I apply it to everything because we don't really learn from our successes nearly as much as our failures. I guess it depends on your perspective but I've always seen longing for something without action is far more detrimental than trying something you've always wanted and failing, especially with something as integral, rewarding and foundational to the human condition as relationships.
Meh sometimes trying is not worth it at all, we can build experiences, but because we're sapient we can learn from other's experiences, of course i'm not particularly talking about love, but for example i just sweared to myself that i would never take a drug, drink alcohol or smoke tobacco, i know from other's experiences and examination that will be addictive and bad for me.
