Being a grown up means leaving immature people and notions behind, and looking for a man who is going to take care of you the way you REALLY deserve.
When you were little, you probably thought about the type of person you would become — and maybe even the type of man you would fall in love with. Or maybe you were the type of person who didn't think about love at all — or worse, getting married — until you were much older. Whatever the case might be, you are now at the age where you have to decide if the man in your life is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.

When you first start a new relationship, it can feel like puppy love. You two are all over each other — even making grocery shopping look cute (gag) — until your relationship matures and things start to get serious.
Next thing you know, you two are talking about moving in together and the possibility of getting married ... Okay, HOLD up. Is this what you really want? You deserve all the best things in life, but you don't want to rush into anything.
When you start questioning the seriousness of your relationship, it can be easy to second-guess the man you are with, too.
You should look for someone who takes your relationship as seriously as you do, and can see nothing but a bright future for the both of you. And guess what? If you don't already have that man, it's totally worth holding out for the right one to come along.
What if he doesn't, you ask? Well then you grow stronger, YOU become that person you've always needed (HINT: that's the whole point, really), and you do something really freaking AWESOME with your life. You don't need someone else to define who you are and what you do. Simple as that.
So these quotes are for all those women out there who may (or may not) have found the right man yet, but aren't afraid to wait a little longer so they know they're making the right decision.
