WHAT OPRAH HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN :) A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
* 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.
* Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn’t marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
*Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything.* He will 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. If he cheated with you, he’ll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. All men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending…compromise is two way street. You need time to heal between relationships…there is nothing cute about baggage… deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
* You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. Look for someone complementary… 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.
*Never move into his mother’s house. Never co-sign for a man.
NEVER SETTLE, YOU DESERVE BETTER
They always say, “never settle for less.” Never be okay with receiving less than you deserve. But how do you know what you deserve? You find yourself in a relationship where he doesn’t remember every little thing. But that’s okay, you tell yourself, because it’s not like you’ll find a guy who does. You don’t feel like the number one thing in his life, but are you ever going to find someone like that? Probably not, you tell yourself. So you take what you can get, because you realize you probably won’t get more than this. Your heart will disagree though. Every time he forgets to call, your heart will cry out and ask why he forget. Every time he misses an event, your heart will demand to know what’s more important than you. Every time this happens, your heart will fracture a little more until one day you wake up and find you’re holding an unrecognizable pile of shattered pieces which once used to be your heart. You will know when you are receiving less. When you start to doubt and begin to wonder if you’re doing something wrong, then it’s less. When you lie awake at night and dream of something more, then you know it’s less. If you dream of someone else, then he’s definitely less. So let me tell you one more time. You deserve the best. If you don’t feel a 100% of effort in the relationship, then it’s not what you deserve. Don’t feel the need to stay just because. If you don’t want to be in the relationship, leave. Break up and move on. Learn and look. Look for something better, because you deserve the best and nothing less. And one day, you will find it and it will be so perfectly amazing. There will be ups and downs, but even at its worse it will be better than those other relationships at their best. So keep looking. Don’t give up.

5 romantic mistakes worth making
1. Date the bad boy
C’mon, you know you want to. There’s just something alluring about a man who is confident and unpredictable. Often, these bad boys get their dubious reputations because they are only available for a short-term dalliance, and that isn’t necessarily a terrible thing. Dating someone who doesn’t want to settle down could open you up to new experiences and adventures that you might not otherwise have. A corollary to dating the bad boy is dating someone with whom you have absolutely nothing in common. After all, you might just find you really do like watching hockey or playing air guitar.
The key is to go into short-term dalliances with realistic expectations. “If a woman decides to date a ‘bad boy,’ she should know what she’s getting into,” advises Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D., the Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychology Department of Psychology at New York University. “Many women date bad boys hoping they can change them. The fact is, they won’t change them. Women shouldn’t have pretensions about that.” So why bother, then? Kaufman explains, “Sometimes women need to date a bad boy or two before they realize how valuable nice guys really are.” After a few dating mistakes like this one, you’ll be less likely to take a stable relationship when it comes along for granted.
2. Say “I love you” (when you know it’s too soon)
This has to be one of the most classic dating mistakes of all time. As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “If you don’t get that return, that’s a pretty big matzoh ball hanging out there.” Still, being cautious isn’t always the best way to play it in real life. Matzoh ball or not, do you really want to conduct your love life as if it’s some carefully planned military operation? Sometimes blurting out how you feel is the right thing to do. If people stop copping to their feelings all together, where would we be? If you do blurt out those three little words and later regret it, you can recover without changing your cell phone number. Just explain that you were wrapped up in the moment and are of a calmer mind now.
3. Give it one more chance
It might be tough to get back together with an ex when you think of your friends groaning about it. But this “mistake” could be the right thing for you. “In many cases it would be unwise because you have all this baggage as a couple,” Fisher concedes. “However, getting back together and working through that baggage could be useful. It might help you determine why the relationship ended, if that’s still unresolved, or it might actually lead to a long-term relationship with that person.” Finding a real connection with someone isn’t something one should dismiss too easily, after all. Making this particular “mistake” shows you understand that relationships can come with some bumps in the road and still be worthwhile.
4. Go the distance
When you tell your friends she’s moving away but you’re staying together, there might be a few raised eyebrows. After all, conventional wisdom says long-distance relationships are hard to sustain. And, for the most part, the conventional wisdom is correct. When you’re in different time zones, it can be really tough — and expensive — to connect. Laura Stafford, Ph.D., a communication professor at the University of Kentucky-Lexington who studies long-distance courting, elaborates: “When it comes to figuring out compatibilities, [long-distance relationships]deserve a bad rap. A huge number of people who think they will live happily ever after break up when they become proximal to each other.”
But long-distance love doesn’t have to be all bad. Stafford says that a major advantage to the LDR is that you can spend all of your time together like it’s a honeymoon. You tend to be on your best behavior when you get together, and when you’re not in the same city, you can focus completely on work and other obligations. Some people, in fact, prefer dating this way for this very reason. It can be a good fit for the ultra-independent soul, or for young people working to establish themselves in a demanding career. Stafford advises that if you want your LDR to last, you have to get past the honeymoon behavior and make an effort to stay current with your partner — not just on the big things, but on all the little things, too.
5. Let a good one get away
You cannot plan out your love life ahead of time. The perfect person could come along before you’re ready for each other. Don’t be too hard on yourself for letting a good one get away. In fact, this might be the most instructive dating mistake of them all — the game-changer, the one they write screenplays about. The sting you feel when you learn your “good one” has truly moved on — thanks for all those photo updates, Facebook! — is a healthy one. It means that when you meet a new good match for you, you’ll be less cavalier about it.

