Often the thought of pain is actually worse that the pain itself.
If you bury the pain deep down it will stay with you indefinitely, but if you open yourself to it, experience it, and deal with it head-on, you’ll find it begins to move on after a while.
Personally, when I’m picking friends, I like the ones who don’t make me cry myself to sleep.
If the guy you’re dating doesn’t seem to be completely into you, or you feel the need to start ‘figuring him out,’ please consider the glorious thought that he might just not be that into you. And then free yourself to go find someone that is.
If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you.
There’s nothing wrong with sending a quick note if you’re busy or just want to flirt, but it’s hard to have any real interaction over text. In the buffet of communication, text messaging should be a side dish, not the entree.
Anyone who assesses you or your relationship as disposable is not worthy of your time or tears.
Sometimes people change their minds, sometimes they meet someone else, sometimes they get sober, and sometimes he was just a jerk who you’re lucky to be rid of.
One of the suckiest and most frustrating facts of life is that sometimes relationship just end, often without reason. I truly believe that sometimes both men and women simply run out of love, even when there was a lot of it in the beginning.
As a guy I never liked being told to call, which my wife really never does, and that’s why I call her as often as I do.
I’ve never tried to pass myself off as anything more than a comedian who wrote a dating book.
Bored with the same type of misery over and over and over again.
Send her a quick note while you’re stuck in a long meeting. A lighthearted chat definitely makes the time go faster.
Sometimes we become attached to what’s familiar, and sometimes we hold on to things that are safe and predictable, even if they are bad for us.
The day you realize you don’t have to make sense to anyone is the day you start to make sense to you.
We have become a sloppy bunch of people. We say things we don’t mean. We make promises we don’t keep.
First of all, never buy a man a plasma TV until you’re married. A lot of men once they have a plasma TV they don’t need a girlfriend.
Life is hard enough as it is without choosing someone difficult to share it with.
Let’s call cheating what it is: a complete betrayal of trust.
Better than nothing is not good enough for you!
