If A MAN WANTS YOU...

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 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 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.

Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Most of those standards can be applied to the other side of the gender train as well.

I didn't mean that to be mean, BTW. I was simply pointing out that most of those standards could be applied to the ladies as well, if not all of them.

Is it truly sensible in both directions?

1. If a woman wants you, nothing can keep her from coming to you.

2. If she doesn't want you, then that's a continuation of now.

3. Stop making excuses for a woman and her behavior.

4. Allow your intuition to save you a bundle by avoiding divorce.

5. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.

6. Slower is better if you have the right pills.

7. Never live your life for a woman before you find real meaning in life that makes you happy.

8. If a relationship ends because she wasn't treating you right, then you can't be friends. A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

9. Don't settle. If you feel like she's stringing you along, then she probably is.

10. 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.

11. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

12. Avoid women who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different men. She didn't stay married to them, got the child support and other settlements, and why should she treat you any different?

13. Always have your own set of friends separate from hers.

14. Maintain boundaries on how a woman treats you.

15. If something bothers you, speak up.

16. Never let a woman know everything. She will use it against you.

17. You cannot change a woman's behavior. Change comes from within.

18. Don't EVER make her feel she is more important than you are...even if she has more education or a better job. Do not make her into a quasi-goddess. She is a woman; nothing more, nothing less.

19. Never let a woman define who you are.

20. Never borrow someone else's woman. If she cheated with you, she'll cheat on you.


21. A woman will only treat you the way you ALLOW her to treat you.

22. All women are NOT bitshes.

23. You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.

24. You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a newrelationship.

25. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.

26. Dating is fun...even if she doesn't turn out to be Mrs. Right.

27. Make her miss you sometimes...when she always know where you are, and you're always readily available to her- she takes it for granted.

28. Don't fully commit to a woman who doesn't give you everything that you need.

29. Keep her in your radar but get to know others.
