'It doesn't impress the girl (guy in our case =D), of course but there's no sense in impressing them and then getting killed.....' - Hobbes

Or in a simpler word that I was always told, 'Don't lose yourself to love someone'.

When we start to woo our future 'candidate' aka date, some might resort to act differently, trying to win his heart by acting like how we picture a perfect boyfriend should be but is it really a good choice?

Yes, I know love comes hard nowadays especially in our circle. Yes, I also know compromise is a must to make sure any relationship to pull through since if both side plays hard, it gonna break sooner than later. But really, sacrificing your set of value, your belief, your character just for the sake of love? How low could we succumb to......

First of all, understand that I said we need to 'compromise' not 'sacrifice'. Both has different connotation. When we sacrifice, most of time we don't gain something back but just for the sheer pleasure of it or for the sake of someone without any return.  Compromise requires both side to make concession and lose something. Is sacrifice a bad thing? Too much sacrifice and we will start to ask, "Why me?".

If u sacrifice everything, will it really make him stay? I highly doubt it because if he really want to be with u in the first place, u don't even have to sacrifice anything. Plus, when u did that, it just shows that u don't stand by ur own principle, but rather swing heavily depending on the circumstances. If it didn't turn out well, u lose everything, retain nothing, not even ur dignity. Such a shame.......

So no matter what, don't lose yourself to love someone and always keep ur head high


Love,
me
