In my 34 years on this planet I have come to believe this:

Men love harder than women. Yes, women tolerate more than men do, but a man’s love for a woman is one of the purest things you will ever witness. It’s not a “just because I am lonely” type of love or a “just because she loves me” type of love. No, it’s untainted, pure, and genuine.

We women can learn to love, and men can’t; it’s either they love you or they don’t. Men don’t know how to love in half measures. Once you understand this, you will wish for a man to eventually love you this way someday. If you are with a man who does not quite love you right, you will know. It’s either he is not with the one he loves or has yet to meet the one he loves.

If you have to force it, beg for it, convince it, trick it, or try to figure it out, then it’s not that kind of love, my dear. Let that man go. Nothing hurts more than knowing that the man you are throwing yourself at has his heart belonging to someone else.
