It sounds obvious, but too many people end up in relationships that make them feel drained.
Wish you didnt have to get dressed and drive all the way down to their place.
You shouldnt be annoyed when they text you three times in a row.

You shouldnt be bothered by their affection.
You probably shouldnt be in a relationship where going on dates with them is considered a chore.
Your person shouldnt be the center your world revolves around, but they shouldnt be a nuisance either.

You shouldnt be grabbing dinner with them, but wishing you were with sippingdrinkswith your friends instead.
You shouldnt be watching movies with them, but wishing you were with an ex instead.
You shouldnt be in a relationship where yourealwayshappier without them than alongside them.

You shouldnt date someone who you dread seeing.
You shouldnt date someone who adds extrastressto your day instead of enhancing it.
Because you want to spend as much time with them as humanly possible.
Because you dont care what it takes to see them.
You would cross the earth for them if you had to do so.
Date someone you are actually excited to see on weekends.
Someone you actually consider a close friend.
Someone who you not only love, but you alsolike.
