This is for women and men alike.

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 hell 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. Period!

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.

Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.If he cheated on you... move on.. It is his character and it will never change. Period!

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... 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.

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.

When a person SHOWS you who he is, believe him!!

"Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself

Te only person you can control in a relationship is you". I kind of feel that it not suitable all time. It all depends on situations. Sometimes even waiting for longtime gives out good result. Human need to be patient in such delicate relationship.
