Love

When is the right time to fall in love?

When you are a teenager you are too young and should live your life but when you get to mid 30s you had better find someone fast or you won't be wanted. So when is the right age? According to most adults I've asked have said when you meet the right one but that is not a definite answer.

According to the Daily mail we only have four chances to fall in love and the average time to settle down is at 27 but this still doesn't mean you are in love. And what is the threshold between lust and love? To some love doesn't even exist except as a few chemicals in the brain.

I don't believe in soul mates as the existence of a person who is another part of me scares me to the point of I would kill them. I couldn't deal with another me, one is enough. Also I don't think it can be catagorised like the colour wheel of love theorised by John Lee as Eros (loving a ideal person), Ludos (Love as a game), or Storge (love as friendship). And I could go on for hours about how love at first sight would probably end up in death or destruction, see Romeo and Juliet, Twilight, and The Vampire Diaries.

I believe love grows after knowing someone, either loving them as a friend and knowing you would probably be dead without them or as romantic love which can either last for the rest of your life or sizzle down into nothing. I have lots of ex partners and those things ended on bad terms over half of the time. I so want to be in love and feel what it is like but I'm willing to wait, whether it is waiting until next week or the next decade.

I still consider my self a interdependent female even if I have a person beside me while I sit on my throne. What happens when a woman marries a king? They become a queen. What happens when a man marries a queen? They become a prince.
