growing up on this planet, you must have heared or read about romeo and juliet or something similar, etc but when you finally grow up,which am still doing you tend to find most people dont enter into relationships with their romeos or marry thier juliets, is it that humans dont have patience to seek thier soulmates hence ni romeo and juliet tales or we are just in love with the idea of "love"

am glad someone brought this up again.
I say it all the time and they say "busta don come again"

A lot of pple these that claim to be in love are not in love.
real love is really hard to find these days.
people are just "in love with the idea of being in love" . . .simply cos they are either afraid of being alone, everyone is dating so they wanna date too and not be left out. . or cos of pressure from friends and family.

wake up pple!!

Most people never grow up. . .that is the sadness of the present generation!

The mistake people make it that they fail to realize that you only recognize soul mates after like 100 years of being together. Sometimes it takes the other persons departure from planet earth to realize you have just lost a soul mate.  You can't prove you have a soul mate, till you have tested and strenghtened any relationship. That takes years to accomplish in most cases if not all.  If any one thinks you get a soul mate in one year of dating. . . that person must be sipping chlorox!

So to answer your question, people are in love with the idea and when the reality hits. . . ."things really fall apart"!

Not only do they[b] not have the patience to recognize[/b] what is really important in a relationship, they are too lazy to work hard to succeed in any relationship.  Especially Nigerians. . . .everything must be ready made and quick to receive without working for it! Most are not even qualified to be in any kind of relationships simply because they lack the proper upbringing and can never recognize the potentials of a successful relationship. If you treat you relationships like a business, run by discipline and constructive sets of principles. . . .you can only attract like minded people.  You attract what you are!  Thrash attracts thrash!

At the end of the day, they remain perpetual losers, jumping from one relationship to the other only to end up in some mosque or church fasting and praying to deaf deities at the end of their failing years!  Trying to get some awkward consolation price in a miserable existence.  You can tell by the way they easily get frustrated. . .a sign of a miserable unhappy life!

Love is like a ghost.many people talk about it,few have seen it.

busta, how old u be abeg? i ask cos u take style make sense.

i think the real problem is hollywood and the music industry which have created an ridiculous concept of what love is

love at first sight. . .
love changing a person's life forever. . .

that sort of thing that looks good on 90 minutes  cellulouid, sounds good in 5 minutes of canned music, but which cannot stand up to the harsh tests of time
