Why So.....?

Before starting this post.....wanna ask a very typical question - what do u think love is ?
Ok, now I m sure lot of thoughts would have started jumping into your mind, you would have started thinking all ur sms, google quotes or in case you have any boyfriend/ girlfriend, then what he or she has told you...what u actually feel for them and so on...I m not sure whether I m right or not bt ya I m definitely close to you.....
I also kept on wondering that what love is....in childhood, when got my first crush, was that a love or kept on writing lot many things by thinking someone, was that a love or watiting for someone special to come in my life...was that love or fighting with my whole family for someone, was that a love...or spending lot of time in travelling just to see a glance of that someone, was that a love....or feeling jealous and possessive for him, was that a love.....actually I m still confused that what love is, was it just a simple attraction or I was just behaving like an emotional fool....
My father always told me that - dear, none of the love is real...that is just a timepass of those guys for which they use 100 tricks and now I agree with him but then at that stage why I felt like helpless, mindless....forgot every teaching of my dad, just kept on thinking about that someone special....even though he was not at all thinking about me...actually he was a trickster but I didn't recognize that...just started flowing in his words...and later on got the best learning of life...
Actually I m sure that this case is with most of us. especially with all females...that whenever anyone praises us, or shows us little great importance or shows as if he won't be able to live without us...we all start believing them....we start remembering each and every single word uttered from his mouth whenever we are alone....why this happens, have we ever wondered....why we always want someone to praise us, or to love us, or to make us feel special....though we know sometimes that he is telling lie but we don't want to think that aspect....
Why we can't become little strong and stop believing blindly someone...or we are really very big hearted that we will fogive everyone who ever will hurt us....This is our foolishness or our genuineness......wanna all of you to think....Please
