All too often, as women, we wait for a man to show interest in us. You know what kind of woman you would be to shoot your shot and make the first move? The woman who is claiming her destiny. The woman who is in charge of her life. The woman who is confident. The woman who doesn’t let fear hold her back.

Courting looks different to everyone, but the main thing you can see, no matter what type of courting, is the effort they are putting towards letting you know that at least one person in the world cares about you and your well-being. Don’t take this lightly.

If you’re dating when you’re not ready for a relationship, make communication the first priority.

She never texts you first because she feels like she’s wasting her time.

If your love language is receiving gifts, it’s pretty simple to identify whether or not you’re with the wrong person. The wrong person for you is prone to forgetting to send flowers to your job on significant dates like birthdays and anniversaries. They are not the type to shell out a lot (or a little) money on “just because it’s Tuesday” gifts and those types of gestures are important to you.

I drink. Hell, I love drinking. If that’s not your thing, there is no harm done. Rule number one, though? Don’t make bad comments about alcohol, my drinking habits, or anything else that has the potential to kill my vibe. Just don’t do it.

Regardless of how she might sound so far, the ambitious woman believes in love. She wants to find love, but she knows exactly what she wants.

Dating someone who won’t ever change their mind about you means that even if things don’t work out they won’t forget or regret you.
