I know it's a cornball thing but love is passion obsession someone you can't live without.  If you don't start with that what are you going to end up with?  I say fall head over heels.  Find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back.  And how do you find him?  Forget your head and listen to your heart.  I'm not hearing any heart.  Run the risk if you get hurt you'll come back.  Because the truth is there is no sense living your life without this.  To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try.  Because if you haven't tried you haven't lived.
