Ran across a great article that we wanted to share with you here on the site. It’s adopted from the book Cupidity: 50 Stupid Things People Do for Love and How to Avoid Them. Here’s an exerpt:
Cupidity: where love and stupid meet. Stupid love—ever experienced it? Ever wished you hadn’t? We believe that stupid is as stupid loves. Think stupid thoughts, and end up with a stupid mind. Do stupid things, and, well, you get the picture. But hey, who hasn’t been stupid? Especially in love.
Most of the time when people experience Cupidity, it’s because of the lies they’ve bought and the truth they’ve not. Stupid lies, like thinking men and women are basically the same. You assume they have the same needs, motivations, and desires, so love should be easy. Just give ’em what you want, and you’ll get back more of the same. But then you do something like ask him what he’s thinking, or you tell her that something she’s worried about is “no big deal.” And your idea of what the opposite sex is thinking unravels right in front of you.
Every failure at love is just a chance for you to learn more about what not to do. The following are two examples.
For her: Loving who you want him to become instead of who he
For him: Loving who she was instead of who she is
