This isn’t your only shot at a relationship. There are plenty of other opportunities waiting for you, so don’t worry about missing out on love. 

“

You might feel like it’s better to have someone around to compliment you and kiss you every once in a while, even though they’re never going to make the relationship official, than it is to be completely alone. But in the end, only having half of his heart is going to eat away at you.

“

You might think that you know exactly what you’re doing, you might think you can handle your heart, but you might be wrong. You might be setting yourself up for a whole lot of heartbreak. 

“

You deserve more than someone who cannot even send a text back. You deserve more than someone who half asses their effort.

“

You aren’t sure whether you’re completely wasting your time on this person or whether they simply need a little nudge. You aren’t sure whether you’re fighting for something worthwhile or something wasteful. You aren’t sure whether your heart has the right idea or whether you should start the healing process.

“

SCORPIO: Now that you’ve stopped letting your insecurities control you, now that you’ve been learning to love yourself, you’re not interested in chasing after anyone.

“

If you send the first text, you don’t have to mope around, waiting for them to text you. If you plan out the perfect date, you don’t have to worry about whether they picked something you’re both going to enjoy. In a way, doing all the work is easier. 

“

Relationships require effort — but you shouldn’t be the only one putting in the effort.

“

You don’t want to deal with unanswered texts and canceled plans and unmet expectations.

We have a hard time accepting our feelings are one-sided. We assume the other person must feel the same way about us, so we make up excuses about why they haven’t asked us out yet.
