“Chemistry can make incompatibility feel like a challenge you’re supposed to solve instead of information you’re supposed to accept.” Well, DAMN. I currently cover pop culture and trending news here at BuzzFeed. “I’ve dated too many people who make it their life. Invite them out? ‘Can’t, I’m watching the game.’ They are legitimately addicted. Most of them end up gambling on their teams, too.” “This, a thousand times! If I’d known this when I was in my 20s, I never would have gotten married. People can change, but go ahead and assume that who they are now is who they will be in 20 years. They may never grow up.” “Seriously. It’s the height of inconsideration to make someone anticipate and prepare for your presence, only to unceremoniously let them down. If someone is truly important to you, you don’t constantly do that to them.” “Do people really do that? I always reply if I’m interested. If the other person hasn't replied in 24 hours, then I take it as a bad sign and assume it's a fade.” “Sure, they do. I used to follow silly dating advice like this when I was younger. Now, if I enjoyed our time together, I text my date a minute after I leave.” “Yepppp! The same problems I noticed in our first month together ended up causing big trouble during our second year.” “Red flags just look like flags when you're wearing rose colored glasses.” “Chemistry can make incompatibility feel like a challenge you're supposed to solve instead of information you're supposed to accept.” “Sometimes you just get a feeling about someone. It could be in your gut or in your lizard brain, screaming at you to run.” “I also lived this many times. Here’s my advice for those who want it: Never let it slide. You don't have to address it in the moment, but you need to talk about it. A good person will be apologetic and appreciate that you told them. Then, they’ll do better. Slips can and do happen, but they should be infrequent. If bringing up the disrespect would cause a fight, then they don't care about you.”
