This is so relatable. My mom would tell me the same thing! I've definitely had those moments where I really really liked someone, or was trying to force a relationship while knowing that a particular guy wasn't the one I wanted to marry. I think it takes maturity to get to a place where you really are dating to find a life partner, and not just something short -erm. There's a huge difference between finding "Mr. Right" and finding a "Mr. Right Now." Great read!
