* 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 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’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.
* Never move into his mother’s house.
* Never co-sign for a man.
* 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.
