I would probably sound like a bitter old woman to you, but I'm not so bitter. This is just a list that I have compiled to share with my close girlfriends as a precaution. And I think this would be great for bloggers too.
I'm not saying that the was my fault, but I'm saying that there were better things I could have done to avoid the break up.
Here is my lesson learned, and take it from me, its good stuff:
1. Never put a boy before your academics/priorities.
This is the biggest mistake you can ever make. Your future is in your hands, don't hand it over to somebody undependable and immature. Actually, don't hand it over at all. Remember that he is only temporary, and your school work is set in stone.
2. Never give him any boost of confidence, unless if he is going to commit suicide.
He didn't commit suicide, that was exactly why I shouldn't have told him how good looking I thought he was, how smart I thought he was, how funny I thought he was, and etc. Guys are already arrogant & cocky enough, telling them what they wanna hear is death. It will lead him to believe that he is invincible and can get any girl he wants to, and soon he will probably think that he is too good for you.
3. Never give him complete trust.
Boys are liars, it's in their nature to lie. If he tells you that he will never "cheat on you", he will never "leave you", or if he gives you any of those infamous sweet talks, listen and indulge, but never trust. If you do, soon you will look back and think of what a gullible fool you were.
4. Never let him know that you are falling for him.
Unless if you want to get married, but that's a completely different topic. Now, once he knows that you are falling for him, he will literally treat you like a booty call, because he knows that you will do anything to see him. So basically, he will USE you whenever he wants to, and ignore you if he is getting bored.
5. Never EVER let your body go.
No, I didn't lose my virginity, but I did lose something just as precious: my first kiss. And to tell you the truth, he wasn't even that good.
6. The last but not the least, Always remember that he is only temporary.
Even though you may think different when you're falling head over heels for this guy, but you guys will stumble, and sometimes you guys will break, it depends on both of your mentalities about relationships. Never let yourself believe that he is the one, despite your good feelings toward him, because you never know what is going to happen. So always expect the worst and hope for the best, that way you won't be disappointed when things come crashing down.
