Relationship Tips, From Someone Who Has Been There

1) If they want you, nothing can keep them away.
2) If they do not want you, nothing can make them stay....
3) Stop making excuses for them and their behavior.
4) Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
5) Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
6) Slower is better.
7) Never live your life for someone else before you find what makes you truly happy.
8) If a relationship ends because they were not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can't 'be friends.' A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
9) Don't settle. If you feel like they're  stringing you along, then they probably are.
10) 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.
11) The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
12) Avoid people who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different people. they didn't take responsibility then, why would they treat you any differently?
13) Always have your own set of separate friends.
14) Maintain boundaries in how you are treated; if something bothers you, speak up.
15) Be aware that healthy relationships are built on trust, and that is something that has to be built.
16) You cannot change anyone else's behavior. Change comes from within.
17) Don't EVER make them feel they are more important than you are, even if they have more education or a better job. And don't ever make them feel less important than you are either.
18) Do not make them into a God/Goddess; they are human, nothing more, nothing less.
19) Never let someone else define who you are.
20) Never borrow someone else's mate, if they cheated with you, they'll cheat on you.
21) A person will only treat you the way you ALLOW them to treat you.
22) All men are NOT dogs. All women do not go for Jerks.
23) You should not be the one doing all the bending, compromise is a two-way street.
24) You need time to heal between relationships. There's nothing useful about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
25) You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. Look for someone complimentary, not supplementary.
26) Allow them to miss you sometimes. If a person always knows where you are all the time, and you're always readily available to them - they may take you for granted. They are suppose to be a part of your world not consume it. 
27.) Just because something doesn't work out doesn't mean Love does not exist; It simply means that that person was not the right one for you
28.) Don't get caught up in trying to plan out an entire future with them, take it one day at a time so you have less to be disappointed over if it doesn't go like you want it to.
Love is like a butterfly:
 the more you chase it, the more it will elude you.
but if you turn your attention to other things it will come sit softly on your shoulder
