A friend sent this to me and I think it should be required reading on every girl's 13th birthday, laminated, framed and hung in every room in the house.
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 yourselves 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 your 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.

I wouldn't recommend tattooing it. That would not only be expensive and time-consuming, but painful. Maybe we should get it made poster size and put it on the front door so any males who get a pass to entrez will know right from the get go we're not putting up with any nonsense.
Good rules! I wish more people followed them. I like the poster idea. A check list would be nice to. We could hand it out. Please note, you must qualify with the following criteria and agree to follow these simple yet important rules before being allowed entry to the wild wonderful world of woman. If you cannot follow these rules, then please, don't let the doornob jab you in the ass on your way out. Thank you for playing, and we have some lovely parting gifts.
Wow, some of that is really really good. But there is a lot there that is scary. Non-committal, untrusting, selfish, and would really turn off a lot of really good guys.
"Keep him in your radar but get to know others." is just saying keep a wandering eye, right after warning if he has one...
And "Always have your own set of friends separate from his." is really trouble waiting to happen. There shouldn't be friends he doesn't want you to talk to, and the same goes for your friends. Otherwise something is wrong or hidden that shouldn't be...
I'd go on, but, there are quit a few good ones in there, so I don't want to make you think I'm trashing the whole concept.
