Se ele realmente te quer, ele vai perseguir-te

If a guy you like is interested in you, he will do whatever it takes to win you over. Don’t comfort yourself with ideas he’s just a rapaz tímido and that’s the reason he doesn’t chase you.

Isso é simplesmente ridículo. A verdade, por muito dura que seja, é que ele provavelmente não está interessado.

It’s better to settle this ‘dilemma’ once and for all. Get out of the bubble you’re living in because you’re only making it worse for yourself.

Accept the fact that he is not that into you—and that it is totally fine. Afinal de contas, nem toda a gente é para toda a gente.

Nenhum homem consegue resistir a não agir quando vê algo que deseja. Os homens são assim.

Os homens adoram perseguir e, se lhe chamou a atenção, não vai esperar mais um momento e vai persegui-la porque a quer.

Nenhuma distância é suficientemente grande para impedir um homem de conseguir o que quer, quando realmente o quer.

You have to stop chasing wrong men! You’re only breaking your own heart and he won’t give a damn. It’s all the same to him. He will have a good time.

He will lead you on and play with you for as long as he wants and when he gets tired of it, he will just turn around and leave. No regrets. Nothing. But you—you will be crushed and broken.

Deixar de se apaixonar por homens que têm de pensar duas vezes se gostam de si ou não. Deixe de se apaixonar por homens que arranjam constantemente desculpas diferentes para não a conhecerem.

Isn’t it suspicious that every time you want to see him he has a ‘thing’? Either he is working or his family is in town or he had promised something to someone earlier. That is just not right. That is total BS!

Um homem que gosta de si e quer passar tempo consigo deixará tudo e todos só para estar ao seu lado, para a olhar nos olhos e para lhe dar a mão.

A man who wants to be with you will be constant. He won’t act differently when he is and isn’t around you. He won’t send you mixed signals and make you beg for his attention.

Ignore boys who want to make a complete fool out of you. Ignore those who don’t care, who only want something on the side. They are not worthy of your time nor your love.

Tens de guardar essas emoções para alguém que realmente as mereça. Tens de guardar o teu amor para um homem que vos persegue e nunca vai parar porque ele quer-te mais do que tudo neste mundo.

Deixar o amor de meia-tigela. You don’t need it. You don’t deserve it.

Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by someone not worthy. Don’t give him the time of day. Don’t let him play with your emotions and with your mind.

Don’t let anyone trick you because you’re smarter than that. You know what you want and you know what you deserve.

Do you really want an immature mama’s boy to come and destroy all that you’ve been working on your whole life?

Keep your self-worth and keep your respect because you’re going to need it.

Because there are so many battles and crazy adventure before you. Don’t waste your energy on someone who doesn’t deserve it. You know what you’ve got to wait for?

Wait for a man, a real man and not a boy. Wait for someone who erases all the insecurities you have, someone who won’t make them even bigger.

Espera por alguém que grite o teu nome a plenos pulmões, alguém que se orgulhe de ti onde quer que vá.

Wait for someone who will understand that even you can’t smile all the time, that even you have to have your bad days.

Wait for the man who won’t use your bad moments against you, someone who won’t take revenge because he is frustrated. Real men don’t do that, only boys do.

Real men respect you despite the not so great things you do. Real men understand that life isn’t an easy game to play.

Mereces tudo isto e ainda mais. Foge do amor unilateral. Nunca corras para alguém que tens de perseguir. He’s not worth it.

Believe me, staying alone is so much better than being in an ‘almost’ relationship, than chasing someone who plays with you.

Staying single is healthier physically, emotionally and spiritually than getting your heart broken by someone who never truly cared for you, someone who will let you down because he wasn’t serious about you from the beginning.

Fique sozinha porque o tempo trabalhará a seu favor. Haverá um homem suficientemente corajoso para perseguir uma mulher tão bonita e forte como tu.

Ele merece-te. Espera por ele.
