Why You Keep Getting Stuck In Almost Relationships, Based On Your Birth Month

View Post

January

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you arenโ€™t sure how to turn them into more. You arenโ€™t sure what youโ€™re supposed to be doing differently in order to make someone want to move from being casual to being official. So you tell yourself this is good enough until you can figure it out.

February

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you have hope things will change in the future. You believe that this person will date you if you are nice enough, if you treat them well enough. But you canโ€™t make them love you. You canโ€™t force them to change their mind.

March

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you would rather settle for half of someoneโ€™s heart than remain entirely single. You are uncomfortable alone. But you need to remember, being single isnโ€™t so bad. Itโ€™s better than settling for less than you deserve.

April

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you are hesitant to ask for what you really want deep down. Even though you are interested in a committed relationship, youโ€™re scared to admit that out loud. Youโ€™re scared to voice your feelings in case they donโ€™t feel the same.

May

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you are non-confrontational. You donโ€™t want to put your foot down and demand that they put a label on the relationship. You donโ€™t want to risk losing them by telling them that they need to give you what you want or walk away.

June

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you keep falling for the same type of people. People who blatantly state that they arenโ€™t interested in anything serious right now. People who are bound to break your heart eventually.

July

You keep ending up in almost relationships because youโ€™re a people-pleaser. Youโ€™re more likely to give others what they want (a casual relationship) than ask for what you want (a serious relationship). You give and give without worrying about how much this person is draining you emotionally.

August

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you arenโ€™t stating your real intentions. You arenโ€™t being honest about what you want from a relationship. Youโ€™re going with the flow and allowing others to set the rules instead of establishing a set of expectations that work for you.

September

You keep ending up in almost relationships because youโ€™re scared to let down your walls. Youโ€™ve convinced yourself that this arrangement is good enough because you arenโ€™t sure whether youโ€™re ready for more yet.

October

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you keep giving the benefit of the doubt. You see the good in others and assume that theyโ€™ll do the right thing eventually, that theyโ€™ll see your worth and decide to date you. Your optimism gets the best of you and you fall for people who donโ€™t deserve you.

November

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you struggle with self-confidence. You arenโ€™t entirely convinced that you are worthy of love, so you donโ€™t ask for it. You settle for what you can get because you assume itโ€™s impossible to achieve more. You think way too little of yourself.

December

You keep ending up in almost relationships because you are too nice. You are too forgiving. You give out too many chances. You assume that others have your best interest at heart, even when theyโ€™ve proven that isnโ€™t the case, and you end up with your heart broken again and again.
