Some people say "don’t let looks deceive or else your chances of gaining the affection of that particular guy/girl is slim."

In society, comes a world of curiosity, when it comes to romance. A lot of guys and girls become questionable to one another at first glance, when it comes to meeting one another in person. Any guy as well as any girl can have a personality that is either filled with a clear or mysterious end because of how much they understand each other. A guy who meets a girl or a girl who meets a guy does not always lead to a guaranteed opportunity of forming a relationship with one another.

This idea formulates the fact that different points of views of a guy and a girl, who can critically make relationships very difficult for each other to start. This transition can be relentlessly undesirable for an individual to mate with someone because not only are they judged by the first impression, but they will be labeled as a part of the friend zone or love zone to tell whether or not you have an interest for them. This is one of the factors that will also determine if they are just a thought or if they are really worth liking.

However, other people say that you should judge someone based on personality rather than looks. Usually when someone finds their lover, there is mainly an attractive property that sparks their attention in any occasion. This idea is hard to believe because generation after generation, the perception of how to approach a mate changes based on the person. People don’t speak the same way as their parents did growing up. For example, a lot people of today use terms like “bae” to express how much we love someone. This shows that the personality of an individual is different and can sometimes matter more than the appearance when it comes to the best characteristic of attraction. Nowadays, most millennials do a little of both when it comes to approaching one another.

Before going up to a guy/girl even if you one those people who have a certain preference one or not, always take a moment to stop and ask yourself, are they actually worth more than a friend to you or are they just an idea? This question could help prevent any conflict meeting or dating an individual before starting off on rough relationship with them. You have to find a way to maneuver genuine communication in order to maintain a stable status of a person so that eventually, their feedback (point of view) could bounce back at you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
