1. Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry
If you truly love someone, then you'll apologize to them whenever you hurt their feelings. It's the least that you could do.
2. Love Conquers All

Unfortunately, love alone isn't enough. If the timing of your relationship isn't right, or if you two want different things out of life, then you aren't going to work out, even though you love each other.
Frequently asked questions
3. Opposites Attract

If you don't have anything in common with your partner, what are you going to talk about? What types of dates are you going to go on? Your different personalities could cause problems.
4. Never Have Sex on the First Date
You should do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to sleep with someone on the first date, and they feel the same way, then go for it.
5. Trust Your Gut
Your gut isn't always right. You should have a reason behind your actions. Don't just go with your gut whenever it's time to make a decision, or you could end up making the wrong one.
6. You Had Me at Hello
You might like someone as soon as you see them, but you can't love them the second they say hello to you. Love takes time to develop. It doesn't happen in an instant.
7. Actions Speak Louder than Words

Sometimes, you need to use your words. If you never tell your partner how much you love them, then they could end up feeling neglected.
8. Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover
Even though you shouldn't judge someone based on their looks, you can usually spot a player when you see one. His appearance just might give his personality away.
9. It Comes when You Least Expect It

You won't get a job without looking for one. So if you want a man, it's okay to search for one.
10. Love like You’ve Never Been Hurt

The pain you've experienced in the past is important. You shouldn't let it hold you back, but you shouldn't forget about what it taught you, either.
11. Men Should Pay for Dinner
You're just as capable of pulling out your wallet as your man is. You can pay if you want to.
12. Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
There's another saying called, "Out of sight, out of mind." Sometimes, distance will pull you two apart.
13. Everything Happens for a Reason
If you bump into your ex at the mall, it isn't a sign that you should get back together with him. Coincidences happen.
14. Love is Blind
You shouldn't be searching for a man who looks flawless. However, you shouldn't date someone, unless you're attracted to them, either.
15. Don’t Kiss on the First Date

You can kiss him whenever you feel the urge. There's no time frame you need to follow.
16. Love the One You’re with
If you don't love the one you're with, leave him. You're not forced to stay.
17. If You Have to Ask Yourself if You're in Love, You Aren't
Love is a tricky thing. If you've never felt it before, it's normal for you to wonder if you're actually in love.
Even though you've heard these pieces of advice dozens of times, it doesn't mean that you should listen to them. What other advice do you hate to hear?
Comments
Aurora: If you love something Let it go. Always a Wonderful quite to hear but I never really understood it
Curiositykills: I think what it means is if you really love someone, but he is not ready open up, then you have to let it go. If they come back and can handle it and you can handle it, then it was meant to be between the two of you.
