We have become a sloppy bunch of people. We say things we don’t mean. We make promises we don’t keep.
I’ve learned that anything in life worth having comes from patience and hard work.
Meeting someone you like and dating him is supposed to make you feel better, not worse.
Is he making you happy? I don’t mean some of the time, on rare occasions, not that often, “but the good still outweighs the bad.” Does he make it clear in his actions every day that your happiness is important to him?
He’s just not that into you.
People don’t respond to what you tell them; they respond to what you show them.
The only reason people compromise themselves is because they don’t feel strongly enough about themselves and are looking for another person to fix it for them, either sexually or emotionally. That’s why it is imperative that you get to a place where you like yourself, even if just for the added bonus of weeding out the creeps.
People come together and move apart. It’s the age-old ebb and flow of relationships. Some are shorter journeys, and others were meant for a lifetime. That goes for friendships as well. We.
Being a winner in life means finding a way to keep yourself in the personal space where you’re being the best and most vibrant you instead of the smallest you. That is the secret to success in anything you want to do in life. That means not comparing yourself to anyone else and concentrating on you. Because when your self-esteem is in the shitter and you don’t feel worthy, you look to others for validation, you settle for crappy things and all you get is crappy things and who wants that?
I don’t want to be in a serious relationship” truly means “I don’t want to be in a serious relationship with you” or.
Your happiness is the most important thing in this life. If you are not happy, you are of no use to anyone else.
When a guy is into you, he let’s you know it.
He’s that guy that’s so tired from work, so stressed about the project he’s working on. He’s just been through an awful breakup and it’s really hitting him hard. His parents’ divorce has scarred him and he has trust issues. Right now he has to focus on his career. He can’t get involved with anyone until he knows what his life is about. He.
What did heartbroken people do before phones? Come home and stare at the mailbox? Stand in their driveway and wait for the stagecoach? Run to the Western Union to see if anyone had Morse Coded them? Stare into the sky waiting for the messenger pigeon?
Hey – do you remember that movie when the girl waited around for the guy to ask her out, then made excuses when he didn’t? Then she slept with him when they were both drunk, and basically just hung around until they were kind of dating? Then.
Cheaters never prosper.
The harsh reality is that even if you have everything else in common, the one thing you don’t have in common is the belief that this relationship can work.
The historical resentments and patterns that can demolish a marriage usually start out as something seemingly unimportant. An assumption here. An accommodation there. An omission, an unclear boundary, a selfish act, an inconsideration, etc. These little things, these seemingly tiny tremors, have a rolling aftershock that can gain significant magnitude over time.
More often than not, dating a man’s potential is the long road to disaster, so listen to who he says he is and take him at his word. If you can love who he is now and not have your attraction be based on who he might become, then you’re in good shape. If you’re not, well, then you best keep looking because most people have different aspirations than you might have for them.
Maybe there are men like that out there, maybe there aren’t. This is the only thing you need to remember: Mr. I’m Just Not Up For It is exactly the same guy as Mr. I’m Just Not That Into You. Both guys don’t want to be with you. One of them may say he can’t be with you, but it’s still the same result. He isn’t.
I’m going to just tell them now that I love them, blow them in the bathroom or whatever impulsive thing that you know you shouldn’t do, because that will either make him want to be with me more or bail, but at least I’ll know now!
