He's Just Not That Into You

When to get over a crush

He's Just Not That Into You
Giclee

I've come to accept that I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm a sucker for a good romantic subplot and seeing my friends be happy with their significant others. Throughout my life, I've dreamed and prayed that God would send me someone who shared my interests and understands me as a person.

As of late, I've recently developed a crush on an acquaintance who is the exact opposite of me. He's kind, funny, and has a good relationship with God, which is something that I find attractive. But our political views and hobbies couldn't be more different.

From the time I've developed this crush to the time I started writing this article, I realized that he's just not that into me. If you're socially inept, like me, then here are the telltale signs he's just not into you.

He bails when you have plans

If the guy you're crushing on is remotely interested in you, he'll show up when you make plans. In his mind, he's looking forward to hanging out with you and will show up to see you

He doesn’t initiate conversations

My friend has a beautiful and healthy relationship with her boyfriend because he asks her about her day and genuinely cares about her.

In past crushes, I've had to initiate conversations and make plans. At first, I thought it was my personality since I'm the one in my group of friends who plans everything. But if a guy relies on you to say when and where to hang out, he's not worth it.

It's also a bunch of bull when he says he's a "bad texter" when he won't text you back. No, he just doesn't want to put in the time to get to know you. He's not texting you back because there's another girl in the picture.

He talks about other girls

I should have stopped having any inkling of emotion for this guy when he brought a girl to hang out with me. What hurts the most was that she was young, thin, and beautiful, something that I'm not.

That should be the red flag that he's not into you, ladies. When he brings another girl along, he's telling you that your just friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

Realizing that you're not the one he wants will break your heart into a million little pieces. But, it's going to be okay in the end. My mom calls guys like this, fill dirt because they help you grow for the person you're supposed to be with.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
