  • Relationship advice for women. -A friend sent this.

    I know a BUNCH of women who need a reminder (including yours truly) of this stuff. Dating is icky. LOL



    If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
    If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
    Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
    Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
    Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
    Slower is better.
    Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
    If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle.
    If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
    The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
    Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
    Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
    Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
    If something bothers you, speak up.
    Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
    You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
    Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
    Never let a man define who you are.
    Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
    A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
    All men are NOT dogs.
    You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two-way street.
    You need time to heal between relationships... there is nothing cute about baggage... Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
    You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complementary... not supplementary.
    Dating is fun... even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
    Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always know where You are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.
    Never move into his mother's house.
    Never co-sign for a man.
    Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.


    Being too nice gets you no where.

      That one sounds too much like playing games to me! (btw, I know I am not a woman, but I can't stand playing games).

        Unfortunately, Rich, it my own experience it's true. Creating a bit of distance or maintaining a bit of distance, especially in the beginning stages is a GOOD thing. It's not about playing games, it's about maintaining a sense of independance and making sure the other person understands you're not at their beck and call. I know when I've allowed myself to be in the position of being available every time he called, he ran right over the top of me and my time was not perceived as being valuable. <shrug> Just my $.02.

          I understand what you are saying Brook. I too used to find that the case, but I suppose that I am quite blessed in my relationship with my current gf that games have never been played, not even in the opening weeks of our relationship. It has just flowed so naturally.

          I guess I am just lucky.

          of course, though, she knows her place, and she knows that I am the man and what I say goes..........

                  We're a lot less likely to hold the things we know about you against you. However, screw up and we'll remember that for LIFE.

                  Him: "I can't believe you smashed the passenger side of the truck!"

                  Her: "Oh yeah? I can't believe you came home from the bar with your friends and I found some woman's number on a napkin stuffed in your pocket while I slave away here at home and do things like your laundry for you."

                  Him: "That was EIGHT YEARS AGO!!!"

                  Her: "And your point is?!!!! What you did is worse. I can't even believe you. At least it was just the truck that got messed up and not a heart."


                  We win.
