Do not settle for anything less than what you know you deserve.

To the girls who give their time and energy to people who do not reciprocate the same effort.

The story seems simple.

Girl meets boy, boy meets girl.

They meet, exchange numbers, go on dates, and then a relationship.

Not in my case, and maybe not yours either.

If youre like me, you may not be the one to make the first move.

In my head, step one to something more.

I talk to this person.

Texts, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, anything to be able to really connect with them.

I ask questions, they ask questions, seems like a really great start.

Then its the hanging out.

In any scenario when it comes to hanging out, I have bent over backward for this person.

One thing leads to another and we kiss, you hold my hand, there is an intimate connection.

Yet, my efforts never seemed enough.

Questioning why I was neverthat girl.

Here are the results.

Guess all that talking and hanging out was for nothing, huh?

If you want a relationship, tell them that.

Put all your cards on the table.

Let them tell you what they think/want and then you decide what to do next with that information.

Now, if you get an answer like the one I got, you have a choice to make.

There are no guarantees.

How long can you really be in this situation with this person for?

Be honest with yourself.

I wish that I was.

Lesson number two.Something to soothe the blow, you dont need to cut this person from your life.

Will it be better for you?

But if you choose not to, give yourself space from this person.

Give yourself the opportunity to separate yourself from the situation momentarily, you may see things more clearly.

Think with your head, and not your other body parts.

Youre two people who mutually like one another doing stuff.

Do not settle for this title, if its not what you want.

You deserve to be with someone who wants to be with you.

You deserve to be with someone who is sure about you.

You deserve to be someone who makes the effort to see you, to talk to you.

You deserve to be more than a situationship, you deserve a relationship.
