So I was asked a question...

[Rebound Material]

Ok, me and this girl im currently trying to get with were talking one night and she happened to have asked me:

1) Do you believe in fate/destiny?

2) Do you believe in love?

I gave an automatic 'yes' to the 1st question, but when it came to the question about love, I was stuck. Normally id say 'yes' right off the bat, but it was something that this site says I shouldnt believe and the fact that there is no universal term for it. Also last semester in world religions class, my teacher pointed out that people mistake the combination of high interest and high infatuation for love.

I didnt want to be a little suck up and just agree with her that I did believe in love so I simply told her "...well, i question that" and gave my reasons.

Was not agreeing with her a good move especially with such a girly subject as this? Have you guys ever wondered about those 2 questions??

I think its fine to disagree with that. The girl's still going to believe what she wants to...atleast thats been my experience. She'll think to herself "oh he really believes in love or i'll make him feel it for me". I think it can end up being a challenge for her and a good thing for you. But ultimately it doesn't ****ing matter because it's just talk.

1) Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Those with knowledge can forge the destiny of the weak. Those without knowledge are bound the fate created for them from those with power. Power and knowledge are one in the same.

2) Do you believe in love?

That's a question best left to each person. Your answer, my answer, and everyone else's answers are just as good as the next answer.

1. No, because I think the idea of destiny is a way for people to talk themselves out of not taking initiative to gain some control in their lives.

2. Yes, but I think that actual love is much different from what love is advertised as being in books and movies and the like.

None of these questions are important to her at all. They are both simply romantic words and as such... hint, hint - did you try and kiss her?

The actually answers have no bearing on anything.

My answer would be that love is evolution's way of tricking you into procreating.

i like that but as for myself i don't think i believe in love anymore i believe that i would do anything for someone i care about but as for love no

I believe the love a parent has for their children, but NOT between a couple. I also believe in MAKING love, but not as an emotion.

Naw, i didnt try to kiss her. It was like the 2nd time we met and a bunch of my friends were around.

Yeah you should have kissed her. Just say looked her in the said "yeah" and moved in for the kiss. Stop philosophizing over concepts. The answer doesn't matter to her as long as you say it with conviction.
