The older you get, the more mature you become when it comes to relationships. Instead of trying to control their every move, you’re more focused on them being social and going out into the world feeling good about themselves. You learn how to support someone, rather than isolate them to just you. Sharing the attentions of others, and being less possessive. It’s a social world, it’s impossible to maintain a relationship, fully isolated, there has to be some boundaries set. Getting your alone time with someone, while trusting them when they are out in the world on their own. Always being someone that they can come back to. Be a rock, not dependent on one another to fulfill every need in life. There is so much more to do, than just one on one time, you dont want to get bored of each other. As Ive gotten older, Ive learned how to balance my time, from my time loving someone special. It may not always be a full blown serious relationship, but Im learning to be more independent. As you get older, people tend to want to settle down less, who has time for a serious relationship anyways. But dont sell yourself short. There is always a balance, just dont wear yourself thin chasing someone that you love or admire, make them come to you. When they come to you, thats how you know that you are loved and thought about, not by begging for love and attention, waiting on them. The right person will text you back, or text you first, try to schedule plans with you, support you and compliment you, want to spend time with you, and thinks about you often and doesn’t let too much time pass between seeing one another, that to me is a good relationship. With work it’s hard to spend everyday together, but soon enough it may develop more into an everyday thing. I have always dreamed of having someone to sleep with every night, say good night to every night, who will love me endlessly, and without a doubt, know that I am someone special to them, without feeling compared to others. Someone who is secure with themselves, will go out of their way to pay attention to you, and make time for you. So dont worry too much about those that dont, as you get older you start picking the right people, and know yourself well enough to not let yourself fall for sex only relationships, you are worth more than that.
