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 behaviour. 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 complimentary…
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 desn’t give you
everything that you need. Keep him in your radar
but get to know others.
