Self Reflection of a Hopeless Romantic

Okay readers, so today I really decided to do a self reflection about why I am still single. To do this I talked to the past guys that I have been involved with and some of my best guy friends. Okay so it is supposed to be "self" reflection, but sometimes you just need a little research. It helps trust me, but make sure you are going to talk to people who will actually tell you the truth. Be prepared. It may hurt.

So what did these guys say? They said that my biggest problem was the fact that I did not have time for a relationship. I wanted one, of course, but I did not have time. I self reflected about it. Truthfully, I barely have time to sit down and eat a meal for 30 minutes let alone sit on the phone for 30 minutes talking to a guy. This is my problem. I don't have time. How can someone be in a relationship when they don't even have time to sit and talk on the phone. I can text. Of course I can. Who doesn't have 10 free seconds to send out a "hey I'm in a meeting right now, but I'll text you afterwards."? There are 86,400 seconds in a day. If someone tells you they don't have time to send out one text even saying "hey I'm super busy I'll text you when I can.", then there is something going on. I think my favorite thing is when someone cannot answer a text, but they can update their Facebook status from their phone...alert readers!

So how am I going to fix this? Well, I think 2013 is going to be all about me. I decided that I am going to start saying no to people, so that is a plus (read "saying no...yes...it's that hard" for more of an insight of why I may have no time...I'm fixing it I swear). So, if I have time, I can do things for myself, including having a guy in my life. Trust me, being in a relationship is one of the last things as a priority, but when you meet someone...someone who your insecurities seem to vanish with and you feel like for once, you would actually make that time for that person...you want to make that time and you want to put them as a priority.

So maybe I will always be a hopeless romantic and maybe, just maybe, I will learn how to set time for myself for things that I want to do...but until then, I guess it is just dating until the right guy for me comes along.

P.S. to all of my guy friends who gave me such great advice...if you are reading this, shout out to you!! You have been such a help and you are great friends!!
