If you’re quick to jump into all-or-nothing thinking, you’re going to have to consider the kinds of people you’re choosing.

I’m the type of girl that expresses her love verbally. I will scream it loud and proud that I fill cards for my boyfriend with romantic psychobabble.

Sometimes, you have to choose happiness over being right.

Part of who you are is who you surround yourself with. It’s not healthy to only spend time with your partner; you need to spend time with your friends, too.

If you feel yourself slipping into the habit of asking your partner for the fifth time today if they still love you, take a pause.

If love is a universal feeling, so is heartbreak. 

Instead of trying to make your partner see things your way, respect that you both see things differently, and that’s a beautiful thing.

Loving is a choice.

I can’t give my new partners my full trust. I can barely shell out half-trust.

I’ve dated many men with an avoidant attachment style. I’d say their love is, I imagine, equivalent to taking a hit of heroin. You’re on top of the world with it, but the rest of the time, you’re miserable.

Love isn’t about keeping score.

Whether you’ve been married for years or freshly swiped right on each other, romance is always the answer.

You don’t want to be with someone that requires you to be less than who you are.

Giving your partner a massage without any expectations is the ultimate act of physical love.

I’ve come to realize that the qualities that make for exceptional, stand-the-test-of-time partners are incredibly overlooked.

The mind is powerful, so much so that what you think and believe drastically changes your reality.

There’s no right way to date, but there’s definitely a lot of wrong ways.

If that’s not serious love, I don’t know what is.
