All dates consist of three things; food, entertainment and affection. At first, there is a lot of entertainment and only a little affection. As the relationship progresses, the entertainment is decreased and the affection is increased. When the affection becomes the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. At no time may the food be omitted.

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.

No one ever owns his youth or the women he loves.
(Pedro Almodóvar)
Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
Thatıs the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
Itıs the story of
The origin of love.
Thatıs the origin of love.

(Jonathan Carroll)
Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.

This is destiny so why pretend
Close your eyes kiss me once again.
I'll always be the only one you need.
So go where your deepest longing leads.
