Dear Mariner,
Love transcends experience. From what I've heard/seen/read about,
there're some "inexperienced" people who'd met their 1 true love
when they were young, they got married, & had a happy, long
marriage. Others have gone through relationships, been in long term
partnerships, but they're yet to experience true love.
Meaning: You shouldn't take advice you get from "experienced"
people as the Holy Gospel.
Those with experience will probably be able to give you their point
of view, but you hafta realise that life, & love, doesn't
follow guidelines
