10 Reason Your friends Dating Advice sucks! + With a little of humour
Lately the reoccurring conversations about love, lust, marriage and dating is never ending, so much so that I really had to analye the advice I was presenting to my friends, family and to myself. There is this overall concept that every relationship goes through certain things, none is ever the same, and no one knows what is really going on between the two. True, something we can all agree on.
The crazy thing about this statement is that it can be repeated hundred of times and still have no staying power because humans need to seek and ask. Its a dangerous fine line because your relationship advise could truly suck!!
So here are a few reasons, I have analyze and support this...
1) Do not give me relationship advice if you have not been in a relationship more than two dinner dates, a one night stand, or you've only been invited to his home boy's house.
2) Have you ever notice the worst dating advice about men come from women, not that you can't get get good advice from your girlfriends but too often we ask other women for advice on the mind of a man. Why not ask men?
3) Advice too often comes from a personal experience, personal perspective and maybe to keep you single. Think about if I'm single and were always together why would I want you to be 'booed up' who will I spend my Saturday nights with!
4) Some advice derived from what has been done and not a change in action to prevent an outcome. I have found over the years many will start there advice with, I have done, have you tried, or do this, if the outcome for them did not work chances are it may not work for you.
5) No advice is equal advice be careful who you take dating advice from
~the friend that never wants to get married
~the friend that thinks a man is a sperm bank only
~the bitter friend
~the friend that has been married and hates marriage
~the friend that sees butter flies all day every day
This can go both for family members as well and I can go on with this list but be careful who speaks into ear and life.
6) You can be your worst enemy when it comes to dating, if there is never something wrong with you. It's always the guy? sometimes the common denominator is you! No one wants to admit something is wrong with them (that's why you attract a type) or that they are wrong. Admit it!` it will change your life. Take a good long look at your dating history, your behaviour and work on you before you head into any relationship, friendships count too!
7) How honest are you? Have you notice people will try not to break your heart, see you cry but rather say things like; "he likes you and that's why he running away". I have learned that if a man wants you or a woman wants you, you will know!! Pay attention to what exactly they want you for.
8) Unsolicited dating advice is the worst! especially from the person not dating, ever dated. People will make it a point to interject into your relationship because they are close too you. The worst is anyone speaking on issues they perceive you have in your relationship, be careful how you take this advice and allow it to affect your relationships.
9) We all have the friend that talks about all their friends business, what makes you think that aren't sharing yours. How genuinely is this person? if that is the case.
10) How successful has your friends relationship been? Are they in happy and loving relationships? Questions you should ask yourself
Remember not to lose yourself in a relationship whether it's friendships or love maintain the you in all off it. Relationships should always uplift you and dating should be the place where you find out what you want, need and will allow into your life: respect, love, honesty, trust and success.
We all have our own definition of what will work for our lives!!!
