Are You Taken Seriously?
Dating For Todays Man

No man or woman should ever feel like it's a struggle to be in a relationship with someone. It doesn’t feel good to care for someone that could care less about you or to be taken for granted.

American philosopher William James said that the deepest craving of the human nature is the need to be appreciated. This is why I felt the need to write a list of what to look for to help indicate whether your love/crush is taking you seriously or not. Before I start, I would like to clear something up for my readers.

Do not underestimate your worth, ladies and gents. There are a lot more people in the world you’ll meet other then just the ones in your community. The US Census Bureau stated approximately 7 billion people are on planet Earth, give or take the undocumented people that are not counted.

A CNN article on the world’s population stated a quick analysis of how to describe how big 7 billion really is. So, you know how there are nine zeros in 6,000,000,000, just like there are nine zeros in 7,000,000,000. If you counted every number in between them, it would take you more than 30 years to do so. After that analysis, get a grip people and put your foot down if you aren’t happy!

And so we begin...

If they don't text you back or text you at all, but when you're with them they are always on their phone, they aren't taking you seriously. Texting someone first all the time can get really boring and irritating. It doesn't take too much to send a short text to someone in wishing them a good day or something.

If you're putting in more work then they are, they aren't taking you seriously.

If they only text you late at night, they aren't taking you seriously.

If the only time you hang out with them is at the clubs or a party every Friday or Saturday night, they aren't taking you seriously.

If almost every conversation is sexual and you just recently started talking, I'm sorry to say that they aren't taking you seriously.

If the conversations are always all about them and they don't really ask you any questions about yourself, your day, or life in general, they aren't taking you seriously.

If they say one thing but do another, they aren't taking you seriously.

If they make you drive to their place all the time or have you drive to take you both out, they aren't taking you seriously.

If they don't have a car, they should at least offer you gas money, or they aren't taking you seriously.

If they don't take you out in public around their girl and/or guy friends, they aren't taking you seriously.

If they only Snapchat you but never text you, they aren't taking you seriously. Trust me, many people look at Snapchat as a way to not get caught in anything they say, do, or show.

If it's hard to keep their attention, they aren't taking you seriously. It's your own judgement, if they have ADHD or something beyond those medical lines.

Some people may not agree but in KWALK's world, if someone hasn't let you meet their parents or family within three or four months of dating, hook ups, or talking, they aren't taking you seriously.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
