You put in as much effort as she does.
You try as hard as she does.
You care as much as she does.

Before the clock strikes midnight.
Instead of waiting until the last second to ensure that nothing better comes up.
You make it clear that she is one of yourfirst priorities.
That you dont want to miss out on your chance to see her face-to-face.
You delete your dating apps.
You erase your booty calls.

You dont make her wonder if there is someone else.
You dont make her feel like she is in a competition with other women.
You make her feel special, like she is the most beautiful person in any room.
When she goes out of her way for you, you thank her.
You let her know that her kindness is appreciated.
You dont let her feel neglected.
You dont let her feel stupid or clingy or desperate for how much she likes you.
More than that, you return the favor.
You put in as much effort as she does.
You try as hard as she does.
You care as much as she does.
When she is upset about something, you ask her whats been bothering her.
You listen when she speaks.
You value what she has to say.
You help her through her problems, even if you dont understand why they are bothering her so badly.
You show her consistent respect.
You show her your softest, mostsensitiveside.
When she sleeps with you, you stay the night.
You hold her close and cuddle.
You kiss her on the forehead and the back of the hand instead of only on the lips.
You are intimate with her in more ways than one.
When she asks you what she means to you, you tell her the truth.
You dont tell her that you really like her, but would rather keep things casual.
You make the decision to commit.
You ask her to be your official girlfriend.
You give her what she deserves.
You give her every piece of you.
You tell her the truth about how you feel about her.
You call her yourforeverperson and you mean every word of it.
