Relationships are an extremely big part of people's lives. Some take it way too far. Others find it to be really bothersome. Some love it, some hate it. Unfortunately most people view them the wrong way. Most look for the outer qualities before picking their “loved” one. In reality, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. However, people abuse this quality and only focus on the outer beauty. Usually this occurs in young teenagers, because they’re not looking for serious relationships. The way someone looks at love can heavily affect the impact of their relationship in the long run. Going out with a good looking person at first may seem great until you find out how bad they can really be on the inside. Most people tend to feel dating the prettiest girl or most handsome guy is the way to go, until they find out that what they’re doing is wrong when they end up getting hurt.
     Love relationships are really bad sometimes because people end up look for the wrong features in a person. A lot of them go after looks instead of personality, which isn't the way to look at someone. If someone were to date the person for their looks because she/he looked pretty/handsome, then you'd be skipping over the consideration of who they really are. Who they really are meaning, how they act and what they do. This will never make someone happy, especially if you're looking for a serious relationship. If someone were to get to know the person more before jumping in to date them because they looked good, they may realize how much a mistake it would be go to out with them. If the person you were going for was really amazing, had an awesome personality, treated you like you were someone important to them, and made you feel special, then that's someone worth going for. If they were also very attractive, that'd be a bonus.
     Though lots of people end up with a nice person they're happy with, a lot of the time they get left for someone "better." People don't know what they have until they lose it. And when they lose that person they really did love and thought they didn't because the one they went for ended up being a jerk or mean, then the two of them end up being uneasy about each other and omitting being together and ending up feeling sad anyway.  
There are so many different ways people portray love wit relationships. But when they come together in perfect form it may be the best thing in the world. People generally don’t view it that way often, however. Most portray it as loving a person for outer beauty rather than loving them for their internal features. Being in a high school environment and viewing relationships of a sort, notice of this occurs very often. The view of a high school student saying to his friend “yo she look good son?” “Hell yeah!” says to any witness that they’ve used the girl for her outer beauty rather than her inner beauty. Though many young teens ages 14-18 generally don’t look for much else other than their appearance. When you meet someone for the first time what you usually see first is their looks. Based on their looks is what people usually judge to see if they want to view you as. But it is only later that they see who you really are.
The biggest mistake one makes is picking someone they wouldn't enjoy life with.  The way people view love is mostly only real until one is older in their life. People don't view it as of much importance when they're of a young age. They use it usually for sex, or to just be with the most beautiful girl/most handsome guy. Though a younger generation may not view it as much importance, older people in their 20's or 30's see what live truly is. Though many people of that age tend to misuse love as well. It's mainly the younger sort though. They don't understand that love is a deep thing, not something you use for a minute then toss aside when you're done with it. Love isn't just a napkin, it's a whole towel (something you keep using and stick with).

              Unfortunately though, love relationships are usually the most painful. Once one realizes the true meaning of love, their heart is more easily broken. Which is most likely why many older people wish they were young again. In truth it may seem like "using" love may be the best thing to do to keep yourself happy, but if you use love well, it's the best thing in the world.
“To succeed with the opposite sex, tell her you're impotent. She can't wait to disprove it.” (Cary Grant). Upon looking up what “impotent” meant…the first definition of it states “lacking power or force.” Let’s not get into the second definition. What is meant by this is that the man in the relationship resembles the “might” of the relationship. Women are usually dependant on their guy. And for a man to break it because he found someone better ruins everything. He would have had a perfectly good girl who thought well of him and loved him, and he left her for some “bimbo.”
"I love you, but I'm not in love with you."(Love). As the website states, it’s a harmless quote, yet it’s an extremely painful thing on the person it’s being said to. These words mean that the person treasures them in their life, but if they left they’d be almost perfectly fine with it. The difference between “love” and “in love” is that if you’re “in love” with someone, you need them in your life, but if you “love” someone, you could still do without them. Of course there are other meanings, you can love your mom but not be in love with her. But referring to someone you just happened to meet, that’s what it basically means.
Love isn’t an easy thing. It’s very complex and it just really confuses you a lot of the time. You could love someone and the next minute they’re gone. They often never work out well. Most of the time they never really do, and it can be one of the most painful things you’ll ever experience. But one thing to remember is, if they’re beautiful on the outside, it doesn’t always mean they’re beautiful on the inside.
