- We have mixed concept of love and like: Earlier, it was just love. Now, we have big social circles, we meet new people every then and now. A lot of times we mix love with like. Love is a process, and we tend to forget it.
- We expect companionship but when it becomes a reality, it scares us: Yes! The reason behind could be anything. We just want to settle for anything less of we think it’s too early. We expect companionship, but sometimes when we actually get it we feel scared.

- Reality is hard to accept: We don’t think about flaws of a person. We like real and raw, but we don’t love them. It becomes a hard deal for us to love someone who speaks her or his mind. Someone is raw. Hence, we contradict things we really want.
