Real love does what?

Waiting, for anything in life has become extinct. We are a world of credit card debt because we've got to have it now and no time to save. We start planning for the future before we can live one day fully. We respond impulsively with anger, impatience and control. It has become so difficult to simply wait and decide what is best to do. We are taught to think fast, react quickly, have a plan and know where we need to be in order to be successful. Love has become manufactured with sex and wants, instead of protection, fun, concern and waiting. The pull of commercials, music, good times and being free is greatly effecting young people's view of love. I was taught that true love is to be saved for one person, not to be given away for selfish gratification on impulse. One night stands, sex after a few dates, going too far without knowing how you even got there, none of this sounds like love. I am confused as to how people can sleep around with someone then move on to someone else. Doesn't something get left behind like self respect, intimacy, and what about the heart? How can you know what making love is when all you've had is sex. I just don't understand. I have been made the joke of the party, because of my views. I have been told I am a liar. I have been told to live in the real world. I don't have to look back on my youth and wonder what I left behind with someone else. I don't have to wonder if I should have stayed with another. I don't have to remember my first love experience and cry. I don't need to feel strange when I see my old boyfriends or try to avoid reunions of old lovers. I know exactly what I gave and chose to keep during my single years. I remember my dates knowing how I felt. It's no wonder people have mid-life crisis, decide to find another lover, or grow restless with another. Why not? Something so special as making love should be cherished not given away freely until...... the heart knows real love takes a long time to make.
