      I agree with you....take care of your man and spoil him though (only when deserving) but never put d*&k on a pedestal....lol

    When you suspect something is up. It usually is.

    Where to start?
  7. DrowseyMonkey
    Be yourself. Let them be themselves.

    Don't change for someone and don't try and change someone.
    1. LGramlich
      Totally! If you can't accept someone as they are, don't get involved with them.
  8. LGramlich
    1. Be solidly secure in yourself before getting involved with someone else.
    2. Have clearly defined boundaries & guard them. Anyone who's unwilling to respect those boundaries isn't worth the time or energy.
    3. Do for another because you want to, not because you expect something in return.
    4. Communicate honestly (& don't call names, dredge up the past, etc.)
    5. Be true to yourself. Don't let a relationship get in the way of your personal happiness. If you're off of that path, it's time to reasses (& possibly leave,) the relationship.

    That's probably enough for now...

    The chief cause of problems is solutions.

    Here's what I learned.

    Never date anyone that lives in the same Town, State, County, Country, Continent, Planet,
    Solar System or Universe as you.

    This way when you break up, you won't have to see their ugly face again or have to ask yourself
    "what the hell was I thinking".

    Try to keep your part of mystery...
  12. archiegottlieb
    push them away just enough to keep them.

    past - It was fun while it lasted.

    present - Damn this is hard work!

    when you start to lose all of your friends of the opposite sex out of fear that youll make the other upset and depressed, just stop. After a year with a girl who planned our babies names and marriage i seem to have made almost no new friends who are girls and its my first year of college. But now im getting back on track after we ended a while back

    I have learned that my ideals are not shared by any 88% of the male population and therefore have decided that relationships are distractions on the path to success and should best be avoided... Not to say that I don't have any form of relationship, the ones I have are just unconventional and often frowned upon.
    1. TonyB
      Do you mean that 88% of guys are convention and the other 12% have some other form of relationship?
