I’ve never actually been someone’s girlfriend. No official titles, no anniversaries, nothing to post about. But sometimes I feel like I’d be really good at it.

I’ve had a few situations—guys who say things like, “You’d be the perfect girlfriend,” or “No one treats me the way you do,” or even “I wish we could try again.” And every time, I catch myself thinking… if I’m so good at being there for someone, so easy to talk to, so thoughtful or kind or supportive—then why hasn’t it worked out with anyone yet?

It messes with my head sometimes. I want to believe that the way I love, the way I care, the way I show up for people means something. That I’m not just good in theory.

Maybe I’m waiting for someone who sees all of that and actually wants to choose me.