four persons
“Every person will need to find four people in their lives. The First person is you. The Second person is the one you love most. The Third person is the one who loves you most. And the Fourth is the one you spend the rest of your life with. In life, firstly you will meet with the one you love most, and learn how love feels. Because you know how love feels, so you can find the person who loves you most. When you have experienced the feeling of loving others and being loved, you will then know what it is you need most. Then you will find the person who is most suitable for you, to be able to spend the rest of your life with. Sadly, in real life, these three people are usually not the same person. The one you love most doesn’t love you. The one, who loves you most, is never the one you love most. And the one you spend your life with, is never the one you love most or the one who loves you most. He is just the person who happens to be at the right place at the right time.”

Thinking About When We’re Together Again
Needing so much the warmth of your touch,
the wonderful joy of your kiss…
seeing your smile in my mind all the while -
there’s so much about you I miss…
Day after day, while you’re still away,
the one thing that helps get me through
is dreaming of when we’re together again -
for nothing’s the same without you…
I want us to be happy again. Our relationship means everything to me, and when things aren’t right between us, nothing seems right at all. I want to do whatever I can to make things better because I really, really love you and care about us very much…
Effects of Kissing
- Long kisses are beneficial to our circulatory system. When kissing, our pulse rate is quickening up to 110 beats per minute. This is a great training for our cardiovascular system.
- After kissing, the lungs work harder, resulting in 60 inhales per minute compared to regular 20 inhales. Such “ventilation” is a good preventive measure against lung diseases.
- Some dentists believe that kissing is a preventive measure against dental caries. Indeed, kissing stimulates the flow of saliva that eliminates acid coat on the teeth.
- Kisses that last more than three minutes help us fight stress and its effects. Long kisses trigger the chain of biochemical reactions, which destroys stress hormones.
- Those who kiss their partner goodbye each morning live five years longer than those who don’t.
- Kissing is great for self-esteem. It makes you feel appreciated and helps your state of mind.
- Kissing burns calories, 2-3 calories a minute and can double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to loose an entire extra pound.
- Kissing is a known stress-reliever. Passionate kissing relieves tension, reduces negative energy and produces a sense of well being, lowering your cortisol ‘stress’ hormone.
- Kissing uses 30 facial muscles and it helps keep the facial muscles tight, preventing baggy cheeks! The tension in the muscles caused by a passionate kiss helps smooth the skin and increases the circulation.
- Kissing is good for the heart, as it creates an adrenaline which causes your heart to pump more blood around your body. Frequent kissing has scientifically been proven to stabilize cardiovascular activity, decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Those who kiss quite frequently are less likely to suffer from stomach, bladder and blood infections.During a kiss, natural antibiotics are secreted in the saliva. Also, the saliva contains a type of anesthetic that helps relieve pain.
- Kissing reduces anxiety and stops the ‘noise’ in your mind. It increases the levels of oxytocin, an extremely calming hormone that produces a feeling of peace.
