My goodness, get a grip sweety! You're panicking way too soon. 

At least that's what I had to say to myself. 

That urgency to get married, have kids and build a life with someone is so dangerous. We often forget just how much of a blessing this period in our life is. What period am I referring to? 

Being single and in charge of you!

You have to remember... Marriage and children come with an enormous amount of responsibility.  Responsibilities that consume a lot of your time and a lot of your emotions.  So learn to enjoy your life now. Enjoy life free of those responsibilities.  

Travel. Read a book series. Splurge on something extravagant. Pick up a hobby like crocheting or cycling. Write a book. Start a blog! 

If you're single? Date and meet people with no pressure. 

If you're in a committed relationship? Don't get consumed with the idea of "the next step". Whether it's marriage or just moving in together. 

Enjoy your life as it is now. Don't freak out at the fact that you haven't met the one! What's meant for you will be in God's own perfect timing. 

Be patient. Be yourself. Trust the timing of your life. 

And remember to always Trust Me... Because you know I Can't Lie.

PS: I just came back from Rome, Italy and Athens, Greece. Best decision I've ever made was to enjoy me! I'm a great time. Even all by myself. Just one of the many ways to enjoy this time in your life. 

Sound too familiar. Are you dating a guy that is sweet and charming in one breath. Adores everything about you in the other. And yet, the affection and attention last for only a day or two before he disappears. Drops in a week later with the same gig. And however brief the moments are, they are Everything. Enough to keep you around at least. Enough to keep you from walking away, throwing in the towel and moving on. 

I know that guy. We all have probably dated that guy. He's so off and on with his emotions that you don't know how he feels about you. 

You would like to assume he's busy. Or you accept that's just how he operates. You even hope that those five minutes are an example of how he really feels about you. Those 20 minutes are just him hiding his true feelings.

Maybe. Maybe not. 

Maybe he's just not ready. He's not ready for you. He's probably not ready for any woman. And hunny, if you're giving him a 100%; If you're there the full 20 minutes, you deserve it right back. If he's going through things and these things don't allow him to fully put himself out there and commit to you, you don't need to stick around. Don't wait for him to get his ish together. 

Let's all be honest. What women wants a "five minute man". [insert new black* emoji wink face]. Trust me... Wait for the guy that will adore you all the time. Not just days at a time. You know I'm right and you know I Can't Lie.
