Falling in love is easy. It’s the keeping it together part that takes consistent choice, day after day.
The more effort that is put into a relationship, the stronger it is. The only way to maintain a relationship is by investing time and energy into one and having the other person reciprocate.
If they don’t put at least the same amount or more effort into spending time with you, then it will fade out. I’ll often meet a lot of people, put some energy into meeting them in person, and then seeing where things go.
While relationships can strengthen or weaken over time based on a variety of circumstances, such as moving on, the general rule is to display effort in the right contacts and then see which ones blossom into strong lasting relationships.
Effort matters and as you get older you find out who your true friends are by their display of effort, despite their lack of time.
