8. Priority

The saying is very true – don’t make someone a priority for you if you are only an option for them!

This one is going to be harder for me to stick to as I tend to brush things off or make excuses, but I am going to try hard for this.  This goes for anyone in my life too, not just someone I am dating.  And I will absolutely admit that this is all about how I feel, if I feel like I am a bother to you then you aren’t showing enough interest and there is no point.  You make think you are not doing anything wrong, but that actually doesn’t matter to me anymore.

I don’t want to sound selfish, but I have been hurt too deeply by people just throwing me away like a piece of trash.  People who don’t care about you on the same level are always going to hurt you.  It can be the other way around too, if you don’t care about someone at all – don’t string them along.  Make sure they understand your priorities and don’t trick them into thinking otherwise.
