- How do you know if somebody loves you?
- How do you know if somebody has forgiven you?
- What are unforgivable things that someone could do in a relationship?
Etcetera...
Anyways, it was the first question that had me thinking for the rest of the school day; until now...
How do you know if somebody loves you? Sure, they could tell you that they do... Or they could buy you presents, show you affection, cuddle you, do all those sappy romantic things... But I mean... Do they really truly LOVE you? You have your jerks who fake it just to use you... Or you have those people who think they are in love, but really aren't and get their heart 'broken' over and over again...
Maybe I'm just thinking of this in my own special way... I mean, I know I have felt love before and I can be pretty damn sure that he was in love with me back! I guess it's cause I can't read their minds or emotions so you never truly know what they're thinking or feeling...
This reminds me of the movie Easy A which I just happened to be discussing today with the always entertaining [Clearly Unfocused].
In one scene, Olive Penterghast (the protagonist) is broadcasting, to all who are watching, what she looks for in a guy... There's this one quote I absolutely love!
"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me just once. I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."
Oh how I want those things too! I mean... I think it'll be difficult to find a ride-on mower nowadays... Or a boom box for that matter... But something along those lines would be absolutely amazing! Though the sad story is that... Well... You just don't get many guys who do that anymore! Just looking at the choice of guys there is at my school proves that very fact.
Here's a random scene near the end of the movie Easy A. If you haven't seen this movie, I strongly suggest you do! ASAP! :)
I want a guy who isn't afraid of showing me how much he loves me! I hate guys who are all like "No, she's just my ho" round his guy friends but completely sensitive when it's just the two of us... Though I've noticed guys are a lot more open round their friends with their girlfriends these days so I don't think I need to worry too much about that!
I love all the little things a guy can do for me... Stroking my hair, playing with or holding my hands, holding me, looking into my eyes, telling me "I love you" and being able to hear how much he means it!
He doesn't need to buy me expensive presents... Or presents in general really! We don't need to go out anywhere like the movies or anything... I'm perfectly happy with the idea of sitting on a couch and watching TV for hours on end! Well... Depending on what's on...
I also want a guy who doesn't overly care (or at least laughs it off) if I act completely stupid (whether intentional or not...) around him, or tries to understand the way I think or feel as best as he can... (Which would be very impressive, because I am incredibly difficult to understand! :P)
And (linking to last night's post), I would love a guy who is completely comfortable around me and wouldn't be afraid to sing or do anything music-wise around me... And I still absolutely love (like literally melt-worthy) the thought of singing a romantic duet with that special someone. :)
I personally think that one of the best songs to do something like that with would be As Long As You're Mine from WICKED... Mostly because it's one of my favourite songs from my favourite musical... This has song has made me cry a few times! And things rarely make me cry! So it must be a pretty damn good song! The amount of times I've imagined myself in the shoes of Elphaba with my Fiyero singing beside me would be way too many to count...
Anyways, I must stop now otherwise I'll bore you with more pointless bantering about such sappy things... I shall make my next few posts more... Entertaining? At least I will try...
~I can't love you if I'm not sure who I am inside~
