Concrete Signs You’ve Been Waiting For The Wrong Person

You don’t want to hold onto the hope someone will change their mind about dating you. You don’t want to let them string you along with promises about how they aren’t ready for a relationship right now, but that will magically change soon. Here are some signs you’re waiting for the wrong person and should let yourself move on:

They keep telling you a relationship will happen soon — but it never does.

Don’t let someone string you along with false promises. If they refuse to put a label on your relationship but promise that will change soon (and keep the timing of those promises vague), then they might never give you what you want. You might be waiting for someone who has no intention of showing up the way you want them to. Be careful because you don’t want to give someone too many chances. You don’t want to wait too long for their love. The right person will be there for you from the start.

You have been missing out on opportunities with other incredible people.

You don’t want the wait for this one person to get in your way of finding the one who is meant for you. It’s not fair for them to expect you to stay single for months and months while they decide whether they’re ready for a relationship yet. If you haven’t made a commitment to each other, then you don’t owe them anything. If you want to try a relationship out with someone else, then do so. After all, there are no guarantees this original person will change their mind and date you later anyway. They might be all talk.

They aren’t following through on their end of the deal.

If you’re under the impression that it’s only a matter of time until you become an official couple, but they are dating around and seeing other people, then that’s not fair to you. You shouldn’t be a backup plan or a last priority. You deserve to feel like their one and only. There are plenty of valid reasons why someone would want to wait a while to start a relationship with you — but if they’re seeing other people in the meantime, they probably aren’t being all that genuine. They’re probably keeping you on the backburner in case other situations don’t work out.

You are ready to settle down, and don’t really want to wait any longer.

You are allowed to want a relationship right now, just like your person is allowed to want to wait. No one is in the wrong. You’re simply incompatible. Neither of you should sacrifice what you want because there are other people out there who will give you what you are looking for. You don’t have to put all your hopes into this person. They might have been a decent partner for you — but they aren’t the only partner for you. Although it sucks when timing is the thing that’s keeping you apart, you need it to have a thriving relationship.
