It’s better to know the truth.<\/p>\n
We all know that relationships are complicated. We’re no strangers to miscommunication and unreasonable expectations, and understand that they all have their place when it comes to modern romance.<\/p>\n
But relationship complications should be something you experience after the honeymoon phase wears off.<\/p>\n
If things are complicated from the get go, then it’s not a relationship you should be chasing after.<\/p>\n
While every situation is different \u2014 there will always, always be exceptions \u2014 I think it’s fair to say that if you’re struggling to make the potential relationship into a real one, then chances are, it ain’t gonna happen.<\/p>\n
There will be overbearing mothers, crazy ex-girlfriends, alcohol, job changes, distance, and a billion other things that could complicate a relationship.<\/p>\n
But one thing that should never be questioned or put under a microscope is your desire to be together.<\/p>\n
If a person wants to be in a relationship with you, they’ll be in a relationship with you. It’s as simple as that.<\/p>\n
But somewhere along the line we’ve complicated things. We’ve given people excuses for why they’re not committing, and convinced ourselves it’s worth it to stick around and wait.<\/p>\n
We’ve become doormats for people who have no interest in us being anything other than doormats.<\/p>\n
It’s not fair to you, and it needs to stop.<\/p>\n
If you want to be taken seriously and really wanted by the person you love, then you have to stop accepting less for yourself. You have to say no to half-assed relationships, booty calls and guys who “aren’t looking for anything serious but are open for more”. Because who the hell knows what that even means.<\/p>\n
There should be no doubt that the guy you’re seeing wants to be seen with you.<\/p>\n
If you’re unsure if you’re his girlfriend, than you’re probably not.<\/p>\n
But here are some other signs in case you need more reassurance to move on:<\/p>\n

\nIf you haven’t met anyone in his circle, it’s because he doesn’t want you to.<\/p>\n
\na.k.a. He’s not afraid to be seen with you in public.<\/p>\n
\nIf he only messages you through Facebook or doesn’t follow you back on Instagram, it’s because he doesn’t want there to be a trail connecting you together.<\/p>\n
\nAlso, “boo” and “bae” are not synonymous with “girlfriend.”<\/p>\n
\nBecause if you have to question whether or not you’re in a relationship, it means you’re probably not. Time to move on, boo thang.<\/p>\n
