Love Advice on Valentine's Day

I got home late last night because I had dinner with Derek, and I was feeling rather overwhelmed with the things he told me, so I ended up coming up with this Facebook status of mine. Really, it was just from the top of my head, not quite thought out.

Much to my surprise, in the morning, I received a hate mail expressing that offense was taken over the top statement, and that I was bitter. Whoa. Really now, I didn't mean anything by it.

I replied, and then went on my way. Before I left the house, I received a message from a good friend of mine from high school requesting permission to share the status on his Facebook timeline. I agreed, by all means, right?

When I checked on my Facebook, there were a good number of likes and about 4 shares already, so I am totally surprised as to why the status is garnering attention.

Anyway, I thought I may as well post the status here in the blog. For today, I will give everyone unsolicited advice and wisdom.

Excerpt from Isaac's Facebook status:

In my 30 years, here are some lessons on love, just in time for Valentine's Day:

1. People get scared when told, "I love you."

These people are cowards, and have no balls. Lose them. And no, the let's be friends crap is, well, bull.

2.  Love is not a contest. A partner is not a prize to be won. 

In the words of She's All That, "Am I a stupid bet?"

3.  Commitment means including your partner in your plans.

4.  Hold on tighter at times when your partner wants to let go. 

That's what a marriage is all about. Forget the crap about setting someone free. When you love someone, fight to keep that person.

5.  Make time. 

If you spend more time with your friends, well, something's wrong. Unless you're doing your friends, well, that's just sick then.

6.  Learn from each other.

Hey, nobody's perfect. Whoever is perfect, is an asshole.

7.  Inform your partner of your whereabouts.

It isn't because there's no trust, but its so that in case the zombies rise from the dead, you know where to get your loved one.

8.  Communicate.

Talk. Text. Email. FaceTime. Post on timelines. Keep the lines open.

9.  Be honest.

Are you sad? Are you scared? Do you need to fart or go to the john? Just say it!

10. Play boardgames together. 

In other words, do fun things together.

Keep  you guys posted for more!
