It simply means that, when love does find you, the mind should be open enough to accept it. A person closed to the idea of love will not recognize it even if it stands right before him/her. Many carry preconceived notions of how their future partner should be. These stereotypes not only hinder the path of love, but also lay hurdles in a committed relationship.

Commitment or just dating, couples must remember that no one comes with the exact same specifications they want. Relationships cannot be made to order. It is especially necessary for hopeless romantics to realize that love is not an imagined movie.

If you like someone, go ahead and tell them so. It goes without saying that politeness is as important as salt in your favorite dish. Everyone likes a complement. Using positive words to gain the affection of your favorite person is an effective recipe for good beginnings.

When relationships are observed, one quality stands out as the most attractive. That is confidence. All charming people display oodles of confidence. And for the person at the receiving end, being open to unlikely persons can help you identify what you need, rather than what you want. Love is, at the end, an attraction of opposites.
