5 Reasons Why I Don't Want a Casual Relationship

Casual relationships have never been worth it. The one casual relationship I was in ended badly. It was a waste of time and I ended up getting my heart broken. I prefer having a committed and serious relationship, not a secretive relationship where his family has no idea you exist and neither do his friends.

1. He isn’t just with you.

Being in a casual relationship means you aren’t committed to each other. Even though I’m not the type of person to be with more than one person, the guy thinks its okay to see other people because we aren’t committed. I want a relationship so I am committed and serious with the person. I don’t want a joke of a relationship.

2. He doesn’t think of you ever.

When I was in a casual relationship, he was the one who was the center of it. He never thought of me, only of himself. He would basically come over when he felt like it, whenever he drove me he’d act like he didn’t know me. He was lazy and rude and blunt. He would hurt my feelings constantly. He would say sorry then say he was really into me, so I’d forgive him. He was lying.

3. He doesn’t actually have feelings for you.

The guy I was in a casual relationship with would say he loved me whenever he saw me and say he was into me. But, he never told his family or friends about me, and when we walked to his car together he’d act like he didn’t know who I was. He was not into me and he was embarrassed of me.

4. He keeps you a secret and is embarrassed of being with you.

He did not like people knowing we even talked, or hung out. The only person who knew we had a thing was the one mutual friend he and I had who was in a class with the two of us. He would just text me during the class, wouldn’t even talk to me in person. The only time he talked to me was when we got in his car to go for a drive.

5. He treats you badly.

When you aren’t in a committed relationship, the person you’re with has no consideration for your feelings. So, they tend to treat you like crap and not care. Most people just think about themselves and do what they want. They know you have feelings for them so they know you’ll stay. They treat you like crap but know you’ll stay because you’re too into them to leave. Casual relationships are toxic. Usually one person always catches feelings and the other person isn’t into them at all. It sucks because all you want is to be noticed and cared for and loved, but you can’t get that out of a casual relationship.

All of these reasons are why I do not want a casual relationship. I just want someone who will care for me and love me for who I am and be committed to me, not someone who only cares for themselves.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
