Looking for Love

What is love?


I think this question can be answered in 2 parts, a Western perspective and an Asian perspective.

(note- these are stereotypes , dont take offense ^^ )


Western.

This is the "love" portrayed in such films as "the notebook" or other hollywood films.

Basically its that one person that gives you butterflies , that you cannot live without the one that no matter how many times they hurt you, you can some how forgive them.


Asian.

Love is when someone put your needs before theirs, will do anything to make you happy, and would look after you and give you everything you need. Be reliable , respectful and there in times of need.
(Hence why Asian parents always want you to find a rich, reliable and successful spouse)


Whilst some of the qualities intersect, often you can only find one or the other "side" .

If you've found both you're one lucky individual!

So which do you pick? 

Ive had this conversation with several girls and depending on the girls they pick various sides. My mum obviously advises me to pick the 'Asian' perspective.

From what I've experienced is you need someone more inclined to the Asian perspective with some element of the other side, however you dont need someone that always charismatic and making you laugh are surprising you all you time, I think everyone needs someone reliable and someone that always there, not because they are your fall back but because thats how you two can move forward in life helping one another.

So when you're out looking for love, ask yourself first, what kind of love are you looking for?
