When you’re in an almost relationship, you never talk about the future.
You avoid making plans too far in advance.
You ask each other over at the last minute.

But when you’re in a serious relationship, your favorite topic is the future.
You ask each other over at the last minute.
You spontaneously hang out whenever you could find the time.

And younevertalk about where your relationship is heading.
You talk about what kind of house you want to buy together.
You talk about which friends you want in your wedding party.

You talk about what you think your love will be like when youre old and gray.
When youre in an almost relationship, you hide your feelings.You dance around the truth.
You act like you care less than you actually do, because you dont want to look desperate.
You dont want to come on too strong.
So you play pretend.
You want to treat them the way they deserve, so you never withhold affection from them.
You examine every facial expression they make.
You dont let the doubt fester.
You dont let your questions go unanswered.
Are you allowed to introduce them to your parents?
Are you allowed to stay the night?
You know exactly what they expect from you.
You know that you are committed to keeping each other happy.
When youre in analmost relationship, you are always confused.Constantly questioning.
Unsure of how the other person feels about you.
Unsure if you are ever going to become an official couple.
Unsure if all of the work youve been putting into them is actually worth it.
But when youre in a serious relationship, you dont have a moment of doubt.You feel completely comfortable.
Like youre exactly where youre meant to be.
Like you have found your home.
