We don&rsquo;t like to talk about the uncomfortable truth when it comes to love. We celebrate the thrill of falling for someone, the rush of passion, and the fairytale of finally being with &ldquo;the one.&rdquo; But what about when love doesn&rsquo;t come the way you thought it would? When the person standing in front of you is everything you&rsquo;ve been told to want, yet your heart feels like a stubborn guest refusing to show up? It&rsquo;s not something people prepare you for&mdash;the guilt of not liking the nice guy. You know the type. He&rsquo;s kind, dependable, the one who texts first, remembers your favorite things and treats you with the respect you&rsquo;ve always dreamed of. He&rsquo;s the antidote to every toxic relationship, every game-playing heartbreak, and every emotional rollercoaster you swore you&rsquo;d never ride again. He&rsquo;s nice. So, what&rsquo;s the problem? Why doesn&rsquo;t your heart leap when he shows up or smiles at you like you&rsquo;re the only person in the world? You wish it would. God, you want it to. But no matter how hard you try, there&rsquo;s no spark. No butterflies. Just&hellip; nothing. And here comes the guilt. It sneaks up on you in those quiet moments, whispering, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re the problem. You&rsquo;re being ungrateful.&rdquo; He&rsquo;s everything you&rsquo;ve ever said you wanted after all the heartbreaks and bad decisions. He&rsquo;s the opposite of every &ldquo;wrong guy&rdquo; who left you crying on your bathroom floor. And yet, you can&rsquo;t make yourself feel the way you&rsquo;re supposed to. You tell yourself to give it time. Maybe love will grow. Maybe you just need to let go of your unrealistic expectations or whatever rom-com nonsense is holding you back. But deep down, you already know the truth: feelings don&rsquo;t work like that. You can&rsquo;t make yourself fall for someone, no matter how perfect they are, on paper. Still, walking away feels selfish. People don&rsquo;t get it. They ask, &ldquo;But he&rsquo;s so nice! What&rsquo;s wrong with him?&rdquo; And you don&rsquo;t have a good answer. You can&rsquo;t say, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not him; it&rsquo;s me,&ldquo; because that&rsquo;s a clich&eacute;, and also&hellip; it feels true in the worst way. But here&rsquo;s the thing: staying doesn&rsquo;t make it better. It doesn&rsquo;t fix the guilt; it just swaps one kind for another. He deserves more than someone trying to like him back. And you deserve a love that feels undeniable, not one you have to talk yourself into. So, yes, it&rsquo;s messy and awkward and painful to let go of someone good to you. But sometimes, the kindest thing you can do for both of you is to be honest. Because the right kind of love doesn&rsquo;t just check all the boxes; it leaves no room for doubt. And that kind of love? It&rsquo;s worth waiting for.
