If someone cares about you, giving you affection and attention wont be a chore.

On some level we seek praise, attention, approval.

We long to be both loved and understood.

But somewhere along the way, weve made these rules for our relationships.

A very clear line between calling your lover on the weekend, and calling them twenty-five times.

Texting him first does not make you desperate.

Telling that special person you care about them is not clingy.

And asking for someones respect and attention does not make you needy.

I think sometimes we forget that simple factif someone values you, they will show it.

They wont play games, taking days to respond to your messages.

They wont ignore your phone calls just to call back later, pretending like nothing happened at all.

Because that persons just as much into you as you are into them.

So maybe youve been the girl who double-texts, the guy who leaves her morning messages.

If you like someone, tell them.

If youre interested, pursue it.

If youre longing for someones affection, be clear about what you think and feel.

Sostop apologizingfor wanting someones attention, for being interested, for giving all you have.

You wont be needy for the right person because theyll be right alongside you, sharing all they have.

Youre not needy for wanting a phone call, a text back, some sort of plan or commitment.

Youre not needy for asking where you two stand or what your relationship means.

Youre not needy for wanting the person you care about to be more present in your life.

And anyone who makes you feel otherwise is simply not the right one.
