Settle for the guy who makes you feel like you’re the only person in the world who matters to him. Settle for the guy who puts you first and treats you like a priority. Settle for the guy who makes time for you, even if it’s only a few minutes in his busy day just to tell you he’s missing you.
Settle for the guy who has a good heart, who doesn’t take advantage or make you feel worthless, especially when you’re fighting. Settle for the guy who has good morals and values, and also respects yours. Settle for the guy who is kind to strangers and treats the janitor with the same respect as his boss.
Settle for the guy who boosts you up instead of tears you down. Settle for the guy who thinks your beautiful no matter what you’re wearing or not wearing. Settle for the guy who gives you that extra push you need when you’re about to give up. Settle for the guy who supports your dreams and wants nothing more than to see you achieve them – that’s the kind of guy you should settle for.
Stop settling for the guy who only comes around when it’s convenient for him. Stop settling for the guy who booty calls you at 2 AM when he’s drunk and lonely. Stop settling for the guy who always gives you backhanded compliments and makes you question everything. The guy who doesn’t show up or call when he promised. Stop settling for the guy who constantly digs and digs away at little pieces of you that he wants to change, making you feel like you’re not good enough the way you are.
Stop settling for the guy who doesn’t give a shit about who you are as a person and settle for the guy who could listen to you talk for hours because he wants to know every little detail about your life.
Stop settling for the guy who is unreliable and untrustworthy and start settling for the guy who you can count on to not only show up at your house on time but also get out of the car and knock on the door.
Stop settling for the guy who makes you feel like you have to fight for his attention and start settling for the guy who makes you feel like you’re the center of the world.
You don’t need the guy who only half shows up, you don’t need the guy who only comes around when it’s convenient for him, you don’t need the guy who bails on you last second. Fuck that guy. Stop settling for guys like him and start settling for the guy who actually gives a shit about you.
Settle for the guy who lights your soul on fire and warms up your heart with passion. Settle for the guy who lets you be wild and bold like you were born to be, who doesn’t try to control you or shrink you down to fit into the palm of his hand.
Settle for the guy who can keep his promises and honor his word. Settle for the guy who makes you feel secure. Settle for the guy who makes you feel like you are enough in your own skin because you are, and you always have been.
Settle for the guy who loves you for you because you’ll never be settling a day in your life.
THOUGHT CATALOG
Settle for the guy who doesn’t try to change any of the little things about you because he respects who you are and he knows all your little imperfections only add to the reasons he loves you.
