She is going to put in all of her effort.
She has never told another person she loved him before she knew what love really felt like.
To her,I love youis a serious phrase.

She refuses to toss it around.
She is going to put in all of her effort.
She is going to try her hardest to keep the relationship healthy.
She has nothing against one-night stands andfriends with benefits but she stays away from them if she can.
She would rather put her energy into someone who feels the same way about her.
She doesnt want to fall for someone and have a one-sided, unrequited love.

She experienced enough of that in high school.
Now that shes older, her standards are higher.
Her tolerance for fuckboys is lower.
For years, she has been the person her friends ran to for relationship advice.
The person who heard all the dirty details about the dumb thing someones boyfriend did or didnotdo.
Since she has been a listener for so long, she has learned some things.
She knows the red flags by now.
She knows what a toxic relationship feels like.
She knows how to avoid them.
It took strength to attend prom without a date.
It took courage to walk the halls without holding someone elses hand.
She survived high school without a boy to help her.
Those single days gave her the chance to think about what she really wanted from a relationship.
It gave her the ability to love herself, even when she felt alone.
It gave her the time to focus on more important things and to mature into a responsibleadult.
