Do you know exactly how Kelly feels?
Kelly Clarkson has some seriously catchy love and break-up songs (“My Life Would Suck Without You,” anyone? Everyone, right?), so you would think this is one gURL who’s an expert when it comes to love itself, right? Um, wrong. Kelly told USA Today in a recent interview that she’s never actually been in love.
She said, “I’ve never been in love. I’ve never experienced certain things, and I think that’s because I have this side of me that is shut off. Because I haven’t found anybody yet to open to that I feel like, ‘OK, you’re worth breaking down that wall for.’ I’ve never found that.”
We were a little surprised to hear that such an awesome singer hasn’t experienced her first love yet. Kelly is single right now, and she’s in no rush to get married — she’s waiting until her late 30′s. Reason? As she explains, “Because statistically, if you wait that long, you’re not going to get divorced.” Not exactly romantic, but you’ve got to respect how sensible this gURL is, especially compared to other celebs who run into marriages.
WDYT, gURLs? Have you been in love? Can you relate to Kelly? Would you wait to get married just for the better odds? Discuss in the comments.

I’ve never been in love. I can see how Kelly can write songs like she does, though. If she’s anything like me, she’s very logical when it comes to love. It isn’t brain surgery to figure out love. It’s simple to describe; almost like an art. I’ve liked several guys in my life (six, to be exact), but I know that I haven’t loved any of them. I have the feeling that I’ll know when I love someone. It’s nice to know that I haven’t swayed in my logic over the years. Quite a lot of girls believe they’re in love after a few short, flirty conversations (or better yet: a few short, flirty conversations mixed in with one short, deep conversation). It isn’t helpful that Facebook passes around pages and groups that say “If your crush exceeds two months, you’re in love!” I’m sorry, but that isn’t love. It’s just a long-term crush. We feel the incessant need to find love, and when a crush hasn’t turned into a relationship over a certain period of time, we like to believe we’re so devoted to this person because we’re in love. No, you’re not in love. It’s hard to admit, but trust me – you’re not in love.
