The nature of love.

Yeah, that's the real arguement.

I'm tying in love with what dating is about. Love is nothing to go into depression about. Especially when you start dating, you may only spend a few days with someone. I think the reason Paul and Dan have different reactions is more personal than it is a general application. It sounds to me like Dan, when he finds somebody, expects to stay with them for a long time. So when he gets broken up with before he wants to, he gets depressed. Now why he gets so depressed is even more personal or maybe just a disorder, and is hard to answer. Paul, however, is different. Have you ever seen Drake and Josh, on Nickeldodeon? Well, Paul is like Drake. Drake dates many girls [in a short period of time] for the joy of dating girls and for his self-image. Paul maybe just wants to meet a lot of girls, and he enjoys that.
