I always thought that line, “it’s not you, it’s me” was really cheesy but upon further thought, it’s so true! I know so many great gals, soo many wonderful girls (and yes, guys), who gets left behind and I wonder, what is going on here? These girls are fabulous, with a great sense of humor, funny, nice, generous and yet they are still single. I have learned that it really isn’t us anymore, but it’s about if the person they are with are ready or not.
This is what I want to tell my girlfriends: It’s not you, it really is them. No matter how great you were together, no matter how perfect you compliment each other, no matter how much fun you had together or how much his friends liked you or your friends liked him, if the relationship doesn’t take that serious turn, commitment or just lasting, it’s not you, it’s them (granted that is what you wanted). Women have this tendency to keep working on something until it can’t be done anymore. They say that women have a lot more will power than men – and its true, otherwise God would have allowed men to bear children.
So girls, It’s not you, its because he’s not ready – and there isn’t anything wrong with that but if that is what you want, then you gotta move on sista and find someone who is.
disclaimer: this obviously doesn’t apply to EVERY relationship, and this only does not apply to relationships that had serious issues etc. but more along the line of “I didn’t see it coming…”
so true, but so hard to stop the ugly cycle of holding out for him to be ready. dating sucks.
