Love Is Not Blind.
That is right; love can see very well. The problem is that we close our eyes when we love... and blindly believe that every thing else will just come right by itself.
You have to start loving with your eyes wide open. Look at and recognize the shortcomings in your partner. Discus it if you wish but do not believe for one minute that you can change it. Rather analyze yourself and decide if you can live with it or not.
If you cannot live with it, break it off sooner than later. The longer you wait the more difficult it becomes.
However, if you can live with it then go for it flat out. For now you can – and must – close your eyes for it. You have accepted it and now you can love with your eyes closed without fear.
Contradictory as it may sound, love has to be blind to succeed for nobody is without flaws. The question is: Can you live with it?

Yes you are right, but only partly
Being in love and to love are two different things. The real love takes time to develop and must replace being in love eventually. Sometimes they overlap but not often. This is why it is so important to have enough in common to abridge that interlude.
Women are a luxury most men want but few can afford.
The expression "Love is Blind" is generally depicted as a blindfolded Cupid shooting his arrows, hitting whoever they find. I do not think we usually choose whom we are attracted to initially. We do not pause to think whether we should feel love for that person or not. It just happens. Sometimes, it may be a total stranger of whom we have no idea of his or her values. Yet, that initial attraction can be overwhelming. It may be a matter of body chemistry. Some may call it infatuation but nevertheless, it is difficult, perhaps impossible, to prevent oneself from experiencing that feeling. I think all of us have such an experience.
It seems to me that the vast majority of comments are from older persons who have experienced that phase re their "first feelings of love" and moved on and may have forgotten the "blindness in love" they experienced at that stage. This is the crux of the statement "Love is Blind" and it is more likely to be experienced when one is young. There are several "Cupid" love songs about young love or first love. I would like to see more comments from younger persons to get a better balance of comments.
I agree that a distinction can be made between falling in love and growing in love; the latter most likely is the experience of older persons but as I stated earlier, the statement "Love is Blind" applies more to falling in love than growing in love.
if the party is pumping and the place is rocking I wonder what the people are doing.
men = bullets.
everynow and then us men will foolishly give the women our bullets Cat.
the result can be that we are shot down in a cold blooded manner in broad daylight on a busy public street.
now when the reverse happens the man may point his gun at the woman but we havn't got the heart to shoot the little critters(lol).
its a dangerous game of cat and mouse,its no wonder we need 9 lives.
How true!
But let's face it; we love those little arrows when they hit.
Methinks we must give the only blanks to shoot with. It will be much safer out there.
Thank you for the compliment.
Alas rubber coated bullets are as lethal as others; the bounce no better.
I am looking for a spaceman
a rubber covered gun will never allow its bullets to truely hit its target...but were still gonna shoot anyway
May know how much damage a gun can do with a well aimed throw.; rubber coated or not. The will find a way.
The problem is that experience is a bad teacher. He gives the test before the lesson.
