Lets not call it 'Love'

What's so scary when someone starts treating you special?
It's when you get used to it
and you can no longer get it out of your system.
So before it's too late,
you have to set your mind
that sweet gestures are never guarantees.

That is exactly my point but its better explained in form of an incident that once happened. So there was this guy who was looking for something serious and he really liked this girl. That girl was really nice and she treated that guy well and they were good friends but she never really had any feelings for him. The guy was not really perfect (i mean obviously!) and had an image of a pervert. He tried very hard to get this girl to go out with him but it never really happened and there was a time when he was fighting hard to stay friends with her. Out of all this what I realized was that this girl, she never really deserved him. Because she only saw him as a nerd-ish pervert and truthfully he was so much more than that. She just didn't see what was beyond his pervert image.

It happens sometimes that you like someone and they don't like you in the same way. I wont say that they don't deserve you or you should not pursue them but that you should never keep your hopes up and should walk away before its too late. Because when you really love someone, you don't just have to tolerate their flaws but you have to love all the little ways in which they are imperfect. You have to see them beyond that image people have set for them. And if there is someone who loves your flaws and sees you beyond your imperfections, then that's the person you should pursue. And if someone says that they love you and they don't love your imperfections then lets not call it love.
