MEN...

I found this piece taped inside my closet door...I know I was the one who placed it there (maybe 10 years ago or more!) but I don’t remember where I got it or who gave it to me or who really wrote it.  Read on ‘cause it’s truly inspiring and amusing...:)

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 behaviours. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from your 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 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 will 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 different?

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 behaviour. 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 complementary...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 are always readily available to him---he takes it for granted.

Never move into his mother’s house.

Never co-sign for a man. (hallelujah, thank you Jesus!)

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.

Share this with your girlfriends...you’ll make someone smile...another rethink her choices and another woman prepare.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and entire lifetime to forget them...!
