Love is wonderful, or can be, but make sure you find someone who offers more than the occasional text. Those who think someone likes them because they make the smallest effort possible to send a text every few days, are living in a dream world. You deserve more than waiting on the bench until the other person is ready. You deserve someone who thinks about you so often they text multiple times daily and care what you are up to in your life. You deserve someone who is happy to write long paragraphs and meaningful texts out of love. Basically, you deserve someone who does not bench you until he wants you in the game, but that always wants you on their team.

This will be someone who plans fun activities and dates that you can both enjoy, even if it is just a late evening walk in the park. This will be someone who embraces commitment, not shies away at any hint of such a thing. This is someone who wants to be seen in public with you, day, or night, not just in bed when they are bored. You need someone who is interested in your heart, mind, and soul. This will be a man willing to scream from the rooftops that they are with you, but also whisper it into your ear as you cuddle together. He will take you by the hand and take time to introduce you to family and friends after the right amount of time. This is the type of romance that keeps you up at night because you cannot turn off the wonderful feelings. You will feel like the luckiest person in the whole world because you found that someone special. Your reality will become even better than your dreams. This is the lack of sleep that you do not regret. You will know throughout your being that who you are with is genuine.

Maybe most importantly, you deserve someone who is ready to be with you and you alone. He may reach out and hug you or kiss you before you say a word and he will keep coming back over time. You will have no choice but to fall head over heels in love. When apart, he will send you a good morning or good night text. This person loves out loud and makes love magical and fantastical. This is the type of love everyone deserves. It may take a few failed relationships to understand exactly what you want and deserve, but once you find it, you will know without a doubt. Never settle for less than you deserve, but be willing to give just as much as you receive. Your significant other may not be into public displays of affection, but they are willing to show and receive love in other ways, be open to this. You will never regret it.
