FOR WOMEN ONLY

12 Things Men Wish Women Knew

1. He does not read minds.  Tell him what you really want, need and desire.

2. If you sleep with him early in the relationship, he will respect you less or not at all.  Having sex with you does not mean he loves you, wants a commitment, etc.  Having sex with you means he wanted to have sex with you.

3. If he wants your help he will ask for it.  Please do not give him unsolicited advice.

4. If he treats you badly, hurts your feelings, etc., you must stand up to him.

5. He does not like arguing with you.  He’d much rather come to a quick compromise.

6. He does not always know what he is feeling and that’s why he cannot share his feelings with you.

7. Just because he is quiet does not mean that he is upset, considering leaving you, etc.  He just doesn’t feel like talking – possibly for one reason or a number of reasons.  Respect his solitude.

8. He wants a good looking woman on his arm. Do not ignore your appearance and let yourself go.

9. He wants to be respected above everything  else.

10. He desires respect more than love.

11. He does not want to hear about your ex – for any reason – not even to make a point.

12. If he says one thing but does another thing, go with what he does.  He actions speak louder (most of the time).

Tips for Not Getting Played

Do not have sex with him early in the relationship. 

Do not give or lend him money for any reason.  If he asks you out on the first date, do not pay no matter what.  If he "forgot" his money or credit card, you pay for your meal and let him work out his bill with the restaurant.

Be cautious about having access only to a man via his cell phone.  Granted, these days, many people use their cell phone as their home phone but just be watchful. Also, you should be able to call him whenever you want - within reason.

Do not continue to date a man who cannot invite you to his place after several dates.  He may be living with another love interest or he may be living in a dump.  You should not want to deal with either scenario.

Do not allow yourself to be compartmentalized.  Make sure you meet the people most important to him early in the relationship.  If he doesn't proudly and openly introduce you to friends and family, there's a reason and it's usually not in your favor.

Do not assume anything, watch everything and trust your gut (instinct, spirit).
