Oprah On Men and Relatiosnhips

(I guess this could go for both men and women)

*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 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.

*Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

*If something bothers you, speak up.

*Never let a man know everything. He might 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.

*All men are NOT dogs.

*You should not be the one doing all the bending... compromise is two way street.

*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.

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.
