You're welcome. Hi.

I'm just going to get straight into it because I know you're a straight shooter and I've always appreciated that about your show and you in general. I'm 27 years old. I'm single, currently seeing a couple of people, nothing super serious. And as I've been...

dating in my personal in my life these last uh these years it's I've only really been dating since I was 19 and the word love is interesting to me and the feeling of love is subjective but ever since I was 19 and ever since I I dated a girl when I was 19 and she was we were each other's first everything and it only lasted about six months but I

This is going to sound ridiculous, but that feeling that I've had for this person, this woman, it went away eventually after a couple of years. But I feel like I've never found that sort of feeling that I did with her compared to anybody else who I've seen. And I've dated around quite a bit. Okay. I'll agree with you, Kevin. You will never feel that way again because that's how a 19-year-old boy feels. Okay.

I know. It's crazy, right? No, you don't know. No, you don't know. You shouldn't have flippantly said that. The reason you will never feel that way again, because that's the emotional status and maturity of a 19-year-old boy. And that was the feeling. First time feeling intimate with a woman. First time having sex. First, first, first, first. It's very exciting. And you're inexperienced, not mature yet. That's what it feels like.

So you're never going to feel that way again. If you're waiting for that, you're going to die solo. Yeah, you're right. Curling up on the couch for a movie is one of my favorite ways to end the day. Lily's always right there with me. And we have a new addition to our movie nights, the fluffiest.

You should be looking for someone with whom you feel really comfortable, content, safe, can be yourself.

That's not what you're looking for at 19. At 19, you're looking for, and now you need to look for a more mature love. Yeah. Yeah. Right on the money. So think about the qualities I just said. Comfortable, safe, warm, loving, loved. Love it this at your 47. You said you're 47. Did I hear that right?

No, I'm 27. Oh, I thought I heard you say 47. Well, you still have years to mature, but don't panic. Oh, I know. They will come. But you're never going to feel that way again, and I hope you never do because it's insane. It's not rational, and it's overwhelming, and it takes over your whole life. And fortunately, as we get more mature, we don't do that anymore.

We start looking at somebody with warmth and admiration and feeling of kindness and compassion and safety and attraction and all of that. But it's much calmer. Yeah. So stop having sex with every girl you date. That's ruining your head. Yeah. Really. Stop having sex with every girl you date because then it all becomes less and less meaningful.

No, I've learned that the hard way. Okay. All right. Well, as long as you've learned it, I'm good. Yeah. Thank you, Dr. Laura. You're welcome. Call anytime. Take care. My number, 1-800-375-2872.
