• 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. ALWAYS.
  Deal with your issues before
  pursuing a new relationship.
• 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
  a two way street.
• You need time to heal between
  relationships...
• There is nothing cute about
  baggage...
• 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
  doesn't give you everything that
  you need.
• Keep him in your radar but get
  to know others.
