When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to
him,
Though the sword hidden among his
pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in
him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he
crucify you. Even as he is for your growth
so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and
caresses your tenderest branches that quiver
in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and
shake them in their clinging to the earth.
•
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto
himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred
fire, that you may become sacred bread for
God’s sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your
heart, and in that knowledge become a
fragment of Life’s heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only
love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover
your nakedness and pass out of love’s
threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you
shall laugh, but not all of your laughter,
and weep, but not all of your tears. •
Love gives naught but itself and takes
naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be
possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say,
“God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am
in the heart of God.”
And think not you can direct the course
of love, for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill
itself.
But if you love and must needs have
desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook
that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own under-
standing of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate
love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with grati-
tude
And then to sleep with a prayer for the
beloved in your heart and a song of praise
upon your lips.

Stop letting your current result control your thinking, attitude, self esteem, belief. Persistence is unspoken and forgotten hero of our society. We're all blinded by 6 minute abs. Think about why it can happen for you and not why it can't. Think about how it will feel once you get what you want. And keep trying to make it happen. Whenever you get a result you don't like don't let it control you. Think about the result you do want and let that control you. Persistence is a forgotten hero of out times. The Natural Lifestyles is a great place for advice. RSD Tyler aka Owen Cook is a great place to get advice. The book "How To Raise Your Own Salary" by Napoleon Hill has a great chapter on Attractive Personality that can help if you make those traits habit.
Personally I always say you should ask yourself what kind of person do you want to be in love with. From there you can work on being the right fit to that person. I've given you practical advice but if you keep letting your results deflate you, it will be very hard. Remember people don't reject others always because of the other person.
What the anonymous girl whom I liked the answer to said - All this love will find you or keep on trying don't give up crap is just that - crap - Love is easy - Be as attractive as you can, be socially adequate (while being yourself of course), and go talk to whomever you like - Now she's already given you the steps you need to do in her last 5 sentences and you should do all of them - I'd also add to ditch the glasses if you could get contact lenses instead

Look for someone whom you find attractive, become their friend, but make sure thay know from the beginning that you are attracted to them. Be assertive without being aggressive.

Work on yourself and look the best you can possibly look. A lot of guys who ask questions like this, don't want to do anything to improve their chances physically. For some reason, guys don't think women are visual. WE ARE! So, if you are over weight, lose weight,... get a haircut, get rid of acne, whiten/straighten your teeth, dress better, smell better, work on your hygiene, work on your conversation skills, do whatever you can to improve.
Love finds you. You don’t “look” for love. You simply become open to receiving it. So prepare for it by loving yourself.
1. You can’t love what you don’t know so get to know yourself,
2. accept and forgive yourself,
3. have faith you can accomplish your goals and
4. progress towards them without doubting yourself.
This is the path where you will find love and not just someone to settle with.just by realizing girls like you the same you like them.
I wouldn’t know. I’d say don’t try and let them come to you. That’s what I do. Though I reject them all. I don’t want to be in love.
You read LIKE three books? Or did you read three books? 🙄
Books? Like what? How women do you know to greet by name?
You don't. You let it walk into your life. But for that, you must be worthy of it. Start off with patience. Then gratitude. And most definitely be in tune with your emotions and true self worth
Herpes of the mouth means that you're looking for love in all the wrong places
Las personas no deben buscar el amor. Deben crearlo. Con cada persona que te encuentres da lo mejor de ti. Y recuerda que no debes desmotivarte cuando pierdas a alguien, porque el punto de las parejas es lograr conectar con alguien completamente.
Love yourself, work on yourself.
Be a bigger, better, fitter, richer person.
