Advice on Love and Friendship

[TheEclipse]

I really hope you won't mind me asking here. I just need different backgrounds of people to help me out with this, and I hope you won't mind if I make a few threads about different topics and ask for advice.

I'm trying to collate a book where there are many different pieces of advice from people online- all sorts of different people.

If you reply here with a piece of advice, I'll take it as permission to let me put it in my book.

Two of the topics I'm currently looking at is 'friendship' and 'love'.

Can you give me some pieces of advice on either of those two topics?

I'm not looking for quotes from famous people, but your own personal advice. It can be about any aspect of friendship or love (and it doesn't have to be romantic love, it could be love for your friends or family or pets).

Obvious trolling will be ignored, but pretty much anything else goes. I'll just edit for grammar and spelling.

Can you also please 'sign' your quote with what you'd like to be credited with in the book? Also please give me your age, gender and location.

If you give me a piece of advice I really like, I might post it up on my blog (linked in the websites section of the forum. I'm not including it here because I don't want to be seen as spamming).

Thanks! I'd really love to get some more teens and guy's advice. So far I've got mainly women in their 30s.

Love hardly ever comes knocking but when it does let it in because you dont find love it finds you.

Idno if youll use it but thats what i believe

anyway credited as "Dury" and jw what will this book actually be called if it all goes well? :rolleyes:

Not sure what it'll be called, but I'm thinking "Advice From The Internet". That's my working title anyway. I've got ideas to have all sorts of different ones, some targeted at different demographics.

Fair enough good luck with it an hope i helped :rolleyes:

[TheEclipse]

You did, thanks! If you come up with anything else later on, or something on Friendship, feel free to tell me. (also I'll hopefully be able to ask about other topics later on).

I'm now also looking for advice on Family. On parents, siblings, children, aunts, uncles, grandparents, the family as a unit, anything, as long as it's a piece of advice. What to do, what not to do, what works/doesn't work for you, things you will never do, etc.
