If you’re the one he wants, he won’t ever want to chase you. He’ll make you his starting player and clear out his bench. 

“

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 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.

“

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. 

“

You should stop chasing him when you start crying over him. 

“

If your feelings for him are as strong as his feelings for you, then a chase will never happen.

“

Do not mistake their physical attraction to you as a desire to enter a relationship with you. 

“

You have to nudge him to talk to you. Sometimes he drops out of your life. When that happens, you like his posts and upload attractive pictures of yourself to social media in the hopes he will pay attention to you again.

“

I still want you. I still have feelings for you. But I am not going to keep chasing after you.
