Whether we are actively dating or not, it behooves every single person to draw up a list of non-negotiables for a potential future partner. This list may include things like values, attractiveness, success, intellect, and spirituality. However, let's not forget about the most important part of those non-negotiables: you! You may have spent a lifetime where you felt you had to earn love or prove yourself to be lovable. But this is simply not true. Rather than begging or working so hard to prove to a potential partner that you are worth chasing, how about we decide now that if a person isn't showing clear interest, that is a non-negotiable. Love should not be difficult, confusing, and leave you feeling like you will be rejected by simply having basic human needs. You deserve more.
