7 Signs you are just settling for him and are not really in love!

Sometimes, we just choose to settle for relationships don’t feel too great. Even if things are fine, you always feel that they could be better beyond this. Women get too bothered about settling down at the right time. Well, blame it on the hormones and also the societal pressure. And hence we choose to settle for an average life. We believe that something is better than nothing. So, settling for something or someone that we are not completely involved seems to be like the easiest path. More like staying in our comfort zones. That’s how we end up being with people in unfulfilling relationships.

So, just so as to escape the responsibility and efforts that come with newer relationships, we try and convince ourselves that the one we are with right now is probably the best that we could have and therefore, this is what we should settle for. Average relationships usually share this fate. To be honest, this is not how you make the most of what you can have in this life. You deserve to be happy and not just settle for anything. Therefore, it is okay that you take your time and find the right one for yourself, the one who truly makes you happy.
