Stay Single Until You Find Someone Who Puts Effort Into Loving You

Stay single until you find someone who is willing to put work into the relationship. Someone who is mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come along with loving you. Someone who realizes laziness has no place in a committed relationship.

Stay single until you find someone who treats you well without expecting brownie points or a pat on the back. Someone who treats you well because you deserve it and he wants to see you with a smile on your face.

Stay single until you find someone who puts effort into conversations with you. Someone who listens when you speak. Someone who puts his phone down when you walk into a room.

Stay single until you find someone who puts effort into making you feel included. Someone who invites you out with his friends. Someone who takes you out to dinner with his family.

Stay single until you find someone who puts effort into the bedroom. Someone who attends to your needs. Someone who gives as often as he receives.

Stay single until you find someone who puts effort into planning dates. Someone who chooses the place and time so you are not stuck making all the decisions. Someone who pays attention to what you want to do on weekends and makes it happen.

Stay single until you find someone who does as much for you as you do for him. Someone who understands relationships are a two-way street and should never become one-sided. Someone who recognizes your worth and makes sure you recognize it too.

Stay single until you find someone who puts effort into loving you every single day. Someone who makes you feel appreciated for all of the little things you do instead of making you feel like you are taken for granted. Someone who makes sure you realize how loved you are instead of making you wonder whether anyone cares.

Stay single until you find someone who puts effort into every aspect of your relationship. Someone who texts you in the morning to let you know you have been on his mind. Someone who picks up snacks for you when he goes shopping so you always have something in his fridge to eat. Someone who spends hours searching for (or handcrafting) the perfect gift for you because he believes you only deserve the best.

Stay single until you find someone who does the dishes and laundry when you are having a rough day so you get a chance to relax. Someone who sprays on your favorite cologne before meeting up for a date with you. Someone who offers to drive you and your friends to the club so you don’t have to take an Uber. Someone who calls you when he is running late at work so you don’t worry about him. Someone who gives you compliments on your smile and eyes, along with your soft heart and hard work.

Stay single until you find someone who puts effort into pursuing you and puts effort into keeping you. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
