Date the asshole now.

Yes, I’m serious, date that guy you know is only going to hurt you in the end. Date him because all he will do is put you down and make you feel like absolute shit about yourself, he will make you question yourself and your self-worth. Date him because all your friends will hate him and your family will wonder what the hell is wrong with you, date him and never bring him around your friends or family out of embarrassment.

Date him because he will leave you wondering if he even cares about you, wondering if you will even get a text back from him, and wondering about if he is going to cheat on you today or tomorrow or any other day. Date him because he cares more about getting drunk and being the life of the party then he does about you. Give him everything, open up to him and let your guard down, start thinking this is going to be a stable functional relationship.

Defend him to everyone, tell them he is going through a hard time and he isn’t like that behind closed doors even though you know it’s ten times worse when you two are alone. Let him hurt you time and time again and make excuses for why it’s okay and that he won’t do it again, let him walk all over you and your kindness because that will be the best thing to ever happen to you. Date him because once you have been treated the absolute worst you’ll never want anything less than the best.
