Got this in the email today. Heh. Good, sound advice. đ
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesnât 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 thatâs 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 canât âbe friendsâ. A friend wouldnât mistreat a friend.
Donât settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Donât stay because you think, âit will get betterâ. Youâll 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.
You cannot change a manâs behavior. Change comes from within.
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Avoid men whoâve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didnât marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
Donât EVER make him feel he is more important than you are, even if he has more education or is 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 elseâs man. If he cheated with you heâll cheat on you.
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. A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. Look for someone complimentary not supplementary.
All men are NOT dogs.
Dating is fun⌠even if he doesnât turn out to be Mr. Right.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Make him miss you sometimes. When a man always knows where you are, and youâre always readily available to him – he takes it
for granted.
Never co-sign for a man.
Donât fully commit to a man who doesnât give you everything that you need.
âThey say it takes only a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them and a day to love them. But it takes an entire lifetime to forget them.â

I donât think it takes an entire lifetime to forget someone special lah.. maybe just a decade. Haha.
U know, I have to say most of the statements quite true but have to add that it works both ways, applies to women as well I suppose.
