Doesn't have to be 5 years, but you get the point.

 

 

1. Never, ever, deviate from your career path for a girl. No exceptions.

 

2. Never beg for anything, especially for her to stay with you.

 

3. When a relationship is over, hide ALL pain from your ex.

 

4. In a relationship, establish how much you care for her. Show her only half of that pretty much at all times.

5. Don't make someone a priority-when you're just an option.

6. Don't have sex on the first date-ever.

Wha? I agreed with you up to this point. If you love a girl then show her 100% or she'll just find someone who will...

Remember, I'm talking to myself here. In my experience I've always fallen faster and harder than anybody I've dated.

1. Don't be a pussy

2. Girls appreciate a man who can be sexual - when appropriate

Don't get into a long distance relationship, no matter how much you think there's a "connection" or how cute she is.

 

Don't date people who hate their bodies for they are soul suckers.

1 - Relax. Stop being so desperate. You're not a spinster if you're only 16.

 

2 - When they say someone will come along, they mean it. Seriously, you're only 16.

 

3 - Every now and then, make a move. Show them you're interested.

 

4 - Pay attention to red flags. They're red for a reason.

1. If a man is making you feel insecure about yourself, run

2. You are important. Don't throw your life away to make your boyfriend happy.

3. Don't try to be someone you are not. So you are eccentric? Embrace it. Be it. Someone will like it.

4. Give more people a chance, even if they don't completely fit your criteria.

5. It's OK to be single!

1) Don't put up with someone not willing to work on your relationship.

2) Wth are you doing getting engaged to a guy who won't fhuck you or do #1???!?!

3) Pay for your own stuff. Not his and yours.

4) Stop serial dating. You dumped them for a reason.

5) Remember this crap in 5 years because this stuff will still happen and you'll just love the guy at 25 even more than the other guy at 20.

6) Don't be a beetch. Just leave.

Leave him! The sex is waaay better with almost anyone else and he's much better friend than a boyfriend.

1: You don't need a girl's affection to valdate yourself.

2: Honestly don't worry about dating in high school so much man. Girls literally grow off tree's in college.

3: Embrace all your preferences and desires in life. And don't deviate so heavily just for someone else.

4: Always go with your gut. Trust me.

5: Be bold. You'll only get one chance with some girls. Go all out!

If you have doubts whether a guy likes you/is committed to you...most likely he isnt (this doesnt apply to insecure people)

 

How a guy acts the first 3 months towards you is not representative of how he would be in a relationship...people often show their "best behavior" in the beginning

 

Guys that are huge flirts are a headache to deal with dating-wise...stay away!

 

Don't place dating high on your priority list in life (esp. in your 20's!)

 

Trust your intuition, its spot on 99% of the time

 

Stay away from men obsessed with working out/looks in women...they are shallow!!!!!! (obsessed with working out/being fit, not a hobby merely)

Stay away from OLD. Seven years, and I could write a book. The same freaks that were there when I started are there now, online everyday, looking for god knows what. The only positive is that I can now more appreciate the man I have, and how very rare he is.

1) I'll reiterate - BE YOURSELF. If you try to mold yourself into someone else's ideal you'll be miserable. You are good enough!

 

2) A man will always show you what he's made of through his actions, not his words.

 

3) If a man says he's not ready for a relationship - believe him. Don't wait around hoping you're just so special and he can't see it yet and eventually he'll change his mind about you.

 

4) Date without being attached to the outcome. Go into every experience to have fun - nothing more, nothing less. Your dates will appreciate a nice time.

 

5) Continue dating other people until you have a firm commitment from one of them, even if you don't feel like it. The distraction is always welcome and you're not waiting by the phone or obsessing about what "he" is or isn't thinking (this has always worked for me - point of contention for some).

 

6) Even when in a relationship - maintain your own life, friends, and interests. It makes you that much more interesting and if things don't work out your life won't fall apart because you haven't made another person the center of your universe.

 

7) Fall in love with yourself. Be selfish. Do what makes you happy regardless of what other people think. Be whole. Be self-aware. Love your life. Find joy in every day. :love:

1) You know that rule you made when you were a teenager about never dating coworkers? Stick to it. That was one of your few wise teenaged decisions.

 

2) Take some time away from dating, until you are ready to really commit again. Don't be afraid to be single.

 

3) Don't ignore your gut feeling about someone (good or bad). It's been right every time so far.

 

4) Don't believe the nasty things your ex told you about yourself.

 

5) Never, ever, ever stay with a guy who doesn't respect your boundaries.

 

6) Always respect your own boundaries--and know what those boundaries are. Even if it means losing someone you care about, standing up for your needs is not negotiable.

 

7) Even when you're in love, make your health and your friends a priority.

 

8) Don't be afraid of love.

 

9) Seriously, don't date that coworker.

You're going to meet someone amazing in 2013, so hook up with more girls and less guys now, while you have a chance.

1) Looks AND Personality are the two most important parts to dating women

2) Having a degree, career, car, and own place don't guarantee any success

3) Seize every opportunity presented to you
