In our minds, love is complicated.

That is why we never jump straight into dating someone before getting to know the person well.

We have to have proof we can rely on them before we will take the next steps with them.

It takes a while to gain our trust.

We are often wary of anyone who seems too good to be true.

We are not used to picture perfect families.

After everything we have been through, we are naturally suspicious.

We always keep our eyes opened to avoid being fooled.

We protect ourselves by keeping our guards up.
