“If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition 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 hell no, you can’t ‘be friends’. A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend. You should be his ‘Queen’, no if’s and’s or but’s about it. 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 will be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are worse. The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Avoid men who have a history of cheating or for being abusive. 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 is bothering 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 like he is more important than you are, even if he has more education or 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. A man will only treat you the way you allow him to treat you. 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. 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 knows where you are, and you’re 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. You need a man who will make you happy all of the time, not just when you’re together. You need a man who will miss you when you’re apart and make it known that he misses you. Don’t settle for anything less”
