We all know that stage of “talking” where you’re getting to know someone and it may or may not lead to being in an exclusive relationship. Well, I for one and I’m sure I’m not the only one, think that the exclusivity should start at that stage, not just when you finally decide to be in a relationship with that person. What do I mean exactly? I mean you shouldn’t “talk” to more than one person at a time. It’s common sense, guys. And I really do mean guys, as in male, because it seems like you are a lot guiltier of acting this way than females. Not to say that girls haven’t been guilty of it either.
Call this preaching, but I’ll just call it a piece of friendly advice. Don’t “talk” to more than one person at a time. Point blank.
Now you’re probably thinking at this point that what I’m saying is bullshit and that you’re not doing anything wrong, but you know damn well your behavior is the bullshit in this situation. You’re seriously doing a disservice to yourself as well as to these girls. They are not stupid and they will find out. Trust, they will find out, you will get caught, and someone will get hurt. As a matter of fact, more often than not both girls will get hurt. You think that you’re doing nothing wrong by being involved with these girls at the same time? Well, you’re wrong. You’re disrespecting them both. If you had any ounce of care or respect for either of them, you wouldn’t be treating them that way. You wouldn’t treat them as an option. Honestly, if that’s the way that you look at the situation, then you really don’t deserve to be in a relationship let alone are you even mature to be in one. I do not say this in haste. You see, the moment that you look at another person as merely an option, something you can easily just toss if you like the other better, then you’ve just proven that you’re not ready for a relationship. You’re not ready because you don’t even see that this kind of mentality is fucked up.
I’d like to see how you would feel if you were to find out that you’re just another item on a menu. You’re not good enough to be someone’s one and only choice. Nope, you’re not important enough to be a priority because you’re just another option. I’ll tell you right now, from experience, that it sucks and it hurts. If you’re willing to hurt someone like that without so much as a second thought, then you definitely don’t deserve to be in a relationship with them and they definitely don’t deserve to be in one with you either. They deserve far better than you.
And to the ones who’ve been victims, remember this:
You deserve much better.
