Hear me out.

I'm a nice girl.

I'm a respectful, and respectable, woman.

I'm sure as hell not a pushover.

But, I will give guys as many chances as they need to get it right.

People aren't perfect. We screw up, we make mistakes, and we need people to understand that.

Especially in love, we don't always get everything right. We are young, naive, and don't have the life experience necessary to have everything go perfectly.

That's why we need to give our special someones a chance. (Yes, that includes the fuckboys, too.)

I know you're probably thinking that I am insane, and that anybody labeled a fuckboy isn't the kind of guy that should get one chance, let alone multiple chances. But, back to what I said: People deserve a chance to get it right.

What if your boy screws up, and in your "talking" phase talks to someone else, flirts a little, and you catch them? Is that worth throwing in the towel? Is that worth giving it all up? Because of one mistake?

No, and that certainly doesn't mean they deserve the fuckboy title that we toss around so freely.

What if your ex, that you still love dearly, turns himself around and becomes a better person after the breakup? Should your friends calling him that dreaded f-word stop you from giving him another chance and being happy again? Should your own perceptions stop you from finding love?

No. And a stupid title certainly shouldn't either.

Give people chances. Understand that humans aren't perfect. We screw up.

I am willing to give a guy that broke my heart one million chances, and then one million more, as long as he keeps making an effort. That doesn't make me stupid, that doesn't make me careless, and that doesn't make me unworthy of respect.

If anything, that makes me a respectable person, because I am well aware that we don't always get things right on the first try. That's a far cry from the girls who toss someone away the minute they screw up.

We are young, and we're all going through life in the same mess of confusion. The sooner you realize that, the better you'll be.

Give that fuckboy a second chance. Doing so doesn't mean you lack intelligence or respect.
