Nowadays... True Love isn't just enough anymore..
If you love a girl, it's just not enough to proclaim you're undying love for and your promise to take care of her for life. You have to sell it with something that can be displayed like good looks, impressive musical ability (like singing) or maybe great athletic skills. You have to show something to prove that you're worthy. It's normal these days, but if you look at the bigger picture, it's kinda tragic... and i experienced the setbacks first hand...
