Respect Yourself!!

To guys and girls who are in "the dating game,"
please, for Pete's sake, start respecting yourself!
If you care about a person, and you try to treat them right, but then you see their true colors,
please, show a little self respect and do not keep chasing after that person! (This goes especially for the girls.) I don't care how much you love him! Girls should never have to chase a guy! He should be chasing you! And if he's too big of a douche to do that, then you really are better off!
"But I just miss him so much. I miss the sweet texts he sent me, and him saying he loves me, and someone to talk to, and how he used to hold me and kiss me."
Well, honey, if that's the case, it sounds like to me you loved the idea of you and him more than really loving him.
There are some things that should be deal breakers. If you can ignore a whole list of them, that's not a healthy relationship.
If he chooses something or someone else over you, then
YOU HAVE TO LET HIM GO. Yeah, it hurts. You may feel like your dying a little on the inside.
You've had your heart set on being with this person.
You've given everything to this relationship to keep it going-maybe for a long time. And now everything you've fought for is gone. All the promises that were made mean nothing. And you're back to square one.
Right now, there may be no one that understands you like that person, but you still have to let go.
Fight for what you love, but when what you love gives you up, you're just degrading yourself. Let him/her go. No one who gives up on you is worth it.
I know it's completely cliche to say, "Oh, don't worry. There are other fish in the sea. You'll find someone better!"
I mean who am I to say that there is someone better? The truth is no one knows.
Odds are in your favor that out of the 5,999,999,998 other people on this planet beside you and him/her you WILL find someone else who is more appropriate for you. But really who knows for certain?
I mean you're a beautiful, attractive girl/guy with qualities that deserve to be cherished and never let go. But who am I to say that you will find someone that puts you first that you can love as much as they love you?
NO ONE KNOWS FOR CERTAIN. You honestly may never love someone as much as you do this person. (It's highly unlikely, but possible.) But you have to let them go anyways. I know it hurts, but it's part of life.
Love.
Betrayal.
Loss.
Pain.
Everyone experiences loss. But you're strong enough to get through it. You don't need a significant other's help. You can make it on your own. You will almost definitely find someone else. And if you don't, you're still better off without someone who doesn't put you first.
A boyfriend or girlfriend is not everything.
Find something else to devote your life and love to.
Everybody needs a purpose.
Don't let some skanky ho or some idiot douchbag be your sole purpose.
Be a person by yourself!
Have friends.
Spend time with your family.
Flirt your freaking tail off!
Just have fun being you.
Anyone who under-appreciates your value can take a flying leap.
Stand up for who you are, and don't let anyone bring you down. Cause guess what! You're awesome. Whether that person tells you so or not.
Move on with your life.
Stop degrading yourself.
Have some self-respect.
You deserve better.
