Relationships

Don't lower your standards for someone you don't love!

All I'm saying is, don't settle for less.



  • Say you like this guy (or girl) because they're really attractive, but is vain and self-centered. Sure, we all want to hang out with a hot guy/girl, but don't like them for the wrong reasons. Beauty is only skin deep, as they say. If you think you can change them, you can't. I don't care how sure you are you can change them, you won't, and if you do................Well, you won't. Once they find out what you like, they're going to play the part with you, but when you're gone they will go back to their normal self 99.9% of the time, so in the end it's a total waste of time. Find someone you love for who they are and who loves you for who YOU are and stick to them. That way, nobody has to change and it's a completely honest relationship.

  • Don't date someone you don't actually like. All that's doing is hurting the other person and getting their hopes up.

  • Dating isn't supposed to be used to "look cool". Dating is finding someone you like for who they are and then testing the waters to see if they are the one you will marry in the future. Basically, it is paving the road to marriage. Sometimes you hit bumps in the road, which is okay. You're there to help each other make it smooth. All of this leads back to wasting time. Don't bother dating somebody you aren't serious about. Think about it this way: By wasting time with someone you don't feel that you actually love, you're just delaying the time that you'll meet the one you DO love. ;)

  • Love isn't always based on sex. If someone is pressuring you to sex when you don't want it, they don't love you...they're using you, so I suggest you get out quickly. They're not respecting your decisions, and as you may know, respect is a huge factor in a relationship. Say you're that person who's "waiting for marriage". Someone who loves you will wait with you, not just use you for the "pleasure", so don't give someone what they want just so they won't leave and you'll be "alone". That's just sinking to their level. Don't compromise your morals for someone else. (If you don't care to wait until marriage, it is totally up to you. This is an example.)



  • Leading me to my next point, IT'S NOT BAD BEING SINGLE. Being single is not a weakness! It's being patient enough to wait for what you deserve (quote by someone I don't remember LOL :) ). It also gives you the time you need to step back and think about yourself for once instead of focusing on someone else. That's what dating is isn't it? You're looking out for the other person. That can be kind of stressful.


Again, DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS.


Think about your relationship right now.


don't lower your standards for someone you don't love!




Okay, so I may have missed a few things I wanted to say but maybe I'll remember them for another MyTake :)


Love you guys, and if you have any opinions or want to correct me PLEASE DO, but please be respectful.


P.S. Dating and even marriage is not a give 50%, get 50%. The point is to offer your whole self to your partner and hope that they give their whole self to you too. Just think about that and let that sink in....

Don't lower your standards for someone you don't love!
