Argh...late again. But good luck Hero.

Anyway, I agree the most on what Fortune, goodman, and Red said...to be short, there is love but it just takes time to find it.

My opinion: (please don't take the wrong way people, if anyone gets offended, I'm sorry)
I don't see what's the whole deal with the love business. I agree with the three people I mentioned above, but I personally think that love isn't really a main priority, at least to me. I hear so many people complaining (not online, mind you because online, I don't know the people personally) about the lack of relationships and "dates" they've been on and to be blunt, it's all the same and pretty boring. For those who found your soul mate, I'm more than happy for you. But for those who haven't, I say just be patient and wait. I'm so tired of hearing people (in my school, especially) weep and complain about people not able to find "their true love" when they're so young! They act as if they don't have their older years ahead of them. I'd say that dating as a teen is merely an experience to prepare themselves for finding someone in the future, when they're older. I don't like how these young people are constantly on the "dating frenzy" and hooking up with the next person they see, considering them "the one". How can you say that? There are tons of people out there who are probably a much better match for you than that person you're having a "fling" with in High School. So why the desperate search? Confuses me, really. But, this is not to say that I don't think that teenagers shouldn't date. They can, but I don't think they should go on saying that person is the one they want to spend the rest of their life with.
Like Red said, just be patient and enjoy life (I'm saying this to young people). Sure, go ahead and date but as you get older, let your past experiences help you find a better match, if you're unable to find that person during your younger years. Love is a constant cycle that'll never end, it seems. But in the end, I'm pretty sure that everyone has that "special someone" waiting for them. It just takes time and patience.

On a note, I'm not saying that I'm completely "wise" on this topic because I've never been interested in dating or any of this, but what I said here is just merely from what I've been hearing and seeing.

So, for those who disagree with me, I'm prepared to take the bashing and flaming.
