It’s time to play everyone’s favorite game of: Do you really like him or are you just bored?! I understand times have been pretty rough recently, COVID and all. So let’s dive a little deeper into figuring out if you really want to date that guy, or if you just want some attention (no shame). I feel like this confusion stems from that point of singleness. Quarantine has been rough, I know. You’re just so bored of everything you want to spice it up a little. Whenever a new guy comes along of course there’s some level of excitement there, but where that excitement stems from is the real question.

Quality over quantity. Ask yourself how well you know him. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter how long you’ve known someone. It’s how the conversation flows that’s important. Do you genuinely enjoy spending time with him? Is he funny? How would you feel if they weren’t in your life anymore? These are the questions we need to be asking ourselves ladies!

 If you have any of the following thoughts before you text him:

I’m bored. I wonder what he’s up to?

Hmm I need attention. I’ll just hit him up.

I’m lonely… might as well text him.

You’re bored.

Ask yourself, how do you feel when you’re not with him? If you catch yourself feeling like you’re settling or like you’re just waiting for something better to come along, well move on. Unfortunately, it’s not fair to them as much as you hate being alone. Also, it’s not fair to you! Don’t waste your time on someone who isn’t worth it. Honestly, if you have to ask yourself if you should stop talking to him or dating him, the answer is probably yes. Don’t forget- you’re the prize queen.
