Life’s short.

It’s important to make the most of what time we have. And not waste it on things or people that aren’t worth it. Especially on people who aren’t sure about us.

With no long intro and time wasting, below are six signs that may indicate you’re not your partner’s first choice.

Attentiveness.

Attention is the currency of relationships.

When people come first, one thing they’re guaranteed is our attention. Sometimes the excuse for lack of attention is usually, “I’m busy.” Which is wrong.

Attention isn’t been available 24/7.

But been available when you’re available. Be present when you’re there. Listen to their words. Hear what they say. That’s attention.

But if you’re not someone’s first choice, paying attention to you becomes a struggle. An effort. Usually, because their mind is elsewhere, on things that are more important to them. They, therefore, become forgetful. Important moments to you, wouldn't hold much value to them.
