Instead of trying to prevent lots of missteps, read these tips and find out what you should know about love when you’re still young. Find comfort in knowing that everyone goes through these things, and we all make it out on the other side.

與其試著避免犯錯，不如看看這些關于愛情年輕的你應該知道的事。每個人都會有這樣的經歷，而我們最終會好起來，這樣想就舒服多了。

1. You’ll make mistakes

你會犯錯

It’s ok to make mistakes when you’re young – especially in love! Love isn’t a rational feeling, it’s something that makes you feel the highest of happiness during the good times, and the lowest of sadness during the bad times.

年輕的時候犯錯是可以接受的，尤其是在愛情里。愛情不是理智的，好的時候它會讓你體會最大的快樂，糟糕的時候則會讓你感受最大的傷痛。

You’re going to date people you shouldn’t; you’re going to have arguments that aren’t worth having; and you’re going to say the wrong things during these fights. It’s ok because you’re going to learn from each of these mistakes, and that will make your true love that much sweeter.

你會愛上不該愛的人，你會為了不值得的事情爭吵，在爭吵時你會出口傷人。這都是可以接受的，因為你會從這些錯誤里學習，讓你真正的愛情更加甜蜜。

2. You can be selfish

你可以自私

It’s normal to be selfish when you’re young, because you need to figure out who you are and what you want from life. It’s acceptable to break up with someone over something that might seem a bit petty just because they don’t seem right for you – because they probably aren’t!

年輕的時候自私是正常的，因為你需要發現你是誰，你想要從生活中得到什么。和某些人因為某些瑣事分手只是因為他們似乎不適合你，這也是可以接受的，因為他們也許真的不適合你。

When you’re in your teens and twenties, you need to focus on yourself, because you need to discover who you are and what your career will be. You need to work on things like this, including loving yourself, before you try to make a partnership work for the long haul.

年輕的時候，你需要專注于自身，因為你需要探尋你是誰，你的職業生涯會怎樣發展。你需要為這些事情而忙碌，包括在發展一段長期的關系之前先愛自己。

3. You can be single

你可以單身

And you should be! Too many young people think they always need to be in a relationship. If you have this mindset, then you’re more likely to date people who are bad for you just so you’ll be with someone. It’s ok to be single! No one is watching you and keeping track of how long you’re single versus how long you’re in a relationship.

而且你應該單身!很多年輕人認為他們需要戀愛，如果你有這種心態，你很有可能為了找個伴而和不合適的人約會。單身沒什么不可以!沒有人會盯著你，記錄你單身的時間和戀愛的時間哪個更長。

It’s important to be single so you can focus on your own life; when you do find that special someone, your relationship will be that much better because it will be special. You’ll be a well-rounded person, and you won’t have a history of hopping from relationship to relationship with no substance.

單身也是重要的，這樣你就可以專注于自己的生活。當你真的找到那個特別的人時，你們的關系會更好，因為它會很特別。你會非常圓滿，而且你不會留下一段毫無意義不斷更換戀愛對象的歷史。
