You learn a lot about yourself when you're not in a relationship. But what I've recently learned, is that you can learn a lot about yourself when you're getting into and actually in a relationship is well. Starting to date again can be pretty interesting when you haven't actually dated someone in a while. Here are 25 of the steps I guarantee to happen.
1. You've taken a firm stance on boys.
2. You've decided that you are simply too busy and too fabulous to be in a relationship.
Dating is hard, so why get stress breakouts over it.
3. So you spend all of your times enjoying being single.
Which means drinking a lot of vodka and wearing sweatpants a lot (sometimes, usually the best times, these two activities are done together)
4. Until you bump into some guy (probably at the bar) that piques your interest.
5. And he's actually pretty cool
Didn't see that one coming.
7. Then you realize that your single girl persona is being threatened
Which is just insanity.
8. So you decide to just forget about him.
Because obviously that will solve everything.
9. But then you realize you can't get him out of your head...
10. Out of nowhere he calls you and asks you on a date.
Like a real one. With food. That he buys.
11. Then you realize you're going on your first date in a long time.
What do you say? What do you wear?
12. So you do some heavy duty stalking.
13. And you convince yourself that basically everyone that's ever been in his life is prettier than you.
So you start questioning his intentions.
14. But you go on the date anyway...
And it's actually really fun.
15. You start spending a lot of time together.
And you actually enjoy yourself.
16.Then, you realize you actually might like him.
WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN.
17. The next time you're drunk you confront him on his motives.
Basically just spelling out c-r-a-z-y.
18. He gives you a speech on how he actually likes you.
Which you're not totally buying yet but screen shot for evidence.
19. But you're not really sure how they could like you.
You can be a little hard to love.
20. So you turn to your therapist (aka your best friend) for some advice.
And she hits you right in the feels.
21. You suddenly feel very conflicted about your emotions.
ARE THEY BUTTERFLIES OR INDIGESTION?
22. But, like every good Disney movie has taught you, you decide to follow your heart.
And probably posted a selfie on Instagram with an inspiration quote from Pinterest.
23. And suddenly you're in a really annoyingly cute relationship.
A relationship that actually feels really good?
24. Now you can finally let your guard down.
25. And be really happy.
Which is really, really cool.
