you about a guy is his personality and if there’s something real that you can build on. This is good ‘cause it means that you won’t waste your time with someone who doesn’t live up to your standards.

A little love swept
Yes, you like falling in love – who doesn’t? But just make sure that you don’t let that go to your head at times, dear. A good connection is great, as is feeling butterflies ‘cause someone likes you, but don’t let that blind you from the reality of the situation. Sometimes that’s just not enough to build a relationship on. Take stock of the guy you’re dating and honestly figure out what you really think of him before you take things further.

You love love!
You love being in love. Maybe it makes you feel happier than you usually feel or it just seems to rush in and make your days feel brighter and more positive. Perhaps you even like love so much because of how it changes you – it might make you a nicer person, for instance. Although this is cool because love really is grand, if you are only with someone because you’re after that feeling, then that starts to complicate things. Know that you can score the loved-up feeling without having to date anyone. You can just feel it when you look at an awesome sunset or when you hear your favourite song. If you love yourself and your love, you will achieve that feeling often – and you won’t have to depend on a guy for that. Also, when you do meet a great guy, you’ll then be able to enjoy him for what he’s worth. Love will really be meaningful then.
