Special Person.

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.

*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 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.
