Mr. Right will come when the time is right. Although it may feel like you just missed him, he's still out there. Sometimes it's better to be alone than in bad company. Here are 7 unhealthy signs that you're not ready for Mr. Right right now:

1. You're still playing games.

Don't push someone's limits or test them to prove their love for you. Don't waste time by leading a potential partner on and giving them the wrong idea.

2. You're afraid of commitment.

Being single is fun, but if you're seriously dating someone- you need to understand that it is a commitment. If you're not ready to only see one person seriously and invest time in them, keep swiping.

3. You're a huge flirt.

Sure, having multiple options can be a great thing, but people can be hurt along the way.

4. You always have a guy on the back burner.

Don't use people only for your benefit. This go-to guy has feelings too, you should consider them. Don't just date someone to not be alone; is it better to be alone or in bad company?

5. You're in love with the chase.

Of course, it's great being courted, but when will you want things to be more serious and exclusive? When will you let a man love you and only you?

6. You're looking for a man as if it's a hobby.

Finding a mate shouldn't be your top priority. Let him come to you- and don't be desperate or lower your standards.

7. You're waiting for a guy to make you happy.

You need to find joy in the life you're already living. You have to understand that no guy is going to make you completely happy all the time.

"I'm gonna wait for Mr. Right to come along and take my time. I'm just enjoying just having a little me time, you know? But it's not that I'm not taking applications." – Vivica A. Fox

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
