*HEAR WHAT OPRAH WINFREY HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN *
*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 behaviour.
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 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 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.*
*Share this with other women and men (just so they know)... 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
an entire lifetime to forget them.*
*Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships
that are abusive or hurtful : DrPhill*
*You should know that you're the best thing that could ever happen to anyone
and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was
attracted to you in the 1st place, just know that he's not the only one.
They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices. Make the right one.*
