Don’t Date People Who Don’t Actually Want To Be With You

and don’t date people who are into you just because they’re really into you if you’re not just as into them.  

I don’t know why media loves promoting that “convince them how awesome you are and eventually they’ll deign to love you” narrative (and they do it with both men and women.)  If you have to convince your partner you’re right for them, you aren’t right, and if they have to convince you that they’re right for you, you shouldn’t be convinced.

Christ.
