know this NOW!

Hey all, I read this article and think it's amazing, its just as women no matter how much chick lit we dig into or memorize, all this advice always seems to dissappear when you really need it, but for what it's worth it's great to share.......ENJOY!

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 yourselves 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 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 your always readily available to him- he takes it for granted. Never move into his mother's house. Never co-sign for a man. (Hallelujah, thank you Jesus!) 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.Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.

hiya Dreamgirl....i'm liking this post. there are some bits of it that u forget once u're in a long term relationship.....its nice to be reminded.
I jus wanted to ask abt the bit that says there's nothin wrong with gettin to know a guy and at the same time keeping others in ur radar. does this apply for guys too? cos i kno all too often, we women complain wen guys tells us that he's getting to kno us, as well as others at the same time...and that makes us feel like he's not bein serious. I jus wanted to kno wat ur opinion on such was.....is it fair for the 'rule' to apply to both sexes??

PS. keep up the great work!! :o)

Hey Suga&Spice,

Thank you for the encouragement,Do you mean to ask if guys are allowed to get to know other people when they start talking to you? I believe so, cos whether or not they are allowed they do that anyway so it's not out of order to do the same as long as you're not serial dating and/or leading anybody on then it's fair game...
