Girls normalize saying "I really like you, but I refuse to romanticize a connection that is costing me clarity" & move on. Life's is too sure to spend it with a guy who isn't sure about you.
in relationships women are reciprocators, not initiators. you lead, she follows. you put in effort, she returns it. you make her feel good, she mirrors it. that's the only way it works.
Girl, normalize cutting a man off the first time he disrespects you. How many times does a man have to let u down before u realize that he's not acting out of character? That IS his character. Not caring about ur feelings or how much u genuinely care about him? That's who he is!
