"There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie,
There's a fine, fine line between 'you're wonderful' and 'good bye'
I guess if someone doesn't love you back, it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between Love and a waste of time."
-Avenue Q
There's a fine, fine line between 'you're wonderful' and 'good bye'

But there's a fine, fine line between Love and a waste of time."
-Avenue Q
You may be a teen, who is just starting to make sense of this crazy little thing called love, thinking that LOVE is always cool and always great, with your Knight in Shining Armor riding in a white horse, you have your own version of a Cinderella story and all other Hollywood movie cliche, but you're too afraid to try it out.
You could also be a thirty year-old single lady who had already been through half-a-dozen break-ups and is feeling hopeless that you will ever have your own "happy-ever-after" relationship.
Or you could be a pretty young lady who just had a recent heart break and is not facing the mirror asking stupid questions like, "Am I not pretty enough?", "Is she better than me?", "What have I done wrong?" or worse, "Do I not deserve to be happy?" (well, the last question is foolish, of course everybody do! No matter how ugly you are - no erase than, they say all of God's creation are lovely - but yes, no matter who (or what?) you are, you deserve to be happy!)
Or lastly, you can be someone who thought you've already moved on from your previous relationship and you've already learned that most men are jerks and they deserve some sort of "revenge", your thinking of be-friending his/her current love interest and is planning to sabotage his/her life (if that's the case, then you haven't moved on yet!)
You may be one of the persons mentioned (or none of the above), but since you are reading this, you probably are interested in the four letter world spelled L-O-V-E. Now, the question is, is love really a waste of time? No it's not! As what the song or that picture above says (please forgive my spastic fingers for such an ugly hand-writing - I'm just trying to make this thing as personalized as possible), there is a fine line between the two. Meaning just one wrong move, and you will get thrown unto the other side of the line - and you're "soon-to-be-happy-ever-after" will be a complete waste of time. But more often that not, it is actually worth the try. But never believe in that old-school cliche saying " There's no harm in trying" - of course there is! If you try to learn ballet, you may break your legs. If you try to learn swimming, you might drown and die. If you try falling in-love, you MIGHT get a broken heart that often cause irreparable damage (no erase that, it is always repairable, it just takes a while). But never be afraid to get a broken heart! As you grow older, you will still get your heart broken one way or another, whether or not you are in a relationship. After all, it is when you fail that you will learn more.
Love, like life is a trial-and-error. You will fail here, but it doesn't mean you'll let yourself be stacked. You have to move forward, meet someone new and try it all over again. Is there a guarantee that it will last? There's none. You just have to keep wishing that it will work the next time around. Somewhere, somehow, you will meet someone who will be worth it. You will cry a bit, or sometimes a lot, bit at the end of the road, you're not going to count how many barrels of tears you've cried for that person, what will matter the most, are the happy days you had, and knowing that despite all the trials, the two of you still made it through. If in the end, you both, or one of you will realize that it's not meant to be, you will go separate ways, your heart will break again. But if it had been a happy and lovely journey, then it's worth it. If may a waste of your time, but it could be worth the waste.
As what this bitter-sweet song says, "You'll never know till you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb". There may be a lot of painful risks in trying, but it was the people who tried that reached the finish line with victory.
