No shade, but I’ve realized you can give someone the world and they still might not be your person. That’s been one of the toughest lessons for me. I’ve given my all to people who simply weren’t meant for me.
If you lack emotional intelligence, we can’t be in a relationship. I’m not teaching you how to apologize, how to take accountability, or how to treat me with respect. These are basic qualities you should already possess before entering a relationship.
The dating scene is ROUGH but please know that settling is so much worse than loneliness. Because that's just loneliness without the privacy. Like great I'm still sad and longing for a deep, life-changing love but now there's someone in my apartment.
Open relationships are becoming more common, and while I respect everyone’s choices, I’m still holding out for something monogamous. It might take time, but I’m not giving up on finding the right person.
If you’re no longer interested in someone, let them know. Slowly distancing yourself, ignoring calls, and giving half-hearted responses hurt more than simply being honest and upfront.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous of people who find “their person” early on. I love being single and focusing on myself, but I’m a hopeless romantic. It’d be nice to go on cute dates, travel, cuddle, spend the holidays together, and grow old with someone.
Sorry not sorry, but I'm over my toxic & bare minimum stage. I love flowers, I like dates, I like reassurance, I like random gifts. I love being treated right.
