We all make mistakes when it comes to dating. You just need to be able to recognize these mistakes and make the proper changes.

I didn’t know if you would want to see me again.

You don’t roll your eyes when they start talking about their feelings. You don’t leave the room when they cry. You don’t accuse them of acting overemotional. You don’t tune out when they are talking too much.

My love life matters to me.

This doesn’t mean the relationship is bad or wrong.

Love was gentle, but I wasn’t. Love was right but the person wasn’t.

We fall in love or so we think, just so we can fall out of our fear of being single.

Am I capable of finding real love again?

Maybe you would teach me your patience and I would teach you poetry and maybe we could last forever, but I’ll never know. 

I finally realized that there’s a simple explanation for what I want… I just want a grown ass man.
