Rules for Surviving the Game of Love
Do not fall in love everytime you fall in
bed.
... Learn to detach emotionally.
Sex does not equal commitment.
Do not revolve your entire life around
him/her.
... Addiction is bad for your health!
Do not cling, act needy or demand.
... Doormats are for your feet, not your
heart.
It's OK to say NO!
Stop talking so much. NEVER reveal
everything.
Do not grill them or their friends for
information.
Master the art of LISTENING.
Treat him/her as you would your best
friend.
Friendship creates long term love and
comes before
sex.
FORGET about fixing your partner. IT
WILL NEVER
HAPPEN.
Your choice of partner is a reflection of
who you are
and who you are not!
Enjoy the moment first. Live in the
present.
... Don't worry about the ex's or start
naming your
future children.
NEVER read their journal or go through
their
! paperwork.
... If you have no trust, you have no
relationship.
Allow space and freedom between you.
DO NOT always be available.
Calling frequently is a turn off and signals
insecurity, neediness and control.
Open your eyes to lies and cheating,
OR... close them,
justify the bad behavior, and live with the
consequences.
Little or no eye contact? Start walking.
They won't
even notice your gone.
Anyone preoccupied with their physical
appearance and
dress, usually have very little or nothing
to offer
from within.
... Look beyond the physical!
Never compromise your values.
If you OVER give, you will lose your lover
and his
respect. DO NOT LOSE YOUR
IDENTITY.
December/May relationships are great.
However, seasons
change and the May lover will sooner or
later, hear
the call of Spring.
If someone REALLY wants to be with
you, they will be.
Sleeping with a married man?! Don't
count on him
divorcing anytime soon.
State your personal rules in the very
beginning or
expect them to be broken.
If they ask to be just friends, be just that
and look
elsewhere for a love partner.
If someone wants to really be with you,
they will. If
they keep giving reasons for not calling or
say they
are extremely busy, GET THE HINT,
leave them alone.
Marriage before thirty is an inevitable
celebration
for divorce.
Don't ever give up your friends for
him/her.
If your partner one day leaves you, be
sure you have
friends, money, a career and a life of
your own which
you never gave up.
... If you do not, who do you have to
blame but
yourself!
"Hopeless romantics are only hopeless in
the eyes of
those who don't believe in romance"
You can't help who is it that you fall in
love with,
whether they are
older
or younger, taller or shorter, completely
opposite or
just like you...
