When you are in love with love, you are in the relationship for its benefits, and you cower away from more difficult aspects.

Learn to be okay with just being okay.

2. You think of ways you will love them more than you think of the ways you hope they will love you.

Whether or not they pass by a mannequin will not, and should not, influence them to rape or not. But do you know what it will do? It will make women feel as though they are to be hidden, ashamed and victimized because of who they innately are.

3. They bail on things that are important to you.

What happens in a world where we don’t try to control one another, but live in harmonious acceptance of one another? Those in power are debunked. They will have to learn to be loved and revered for who they are, not what position they hold.

2. You’re kind of avoiding introducing them to your friends.

Love is not difficult, it’s the other crap that gets in the way that is. You have to be able to identify the difference if you want to figure out who the right person for you is.
