Intelligent girls see mixed signals for what they really are — proof that you don’t care about them as much as you should.

He makes zero sense. One day, he acts like he is falling in love with you. And the next day, he acts like he has better things to do than spend time with you. 

The next time an unknown number texts you, don’t answer it.

There are certain songs that I avoid at all costs, songs that I used to love, songs that I can no longer listen to without seeing your face in front of me. Without reaching for my phone and fighting the temptation to text you.

When you like someone you work with, it’s a risk to tell them how much you like them. If they don’t return your feelings, things can get awkward, because they can’t ghost you. They are still going to see you every single day. They are still going to be in your sight, which means you won’t be able to get them out of your mind. 

The creature had looked like an extended, floppy hand. Like the ones from the fifty cent machine I used to throw against the wall and watch crawl down the paint.

Being strong means that there are days when you would rather stay in bed, but you pull yourself up and start your day anyway.

If you don’t text her back, she won’t search her brain trying to figure out what she did wrong. She will say fuck you and lose interest. She will leave you in her past.

He doesn’t take milestones seriously. He doesn’t plan anything special for your anniversary. He doesn’t even buy you anything special. The same goes for Valentine’s Day and your birthday. He never even tries to be romantic.

They are stuck in their heads all the time. Sometimes they will get lost in a daydream and won’t notice what’s going on around them.

He always keeps me waiting, always keeps me hoping, always keeps me disappointed.

Never forget to slap her on the butt when you pass her in the hallway or hold her hand when you sit side-by-side on the couch.

When an Aries sees something that they want, they go after it without thinking twice. From the very first conversation, they create intense sexual tension with their dirty jokes and subtly sexual comments.

Intelligent girls know that it isn’t the end of the world when a boy takes too long to answer their text or opens their snap without replying or cancels plans at the last second.

Maybe he isn’t prepared to give you the love that you deserve.

If I wasn’t so insecure, I wouldn’t overanalyze silly little things, like if someone took too long to text me back or said they were too busy to see me. I would let it roll off of my back instead of wondering if I did something wrong, if I should have tried harder, if they secretly hate me. 

Date a boy who isn’t afraid of being spotted in Sephora with you and letting you sample colors on the back of his hand. A boy who will happily add tampons to his grocery list and pick them up himself.

Aquarius: Honestly, this sign is too lazy to cheat. They aren’t going to go through the trouble of swiping through dating sites and hiding text messages and sneaking out to meet up with someone else. Keeping up with one relationship is enough for them.
