You have seen this girl before. She is absolutely gorgeous. Her intelligence is above average, and she breezes through classes. She is grounded in her values, and family is extremely important to her. She has a heart for God, and wants to glorify Him in all she does. She has a car, a job, and pays her bills without complaint. Friends want to be around her, teachers like her, and she has a personality that you want to be around. Every girl in this world has some or all of these qualities. However, you typically see this girl dating a complete loser. Why is that? She has everything, so why is she wasting her time with someone who is clearly not valuing her the way she should be valued?

Now, I do not want to come off as bashing the entire male population. Men are great and are important in society, but there are some losers out there. You know who these guys are. They have their license, but not a car. So, you are stuck being his personal chauffeur every time you want to go out. Jasmine was not expected to pick up Aladdin on her magic carpet, and you shouldn't either. This guy talks a really good game, but does not follow through with any actual actions. It sounded so sweet when he said he would take you out for your birthday, but were you really happy when instead you were taken for fast food when he realized he couldn't afford to take you out.

Admit it: you deserve better. The problem is, you still stay with this loser. Snap out of it! It is so not worth spending any more time and energy on someone who is not at your level. Take it from me; I dated multiple people and gave way too much of myself for someone who was not even worth the time of day. It is so much better to be single and enjoy life with your friends going out and having fun than spending time fighting with someone or trying to fix something that is broken.

A great word of advice is this: If your momma does not like him, he's probably not the one for you. Also, if your dad is not a fan, there's usually a good reason why. This should give you pause. At this age, your parents probably know you better than anyone else, certainly better than a boyfriend whose been in your life for all of six months. Let's face it, in the end, your parents really want what's best for you.

If your man is not treating you like that princess you deserve, tell him to hit the road. There is a prince out there for you, and you are wasting your time with a toad. Put on that tiara, set those expectations higher, and start acting like the valuable woman everyone else knows you are. Girls...don't date losers. You are worthy of so much more.
