Do me a favor, do the multiple dating--get to know a person without involve sexual stuff

Don't have sex and don't date, wait until you are older (like say 27). Don't pay attention when people tell you you are frigid, or imply you will be a spinster. There is no need to try and keep up with everyone elses pace. Focus on all the fun, interesting innocent things you want to do, and maybe consider going to University, you are definately smart enough, and if you go early enough your parents might even pay for it (just something to consider).

I'm going to quote Carrie Bradshaw, who said, "Relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you that you love, well, that's just fabulous."

 

I would say, "You have already found the greatest love of your life. Yourself. Now start treating her better."

 

And this too!! :bunny:

:lmao: :lmao: I laughed hard at some of these. Esp Hydorclops.

 

Openbook stole some of mine.

 

Otherwise, I'd say (deep breath cos it's long):

 

1) When it doesn't work out, MOVE THE **** ON. Do not take 3 years to heal from every relationship. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200$. Hollywood Land has it wrong. Things do not work out that way. Find someone who does work out. And don't fret that this was your last chance. Cos it never, ever is. Take off the rose colored glasses. No guy is worth taking that long of a break over.

 

2) Relax. You don't have to marry every guy you date. Or date only guys that have a clear cut path to the altar. Have fun and see how it goes.

 

3) Set your boundaries, fast.

 

4) Let go of the hang ups. Don't be so serious.

 

5) Don't fear taking risks. It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you if you are rejected. You are still fabulous.

 

6) Sow your wild oats in your 20's, instead of getting married then. Get the bad boys out of your system early.

 

7) Don't ever sacrifice your integrity to be with a guy. No one is ever worth it.

 

8) Stop pleasing everyone else. Do what makes you happy first, mostly.

I'd go back to when I met my first boyfriend and tell my younger self not to sleep with him as he'll turn out to be no good in the end. Then I'd tell myself not to date the next jerk in sheep's clothing whom I'd meet about 2 years from then. I'd tell her to stay friends with him and not give in to him when he presses for more. After that I'd tell her that she'd meet the guy she'll one day marry in about 4 years, so she needs to be patient and work on herself until that happens.
