Amy E. SpiegelIf you have nothing in common with the person you are dating and his parents hate you and your friends hate him, this is not romantic; it's a bad idea.
About This Quote
A person who is so concerned with being popular that they would play a game to keep a relationship going is a person who is not thinking clearly about whether they really want to be with this person for the long-term. If they have nothing in common with the person they are dating, then the odds are that they will have nothing in common with their children or their future children. When it comes to choosing a life partner, there are two things you need to think about: 1. Your emotional and psychological compatibility. 2. The relationship's potential for longevity. If you are finding yourself drifting into relationships that start out well, but then take a turn for the worse, or you find yourself making poor choices because you're too busy playing the popularity game, let me ask you this: By what other standards do you measure love?
