Love Advice from ChicagoJo Readers |

These bits-o-info were pulled from the LoveyDovey survey I ran a few months ago. My last question asked for random advice, and there was some wisdom in those words. So in light of the past holiday, I leave you with love advice from ChicagoJo readers.
The Cynics
Stay away from men who live with their ex-girlfriends!
Make sure you know what you�re getting yourself into.
Love fucks over more than we fuck it.
Don�t do it.
Don't fall in love. It HURTS.
The Realists
Don�t try to change them. If you can't love them as they are, don't bother.
Always, always, always be yourself.
Love takes an honest commitment. It is hard work, and if handled properly can yield amazing results. Be honest and open. Don't hold back.
Don't settle -- only go for the best!
You can't appreciate the ups until you go through the downs.
Wait for it to come to you, and keep busy until it does. Love has a funny way of showing up when you don't want it too...
Remember, looks fade and conversation is important.
� if you don't like the initial package that you're presented with -- the core values -- you probably cannot change that. Little things you can change, but the inner core of a person you probably can't.
Don't make him/her constantly prove they love you. Just look closely and you'll see for yourself.
The Optimists
Treat each other with basic respect. Simple, but it works.
Love everyone. Love yourself. Love me!
Love sucks, love hurts but it sure can make you feel wonderful when it's working. Always let it in.
Take it slow... Don't look for it, let it find you.
Love like you will never get hurt.
Take it slow, and make sure it is real. Once you know it is, hold onto it with all your might.
Absolute, complete, brutal, embarrassing honesty. In everything. If you don't think you should tell him, you probably should.
