I am strong, independent woman, who doesn't need a man... but yet here I am. Drawn to him. His laugh, the way he smirks after saying something slick, and how he comes up with dumb excuses to see me because he doesn't want to admit, that he just wants to see me. This would all be so easy but it's not... because we aren't dating and we have established notype of label.

We act like a couple and do "couple things", in fact people think we are a couple. Although I know there is a reason we don't have a label, I have made a reason in my head based on what I have seen. There is possible a good chance that he isn't ready to settle down. Maybe other girls have his attention or in fact I know they do have his attention. You know that last reason would be a really good reason to leave him but when you do, he pulls you back and as crazy as it looks from the outside- to give your attention to a guy that doesn't have all his attention on you- it's way different for the person going through it.

It is very easy for the people outside of the relationship to see all the red flags and to tell you,"You deserve better." No matter how many time people tell you what they see, you choose to ignore them or set them to the side and let them just sit in the back of your mind. You forgive but don't forget. At the same time, the people telling you about the red flags, don't see the good side of whatever this boy has you going through. Because there are good moments, that's what keeps you there. Focusing on the good helps you outweigh the bad. But hey, they are just looking out for you. You see the red flags but you don't choose to accept them until he has shown you what people have been pointing out for so long. But the second you see him for what he is and choose to accept the red flags, it is a done deal. You are Superwoman and he was your kryptonite. You recover, hit your "glo up" and hand that boy his L, to the face.
