THEY'RE JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU

I saw a text conversation posted on Facebook between friends listing lessons to be learned when dating a boy, and so I thought I might use that as an example and make a hard hitting truth check-list for all your girls out there. There's no holding back but that's what we need; the truth with no sugar coating!

1. Don't send nudes because they will shared with friends
2. If they won't hold your hand in public you ain't shit to them
3. Learn the different between protective and possessive
4. Look at them through the company they keeps - they will say a lot about who your partner is as well!
5. Don't use sex as a weapon, it should be fun for the both of you
6. Don't take 30 minutes to reply back because they took 20. Texting shouldn't be a game, when you're playing a game there always has to be a loser
7. If they make you feel bad more than they makes you feel good, leave them
8. Ever heard "I don't want to hurt you" or "I'm going to hurt you"? What they really mean is "I'm too much of a selfish, inconsiderate, immature asshole to stop you from being my convenience and I will take advantage of your feelings towards me. But now because I have said this I can remind you when you complain that I hurt you, that I did warn you."
9. If you can't trust them with their ex, bye bye mother fucker
10. If they can't trust you with your ex, say goodbye to your ex. They're the future for a reason, and if you're making your partner feel uncomfortable; you need to step back and look at what you're doing before you call them out on being possessive
11. If you can't be proud to have a kid like them, don't stay with them
12. If they truly want to hang out with you, they will go out of their way to do so. If they're all talk and no walk be honest with yourself and stop investing in them
13. If you tell them how you feel and they laugh at you, leave their ass. Don't keep people in your life who make you feel inferior and invalidated
14. If you're making more than two excuses for them an interaction, you're in a relationship with yourself
15. If you're having to lie about them to your friends, why are you with them?
16. If you don't feel comfortable asking them what their intentions are with you, then you probably already know but just don't want to hear the answer
17. Worry about their Snapchat best friends or who they're liking on instagram? Ask them about it. But if they don't care enough about you to make you feel comfortable about others on social media - leave
18. If you don't trust, leave. If you don't respect leave. If they don't trust, leave. If they don't respect, leave.
19. Opposites attract but then they also attack. If you don't have common interests it will eventually catch up on you
20. They cannot be your poison and your medicine
21. There's a difference between saying "I love you" and talking about a future together
22. Actions speak louder than words - they might be saying all the right things, but are they being acted upon?
