Lucia's Lessons of Love

When someone says they don't want a relationship, they're leaving out two little words: with you. They're not interested in you for the long term so they will use many excuses, including having been badly hurt in the past, not being over their ex or not wanting to be in a relationship. If someone is interested in you, they will rarely say, "I don't want a relationship" because they know they'd be crazy to risk losing you. Is it true absence makes the heart grow fonder? That depends. If the other person has deep feelings for you, then yes, it's true. On the other hand, it's "Out of sight, out of mind" if you're talking about someone you've just met or the interest is casual. Comte de Bussy-Rabnutin said it best with: Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great. What does "friends with benefits" mean? It means that you behave as a couple but without the benefit of monogamy and commitment. It should actually be called "friends without benefits" since this situation usually only "benefits" the man. Whether they are willing to acknowledge it or not, women aren't wired to have sex without feelings; they generally want it to mean something.

One it's gone, it's gone. Don't waste it on people who don't make your life better. When you decide to play big, you will no longer be interested in people that play small. Author M. Somerset Maugham said it best with, "It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very
