First off, good for you. I know how hard it can be to watch your friends date people and sit there all, “I’m just waiting to meet a good guy.”

I don’t think you know how many guys out there, who might be good guys, act like idiots in front of women. There a lot. Like….a lot.

It may seem like all the good ones are taken, but I promise you there is one out there for you.

I waited and waited until I met a nice guy before I started really dating. And you know what? It was worth it.

For every guy that complimented a physical attribute, just remember that you want someone who tells you how smart you are. How caring, thoughtful, considerate, and beautiful you are.

I didn’t have to text ten different guys and be confused about where I stood with each one. Because each one knew I wasn’t interested in them that way. Being honest about your feelings from the start is so important.

Wait until you find someone who texts you in the morning, afternoon, and night. Don’t settle for the random texts at 10pm when you know exactly what they are looking for.

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad.

I know. People will grill you about why you don’t have a special someone. You don’t owe them anything.

So when you feel like it’s just too much remember this:

I waited until I met a man who opened doors for me, brought me flowers, and was actually interested in me. People say no one still does that….no. The right guy will.

I found someone who brought me coffee in the morning when he knew I wasn’t feeling well. The right guy knows what you need.

Find the person who is content with pizza and Netflix. You don’t need to go out every night and hang with a million people. The best moments happen when it’s just the two of you.

Wait till you meet someone who makes you happy just being with them. It sounds so cliché but it really is the best.

Just keep waiting…the right person will come. It just takes time.
