There are a lot of expectations between partners that get posted all over social media, all the time. The “get you a girl/boy who can do both” memes and the hashtags (like #relationshipgoals) are compiled of unrealistic expectations and can leave current partners feeling like they don’t do enough for their significant other, for example.

Stay S I N G L E until you have your life together. A relationship should enhance your life, it shouldn’t make things in your life harder.

Stay single until you meet someone who pushes you towards your dreams.

Stay single until you meet someone you can be yourself around, completely.

Stay single until you meet the one who asks about your day and genuinely cares.

Stay single until you meet the one who splits the bills with you at dinner, or who takes turns with you on who pays.

Stay single until you meet someone who is interested in your heart.

Stay single until you meet the one who prays for you, and prays with you.

Stay single until you meet the one who waits until you get into your apartment or car before they drive off after they drop you off.

Stay single until you meet the one you can ugly cry with, and have no shame.

Stay single until you meet the one who thinks you’re beautiful when you cry, and keeps reminding you of this while they wipe away your tears.

Stay single until you meet the one you can laugh obnoxiously with, and eat fettuccine alfredo with.

Stay single until you meet the one who drives your passion and encourages you.

Stay single until you meet the one who supports you in everything you do.

Stay single until you meet the one who strives to do better in their life, because they want to take care of you.

Stay single until you meet the one who has goals and dreams of their own.

Stay single until you meet someone who will give you honest advice about the top you picked out at your favorite store.

Stay single until you meet the one who you hate to say goodbye to.

Stay single until you meet the one who will do anything to see you smile.

Stay single until you meet the who shares their heart with you (and food).

Stay single until you meet someone who proves themselves to you. Not everyone in this world is who they say they are, or genuine in the way that they may seem.

Guard your heart. Love deeply. Be vulnerable.
