Some people say don’t get your hopes up because then you will be disappointed.
I will have to disagree with this statement.
Without hope you’re not vulnerable. If you’re not vulnerable, then this will lead you to build up walls around your heart.

Don’t Put All Your Eggs In One Basket
It’s a saying we’ve all heard at one point or another, and it can relate to a variety of situations:

I’m still trying to understand how and why some men have placed more importance on our dates than I have.
Jon is one of those fellas and the main character in this Tale from Sip and Go Girl.
I was shopping in a grocery store on a Sunday afternoon after church. Near the front of the store, a man was signing up people for newspaper subscriptions. He was staring at me. He watched me walk to and he watched me walk fro and then he watched me walk to and fro again. He didn’t look familiar and I couldn’t figure out why he was staring at me.

I was sitting with a coworker recapping her busy weekend. She just recently started hanging out with a new guy and so far things are going great. She’s happy, excited and just plain smitten. I haven’t seen her smile this much in months.
She was sitting relaxed in her office chair, looking up with a smile as she recounted each event with diligent accuracy to make sure she didn’t miss any detail. But she suddenly stopped and said, “It was a perfect weekend, and I’m really happy. But I did something bad. I broke the rules.”

Have you ever envied another person’s romantic relationships? You looked at this seemingly-perfect couple and thought, “What I wouldn’t give to have a love like that.” They’re always smiling on Facebook and maybe affectionate in public. They’re planning their lives together and if they’re not married then they seem on the path toward wedded bliss.
I’ve seen those couples and known two of them quite well actually. You can imagine I was recently stunned when both pairs split. Both couples were engaged to be married and from the outside, they looked perfect. I’ll admit I even envied them at times and assumed life couldn’t get any better for them.
As cliché as it sounds, it just goes to show things aren’t always what they seem.
