		<description>I love reading your blog. There&#039;s a guy who I&#039;ve been friends with for awhile and it&#039;s obvious there&#039;s an attraction between us but we live in different states. I really feel like there&#039;s something special between us but I am too scared to voice my opinion for the fear of  a lot of things. We&#039;re both in our 20s and working full-time so I want to take it there with him and see how he feels. Sure, I might get rejected but your blog inspired me to take a chance because knowing that I put my feelings out there is better than wondering what if. Thanks for all of your encouraging words.</description>

		<description>Sometimes I think that excuses like the ones you mentioned are only fronts of the real reason why they refuse to commit: &lt;strong&gt;fear&lt;/strong&gt;. Fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of failure, fear of getting hurt.... Of course, we can never dictate nor push our own thoughts on other people on how to run their lives. The choice is theirs to make, and even if some of us don&#039;t agree, well, that&#039;s hardly our problem. ;)</description>

		<description>i know a lot of people who say things like they want to complete college and be successful in their career before they start looking for love.  i feel the problem with this is if you wait too long, everyone else has a head start.  the further you get into a career and success, the more pompous the attitude can turn. this means it might be to meet someone to equal (probably) too high standards.  my biggest problem with the statement however is, it reeks of selfishness which is not what love is.  if you you are lucky enough to meet someone before you complete career goals take them, because everyone isnt so lucky. and if you two come to success together, its just one more thing you can share and embrace as love unfolds.</description>

		<description>Im only 16 and I used to always want to fall in love and countless times I&#039;ve thought I was but now I see that I never really was, and I&#039;m not emotionally ready for love or a relationship.  But I love this post!</description>

		<description>Love always seem to over power me.I would say that I love too much. I&#039;ve explored &lt;b&gt;ALMOST&lt;/b&gt; all the aspects of it. I&#039;ve loved with my whole heart, fell in love, tripped over love, got bitch slapped with it and still maintain my balance.
Commitment always seem to scare men. It&#039;s like cryptonite to men. So yeah..I would say men have bigger issues than women. I&#039;d love for a certain someone to read this entry.</description>

		<description>Interesting entry.  You&#039;re right that love and commitment takes work.

Would it be awful of me to say that I&#039;m glad I am not in a relationship because of the work and the stress (and the good stuff) that will come with it?  I guess I&#039;m not ready for one, but at the same time, I don&#039;t want one either.  I&#039;m happy being single.  In fact, I can see myself being single for a real long time until I find the right man for me.  And when I do, I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll be more ready and more willing to put in the effort.  However, right now, I&#039;m content at where I&#039;m at in life.  Then again, I&#039;ve always been a bit of a loner, so yeah. ^^;;</description>

		<description>I hope you find the power to get back out there and start meeting new people. I prefer to try and try and try than to sit in the house, not knowing what I&#039;m missing out there.

Hope things get better for you.  :blog22:</description>
