14 Love Lessons We've Learned From Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez's love life has been the talk of the town since she famously started dating Justin Bieber back in 2010. She had a few flings after the two ended their romance, but she's been dating The Weeknd for months now, and it seems like she couldn't be more in love. Selena and The Weeknd shocked the world when they attended the Met Gala together, debuting as a couple, and she even joined him on tour. Needless to say, Selena knows what it's like to fall in and out of love. Most of her relationships have played out in the public eye, so it's no wonder she has learned a lot and is passing her wisdom on to others.

There Is No Such Thing as a Break in a Real Relationship

You Don't See Love Coming
"I think love is blind. You don't see it; you don't hear what people are saying or what you're saying. You don't see what you're doing. All you see is the person in front of you. That's it."

Take a Chance
"The older I've gotten, the more I've learned that I have to open myself up to all opportunities. Maybe I'll get burned and not meet the right people, but I won't know until I do it."

Honesty Is the Most Important Thing
"You have to have honesty when you're living this lifestyle because of the distance imposed when working — you are separated so often. You have to be super honest and open. That is key."

Heartbreak Isn't Forever
"You can't shut down. You can't say, 'What can I do to make this go away?' You have to let it be painful and get through it. Every day gets better. Because when you're in love, you kind of give everything and make that person your life. So every day, you get more and more of yourself back, and it feels better."

Your First Love Isn’t Necessarily the First Person You Were Actually in Love With
"I maybe had a first love and had my heart broken, but reflecting on it, I don't think that was love. I think as I'm getting older and having more in-depth relationships, maybe I'll experience it. At the moment, I don't know, exactly, if I've been in love."

You Have to Believe in Love
"I'm in love with love and totally believe in marriage, but that's not even on my radar right now. I am not putting energy into dating."
