Love is dangerous. It can cloud your vision, shatter your heart, and destroy your life. Even though some women dream about finding a husband, some of us try to avoid anything that has to do with feelings. It’s bizarre to be a girl who hates love (that’s in love), because this is what life is like:
- We feel like hypocrites. We’ll make fun of other women who use pet names and baby talk, but then we’ll do the same exact thing in the privacy of our own homes. We realize we’ve become the thing we’ve always mocked, but our boyfriends are just so cute that we can’t help it.
- Our heads and hearts are in constant conflict. We want to be logical, but it’s impossible to think with our heads when our hearts are screaming to be heard. That’s why we’ll end up doing some crazy things, but we’ll at least be wise enough to know we’re being crazy.
- We’re worried we look stupid. We want to post couple selfies on Instagram, but we know that people like us will make fun of them. That’s why we’ll try our hardest to resist doing all of the cutesy things that used to make us want to gag (but we’ll eventually give in and do them anyway).
- We’re scared to move too fast. We don’t want to be in love, because we know how dangerous it can be. That’s why we won’t say those three little words or agree to move in together until we’re 100% sure that we aren’t going to get screwed over.
- We try to play it cool when we want to brag. When our boyfriends do something special for us, we’ll want to tell all of our friends about it. Of course, we know how annoying it can be to hear a girl gush over her boyfriend, so we’ll hold ourselves back for as long as we can.
- We hate ourselves for turning into “that couple.” Candlelit dinners, picnics on the beach, and fondue nights are ridiculously corny, which is why we hate ourselves for loving them. We never dreamt of doing those things in the past, but now that we’re in love, it’s like we’re destined to try them.
- We start to like the things we’ve always hated. We don’t want to admit that The Notebook makes us cry or that Taylor Swift is relatable, but we can’t hide from the truth. Love has made us realize that the cliché movies and songs we’ve always hated are actually pretty clever.
- We’re embarrassed to admit how we feel. Most women are happy to admit that they’ve found the “love of their life.” Of course, we think we sound silly when we use that term, even though we’re pretty sure it’s the truth.
- We want to change our minds about love. It’s still hard for us to believe in the sanctity of marriage and monogamy, but we’re trying to get used to the idea. After all, we really want things to work out with our boyfriends.
- We know our feelings are legit. Some women are on a lifelong search for love, so they end up thinking they’re going to marry each man they meet. But women like us hate love, so the fact that we’re willing to push aside our fears to date shows that we must really like the man we’re with.
