Age: I think age depends on the circumstance. If there's a 40 year old guy saying that he's in love with a 2nd grader, I call bullshit. To me, age shouldn't matter all that much, but really, it does. If you are older, like about 18, then it doesn't as much. You could date or marry someone a lot older than you, but people will always look down on you. The reason why I don't quite understand this is because we are all just people. Love is love; it's a feeling that you can't help but have sometimes. So if it's something you can't control, why do you have to look specifically for someone your age? One thing that I feel very strongly about is double standards. A girl could date someone older than them. Heck, I could find somebody 5 years older than me and most people wouldn't say a thing. A female freshman dating a male senior is NOTHING. How come a girl can't date a younger guy without getting laughed or scoffed at? A female senior dating a male freshman would be CRAZY. Even though I could easily date a guy 5 years older, if I tried dating a guy even ONE year younger people say things like "OMG you're older?" or "Duuude, why are you dating someone younger?" When I asked someone about this, they had a pretty logical explanation. "Girls mature faster, so if you want a mature guy then you have to look for someone older than you." That makes sense in a way right? I mean women supposedly DO mature faster, so if we mature two years faster, we should look for somebody two years older, right?? Wrong. Love know's no boundaries.
Race: Has anyone out there felt like someone wouldn't date them because they're a different race? No matter, white, black, mexican, asian, etc. you should not be discriminated against because of your race. I know TONS of people who say things like "I would never date a black person." Or "Eww, you're dating a mexican?" Love is not shallow, so if you're dating someone because of how they look, or don't look, don't expect it to work out.
Sexual Preference: Everyone has a different sexual preference, although some people don't have any. There are gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, etc. So many different labels!! Like I said, for me, love know's no boundaries. I don't look at what is in a person's pants or what they look like on the outside; I look at a person's personality. Even if you do, you may have different beliefs. That's fine, because everyone does. The thing that bothers me though, is that just because you have a different belief, you feel like you have to push that on other people; or you are very intolerant to other beliefs. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that ALL of you are like that. I have no clue about what people are reading my blog right now, but I think that the world needs to be a little more open-minded when it comes to love. Just because I believe something, or I'm doing something, does NOT mean that I want you to believe it or do it, I just want you to let me go my way, and you go your way. We are all people and we all deserve all the same rights. There are some heterosexuals that are under the assumption that they are in love, and homosexuals just have sex; but everyone just wants to be loved.

I also very much agree with this. *nods* xP
