Affection

My values and upbringing tell me that when it comes to a girl I like, I should be sincere, cherish her, not constantly weigh pros and cons, and love her with seriousness and devotion. It's like nurturing a tree; you need to understand respect, trust, and give space, and be willing to commit for the long haul. Understand her, support her, be with her, with boundaries and sincerity, paying attention to everything she does and responding to everything. I've thought about this for a long time and I believe it's not wrong. Novelty always fades, but basic principles and upbringing do not. Let go of the fantasy of a perfect partner and learn to love this ordinary, real, flawed her. Novelty is exploring new life with the same person, not replacing people to repeat old stories. There are no two people who are perfectly compatible from birth; it's just that one understands and is willing to compromise, and the other knows how to cherish and be grateful.
