It's been, how long??
Haven't posted in ages. My blog has practically collected so much dust, it is hard to believe my blog was not swept through by a blizzard of dust bunnies.
Here goes nothing:
emblematic list? Why not.
Why is it that guys are utter oafs one day and kind-hearted gentlemen the other? Prince Charming does not exist—trust me. No matter how hard we wish for that man to gently fall down from the clouds and sweep you off your feet—no, that wish will only come true in your lovely inconceivable dreams.
1. Yes, all guys are only looking for one thing—no matter how much they deny it.
2. You find this so called Prince, spend more time with him and then let me know how much of a prince he becomes.
3. He showers you with compliments—considering the sweet and gorgeous person you are: yes they might be true. However, don’t be surprised if he has used all these same exact lines with other girls from his past.
4. When he begins to treat you like a friend instead of his girlfriend—watch out, better off leave him now than keep playing this pretend game.
5. I won’t deny it, there are a special few that become the exception—take care of those guys, their hearts tend to be highly fragile.
6. A guy worth keeping will never push you to do something you wouldn’t do.
7. Girls: stop being too forward, there’s a reason why guys are like this—yes, it is hard to admit but they are not the only ones to blame.
8. Take everything slowly—there used to be something called courtship: familiar with the term?
9. It is all about moving forward—girls don’t ever cry for ANY guy, he might have broken you heart but it is NOT worth it. He’ll regret his decision, trust me—and you’ll be moving on.
10. Don’t ever EVER compare your ex to your current boyfriend or soon-to-be boyfriend. Please, nobody wants to be compared to a total jerk especially when the purpose of having a new boyfriend is to forget about the old one. No comparisons please—it is inappropriate and very rude.
11. Keep your best friends away from your boyfriend girls—no, it’s not about jealousy. It is about boundaries: let him have his friends and you can have your friends, space makes the relationship last.
12. Listen to each other: it is always a beautiful thing to have good communication with your boyfriend. If something is on his mind: ask him about it, listen to what he says, and let him know how you feel. This way, you’ll learn more about each other and he’ll know that you’ll always be there for advice.
13. Support is all you need. Learn more about his goals and ambitions in life and support him in every way possible—guys like to know that their girlfriend is on their side and enjoy having someone there to motivate them and push them to strive forward.
14. Don’t ever nag—who wants a girlfriend that is always bickering about what he eats or what he wears or what he is watching? If something is annoying you, instead of bickering, just suggest that whatever he is doing just doesn’t suit your taste. Perhaps, he’ll understand your motif and let this bad habit go away. Or better yet, let him be! If you have to constantly nag because something continuously bothers you about him, then it just isn't meant to be.
15. Cling, Cling, Cling—please do not feel the need to always hold on to your man, follow him around, and call or text him every day. Please, the man needs his space! He is going out with you because he likes you, no need to hang on to him like a baby chimp. Instead, let him miss you—this way, you’ll keep him wanting you. ;)
16. Love, love, love—make sure that once you say those three special words, both of you mean it. I know, it becomes hard to resist but think before you speak. You’ll know when to say those words, they’ll come out naturally from the two of you when it is time. :)
17. Family—make sure that once you’re ready to meet his family, don’t ever act any different than who you truly are. Changing personalities will not do any good to the both of you. Be natural and enjoy this special bonding time.
18. Be honest—always let him know of anything that is going on in your mind. Secrets should never be kept from each other, he’s your boyfriend, your best friend. He should know everything about you just as much as you want to know about him.
19. I know, everyone has their dirty little secrets—if you think this might jeopardize your relationship, don’t tell them. He will eventually find out about them when the right time comes..
20. Stop jumping to conclusions—-yes, one day he might have a female friend hanging out with him for some coffee but please don’t become the jealous girlfriend. The worst thing you can do is try to get him back by hanging out with a male friend of yours. Let him have his space, you and I know that he’ll never cheat on you. If he does, let him go—come on, there are more than plenty of handsome apples to pick out from the fruitful tree.
21. Mistakes happen—whether you think you let go of the perfect man, give it some time. It is never good to go running back to him, it will only break your precious heart even more. Patience and time will do the both of you good.
There is more to add but I might sound monotonous so for now, I will end it here and possibly add more at a later time.
And for ol' times sake, here is a quote for the last few minutes of VDay:
"The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re still alive."
