There is a very popular romantic story online. I have read it for many times and finally I figure out how the girl and the boy fell in love.
The girl was lonely. She went abroad all by herself. She struggled for her study and life in the new environment. She needed to be cared and concerned. She has been married for several years and got used to be taken care like a little sister by her husband. However, only good care was not enough. She apparently was not satisfied with her marriage. The story did not mention the reason (or maybe will mention later). It is understandable if she was in mid-life crisis after several years plain marriage. The boy showed up under this circumstances. The story told the readers that the boy was a graduate student, who was supposed to be alone too. Their love story began with that both of them tried to borrow the only available copy of a famous book. Let’s setup a few hypothesis. What if she was with her husband or he was with his wife, would they exchange their contact info? What if he was not brave or genteel, not humorous or generous, or what if she was not delicate or courtesy, what if she was not beautiful or attractive, would they meet again? Borrowing the book was ordinary for most of people. But for lonely people, it provided them a precious opportunity to know each other. Love is an effective medicine for needy and lonely hearts (revised from an online message). However, was it really love or love naturally was multiple-sided? When one was lonely, one might lower his/her criterion or might take companion as love. When one was lonely, one might think every glance would be the one to lead a love story and the person would be the Mr. or Ms. Right. When one was lonely, even himself/herself could not distinguish if what he/she really wanted was being loved or being touched or both, if what he/she really wanted was mental enjoy or physical desire or both. This is human nature, nothing deserves to be blamed. Although I stubbornly wish their love started from the very beginning when both of them were quite available not based on loneliness, I also know imperfect love might be more realistic.
