Do not fall in love everytime you fall in bed.
... Learn to detach emotionally.
Sex does not equal commitment.
Do not revolve your entire life around him/her.
... Addiction is bad for your health!
Do not cling, act needy or demand.
... Doormats are for your feet, not your heart.
Open your eyes to lies and cheating, OR...
close them, justify the bad behavior, and live with the consequences.
December/May relationships are great.
However, seasons change and the May lover will sooner or later,
hear the call of Spring.
If someone wants to really be with you, they will be.
If they keep giving reasons for not calling
or say they are extremely busy, GET THE HINT, leave them alone.
Marriage before thirty is an inevitable celebration for divorce.
It's OK to say NO!
Stop talking so much. NEVER reveal everything.
Do not grill them or their friends for information.
Master the art of LISTENING.
Treat him/her as you would your best friend.
Friendship creates long term love and comes before sex.
FORGET about fixing your partner. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
Your choice of partner is a reflection of who you are and who you are not!
NEVER read their journal or go through their paperwork.
... If you have no trust, you have no relationship.
Allow space and freedom between you.
DO NOT always be available.
Calling frequently is a turn off
and signals insecurity, neediness and control.
Little or no eye contact? Start walking.
They won't even notice you're gone.
Anyone preoccupied with their physical appearance and dress,
usually have very little or nothing to offer from within.
... Look beyond the physical!
Never compromise your values.
If you OVER give, you will lose your lover and his respect.
DO NOT LOSE YOUR IDENTITY.
Sleeping with a married man?!
Don't count on him divorcing anytime soon.
If they ask to be just friends, be just that
and look elsewhere for a love partner.
Enjoy the moment first. Live in the present.
Don't worry about the ex's or start naming your future children.
State your personal rules in the very beginning or
expect them to be broken.
But most of all, be tough, be strong, be ready, be firm and be confident.
If things don't work out the way you want them to be, let go... and start all over again.
Don't ever give up your friends for him/her.
If your partner one day leaves you,
be sure you have friends, money, a career
and a life of your own which you never gave up.
... If you do not, who do you have to blame but yourself!
Hopeless romantics are only hopeless in the eyes of those who don't believe in romance.
Women are like apples on trees.
The best ones are at the top of the tree.
The men don't want to reach for the good ones
Because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground
That aren't as good, but easy.
So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them,
When in reality, THEY'RE amazing.
They just have to wait for the right man to come along,
The one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
