In the world of collegiate athletics, student-athletes traditionally have 5 years to play 4 seasons while receiving athletic aid. After time is up as a student-athlete it's time to move on and they can no longer compete or practice. AKA, the show is over, what's next? In dating the rules aren't quite the same but rules do exist.
If you have exhausted your dating eligibility rules it means one of the following has occurred:
A. You've taken way too much time to master the simple and basic tasks. There's no set timeline but there's definitely no reason to make someone wait for the "little things" that come with dating i.e: seeing each other, going out, communicating. How long does it take you to realize you are trying to fit a square into the space designated for a triangle?
B. You just don't get "it" or have "it" Meaning, you don't understand what all it entails to make a situation work. Every relationship is different and so is every girl, but most girls want the same thing: honesty, time, consistency and an attractive guy with a sense of humor. There's a reason why she gave you attention in the beginning. Don't forget what you did to get her and implement that in order to keep her. Please note that everything isn't for everyone and that goes with people. Someone just may not be that into you. Don't cry over spilled milk. What's for you will be for you.
C. My least favorite item on the list and the most important in almost everything you will do in life is this: you must always be accountable. If you say you're going to do something, do it. If not, trust that it will be forever stored in a cabinet in the back of someone's head. We may give you 1001 tries to get it right but we will never forget how many times it took you to "show up" or not "show up." We never get back our time so value when people choose to give you theirs and take heed when they choose to withhold it.
Every relationship is different and needs to be handled with care, be it romantic or platonic. It's important to treat people how you would like to be treated, but please note, it doesn't always work out in your favor. Everyone isn't worth your time and your effort and should never take you or your kindness for granted.
Above all else, where there is inquiry there is interest. Don't fool yourself into believing someone cares and is into you if their actions prove otherwise. There's only so far an excuse will take you. We make time for whom and what we want in life. Remember this: "It doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine."
Time is up.
