in love there is many types that other people get confused such as the different between loving them as a lover or just a friend. some times it changes to how much you mean to the person that doesn't mean you force the change on them, you love whow you love and the doesn't change. it shouldn't matter who you date wheither you date a girl or a guy its up to you and no one else, a couples success in love is if they are happy into it, no relationship should be forced to love someone they are not interested in, that is what is wrong with most "rebellious" kids, they want to prove they can handle who they love. true parents are allowed to hate the person their child dates but its up to them not the parents, love does come in many ways such as older+younger, guy+guy, girl+girl, it shouldn't ever matter, if there was a 20 or more years difference then yes that would be a problem but still no one is perfect but there is a perfect person out there for you, and you  find them when you do. don't rush, take your time and find out wheither its true or not. a fair relationship is one where the couple share equeal love, never treat your love as a trophy, men if you love a girl or a guy and you always think they go for the bad type DON'T ever think you are out of their league, most women will tell you they love the bad boy types that is nothing but bullshit. most girls love the shy and nervous types so men go get them, most gay men have the same preferences as women so don't hide just go get your love. women, don't try to change for the man you love, either they love you for who you are or they don't deserve your love, my advice to all of you is don't just live with being second or not at all in your perfect love's or who you think is perfect just go get them and show them how much you care and how much they mean to you cause if you let go you might be alone for the rest your life. take love by the curves of the heart and share it with the one you love
