16 Signs You're An Option, NOT A Priority

We hate to break it to you, but...

At one point or another, you've been on someone's hook. You think that one day, all of a sudden, this person will turn around and put you above everyone else, and it will somehow morph into a perfect relationship.

You're desperate for those few moments where this person makes you feel special, but then you feel terrible the rest of the time.

You don't want to be around when that person does find their priority. So, here are 17 signs you're an option, NOT a priority:

1. Almost all your plans with this person are last minute ...
2. You find yourself turning people down while you wait to see if he/she wants to see you.
3. And then you regret that you wasted your night waiting on them.
4. You're never the person they want to take to big events, like weddings.
5. Even when they're seeing someone else, they still try to keep you on the hook.
6. They almost always bail on things that are important to you.
7. It takes FOREVER for them to respond to a text.
8. You constantly feel like you put in ALL the effort.
9. They expect you to always answer when they call, but never answer when you call.
10. This sounds way too familiar: "We can't be together right now."
11. You're always making excuses for them.
12. When you try to stand up for yourself, they blame you for being needy.
13. You remember everything they tell you about their lives ...
14. ... but they never remember anything you say.
15. You're unhappy most of the time.
16. But you still hold on for those few moments you spend with them.
