Be A Priority, Not An Option.

Dating is hard. Some would say that is an understatement. Provo is filled with an immeasurable amount of options when it comes to dating. So let me ask this, how do you become a priority when there is a sea of options?

First off, don’t settle. You should be treated like you are a priority, not an option. When you are dating someone you shouldn’t have to wait for them to take time out of their day for you, you should be pursued, don’t settle for dating someone who views you as an option.

Second off, view those you date as a priority. How can you expect someone to treat you as a priority if you aren’t treating them as a priority? Look, dating does have an aspect of ‘keeping your options open’ and a part of dating is see who will be a good fit for you before becoming exclusive. But that doesn’t mean you should be treating those you are getting to know as options. It’s kind of like that old golden rule, ‘Treat others as you want to be treated’.

Make time for the people you want to know better, be present, don’t be afraid to make someone your priority. Be vocal about it. I used to view being treated like a priority as a fairytale, like it was something that wasn’t realistic. But being a priority is very much so a realistic thing, I know it is because when I care about someone, over time, they become my everything. And that is something that both people in a relationship should be upheld to, making each other a priority.

Don’t settle for being an option when you should be a priority. Because you deserve it.
