Do you really love honesty? Really? Do you really want to open yourself to others? Really? Are you willing to be hurt for being honest? Really? Are you willing to die alone for being honest? Really? The funny part here: You only want her as a friend? Really? Are you brave enough to be honest since the beginning? Really? Would you give him achance if he tells you :" I cant see you as a friend..i try, but i cant". Really?. Really? Really? Come on people!!!
If the relationship is real then none of these things will be an issue, if you truly love someone there are no limits you will not go for them you will go through the very fires of hell itself for them it won't matter what the cost is or what you have to do to be with them. Many people don't know what real love is many people even seek to find love not because of love itself but because they don't want to be single and die alone this is also why many people hook up without having a true bond.
If you want to be in a relationship honesty is indeed needed though because we are human we tend to be dishonest sometimes. Many people want to find love without understanding what love really is and they do it with the need to not be alone to not be single to find the love of their lives and then when and if they find someone like that and marry it doesn't tend to last as over 56 % of marriages end in divorce. I don't know about you but i don't want a relationship just to have one or just so i don't die alone I want the real thing I want a girl that I would go through torture for i want a love that is so deep and so strong that even if she cheated on me and had sex with another man I would not divorce her.
For me love is not to be taken lightly and that is especially true when it comes to God. Love is a blazing fire it's a passion it's an unbreakable bond and connection of the hearts it's not s fuzzy warmth or a mooshy feeling or a lovey dovey everything is rainbows and skittles thing. True love is decided by the answer to this question- how far are you willing to go for them?
