People are always second guessing whether or not the new boy or girl they met likes them. It should not be hard to tell.

It seems like relationships these days are more of a competition to see who seems like they care less than actually treating the person they like with love and respect. If someone is genuinely interested in you, you will know. You won’t have to sit at home in your bed reading your texts to your girlfriends trying to interpret what they mean, or questioning whether or not you should even respond.

You shouldn’t have to worry about what’s going to happen if that girl or boy went out to the bars and met someone else or why they are only answering with one-word texts. If they want to be with you, nothing should stop them from that. Not what their friends might think if you guys are seen together, or if you’re up all night on the phone, they should want people to know they like you. They should want to impress you instead of trying to make sure you like them more than they like you.

If you can’t tell that they like you, then nine times out of 10, they don’t. You have become convenient and you fill the role of the person on the side they are going to use to fill their free time until they find the person they actually feel the way they should about. Stop chasing after people that aren’t going to make you feel like you are worthy because relationships aren’t meant to be a game.

There’s a fine line between playing hard to get and not wanting to be gotten. Stop letting this generation ruin the way you see people and don’t waste any more time wondering if you’re going to be the one for someone. When you do find that person, you will know. They won’t make you guess.
