Traditional dating has always been a form of slimy used car salesperson’s bait-and-switch mixed with a too-good-to-be-true job interview.

Dating Red-flag: Don’t Ever Mention Him Again
Ladies: the guy that eagerly listened to you talk about your existing male friends (among your many friends) and then suddenly, but politely, asks you to never mention your male friends in front of him again…
BIG, FAT RED FLAG!
That type of request is actually a demand. It’s a “do as I say or else” demand. It’s the tearing down of your life and your support structure!
A man that you’re dating who cannot be friends with your male friends is no man at all. Likewise, if your existing/new male friends cannot be friends with your date/boyfriend/husband then they’re not real friends.
Assumption: your male friends are supportive of you and aren’t assholes, douchebags and/or idiots!
She passively blamed her single status entirely on God
Excerpt from: “9 Things You Simply Must Do – to Succeed in Love and Life” by Dr. Henry Cloud
I have seen lives transformed when people begin to adopt the strategy of asking themselves, What can I do to make this better?
Miracles have occurred. I recently attended the wedding of a woman who had complained to me a couple of years ago saying, “I wish I were married, but God just has not chosen that for me at this point in my life.”
She passively blamed her single status entirely on God. It never occurred to her that she might do something to help him.
I challenged this woman to take responsibility and be proactive. God would help her, but she needed to give him a little cooperation.
Here is the exciting fact: she had been stagnant in her dating life for longer than it took to get moving and get married.

“Dating – What we “put” up with we “end” up with.” And a big thanks to my friend Alisa Ayn Daly for the fantastic phrase that ended up as my tagline: What we “put” up with we “end” up with. Everybody loved it!
