Real Love

Real Love Revolution 2013 “How do I know if it he or she really loves me?” This is one of the questions addressed by the speakers Jason and Crystalina Evert during the event, “Real Love Revolution 2013”. Nowadays, people, especially the youth, mistake lust for love. They get into relationships and immediately fall deeply in “love” with their partner.

One cannot also take back his or her virginity if they already gave it to someone.
