I absolutely love people. I love engaging people wherever they are in life. I love helping pull untapped potential out in others. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
When I see a person struggling, all I see are the possibilities. ✨⠀⠀
⠀⠀
This is great attribute to have in friendships, but horrible in relationships. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I’ve accepted men that can add absolutely nothing to a relationship with me and seen how I can help “make” him a better person. ♀️♀️⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I’m assuming I’m not the only one, so let me tell you, this NEVER works. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If your man has no house, car, or job, he needs a mentor, not a girlfriend.⠀⠀
⠀
Real talk, he needs ambition, and good sex won’t give that to him. ⠀
⠀⠀
You can encourage others all you want, but you can’t change your partner. You’ll feel like you’re raising him, and he’ll resent you for having what he doesn’t have. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Be patient. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Stop hosting “Build-A-Man” Workshops and wait for the one with his life in order to pursue you. ⠀It’ll be worth it!! ⠀
⠀⠀
⠀
When I met Chance, my mindset was, “Give as much as I can so he’ll stay...”⠀
⠀
I held him all the way down, so much so that I found myself being trafficked by a man that I loved. ⠀
⠀
That’s an extreme example, (read how it started in my book) but some of y’all are giving your all and forgetting that relationships are about give and take. ⠀
⠀
You shouldn’t be anyone’s doormat to get them to want you, value you, or decide that you’re wife material. ⠀
⠀
Stop running around, taking care of him like his mama to keep him ⠀
⠀
Dating is a time to get to know someone, find out your mutual likes and desires, find out if you’re compatible, find out if you really “like” each other’s company, and slowly but surely, build a future from there where you both pour into a healthy relationship. ⠀
⠀
If you’ve jumped past dating to “wife-ing” STOP!! ⠀

Drop if you’re dating with purpose!!!
