Due to my busy schedule, I and my best friend does not have much time to talk about life. And when we do have time, we talk so much.
Last night, she called me to tell me some good news.
She told me that she already have a boyfriend and she realized something new.
She said that being committed is far more than being just in a relationship.
I asked her "It is natural to commit once you enter into a relationship, right?"
She answered me "no"
She told me that, if a person is really committed to you, amidst all the different attractions around, that person will only see you. If a person is committed to you, his or her I love yous are not just words but also a responsibility.
After she told me that she asked me the question "Do all people IN A RELATIONSHIP feel that they are the only one? Do you think there will be "cheating" if all people entering a relationship are committed?"
After that, I laughed with amusement, because I realized that this bright woman I am talking to is my best friend.

Nicely said. I think she is right about that. Not all in a relationship is committed to one another. I think also that to be in a good and stable relationship each should be committed to it. Many think that when a couple agrees they should be in a relationship commitment is already there. Each should show their commitment to that agreement to love and be loyal to each other.

That is true. I now realize how complex it is to be in love. There is a saying that "It's but natural to fall in love, but you have to consider a lot of things before you finally submit to the fall" and I think being ready to commit is one of those factors we need to think of.

@mnglsp It is a necessary step in beginning a relationship. They should be seen as dedicated to one another after they make their relationship public. Even if they are not stated explicitly, it is assumed that you have already made a commitment.

It did not matter what sort of connection it was for me, it never worked out.
