I think you hit the jackpot when you said love is selfless. I ain't the expert here, but in my 30 years of single living I've come to the conclusion that true love is giving and never expecting anything in return. Granted, I have yet to experience this; however I have seen it in others. You know how you love your children? Or in my case my neice and nephew. I want so much for them, and could care less if they loved me back. I don't need their love. I think that's true love. Now translate that over to a romantic relationship. My problem in screwing up relationships is that I get so selfish, that's not love. I get irritable and pissy with them if they're not doing EXACTLY everything I expect them to in order to show me their love. I think if I ever get to the point where I don't need a man to make me whole, then I'll be able to love selflessly. Until that happens I guess I'm gonna keep on being SINGLE. Waaaah! LOL
