Short and long term relationships, what have you learned from them? Doesn't even have to be yours, could be a friend's, parent's etc etc.

In my 1st relationship, the biggest lesson I probably learned was that when somebody breaks up with you, do not try to win them back. Say the break up occurs after an angry argument and seems impulsive, just let it go for a day or two so things cool down. Discuss the incident with the other party later in a civil, respectable and logical manner, if they choose not to compromise or look at the situation from a different perspective (not yours necessarily) then just give up and cease. Trying to drive your point across is only gonna make you look controlling and arrogant.

I did not want to believe the importance of power or hand in a relationship but that was the naiive teen in me. Luckily I didnt know her exact address cause she moved or else I probably woulda showed up at her door, or sent some flowers or some shyt to her crib who knows. This aint television though, do that and youve notified them that they have you on lock. You would like to believe it doesnt happen but I've had girls show me text messages and deeds of other dudes like "look at this weak ass nikka :pachaha:.
--

Another big lesson I learned is to follow your instinct. Just because you had a special bond at one point with that person, dont think that they cant possbily cheat, or leave you down and out without any ruths. Often dudes will ignore the signs.

"Nah, no way she dumped me and is already chopping it up with this next dude in that instagram pic. No way is that nikka tweeting her really hittin it up."
"She'll eventually come back, I treated her so well. As soon as she realizes how poor these other dudes are she'll realize." *Proceeds to answer breadcrumb msg*

:comeon: No she wont.

Thats what I got for now....gotta get back to work. What yall got?

If a pretty woman has been single for a while, it's for a reason and that reason isn't always because she chooses to be single.

If someone complains to you about their current significant other and hopes of being with you, don't make the mistake of doing getting with them because it's only a matter of time that you become the complaint.

Mainstream social networking should be taboo in a relationship

The grass is never greener on the other side, it only looks that way because you are spending to much time admiring another lawn when you should wonder how to provide growth to the one you are currently standing on.

Never judge a book by its cover. The most innocent, highly educated and homely looking broad might be the biggest whore you will ever encounter once you get to really know her. That's why I spend A LOT of time talking to women over drinks or phone conversations. Eventually you get them comfortable enough where they start slipping up about the train they got ran on during their first semester of college.

If you broke up with someone after years of being with them, don't feel like you've wasted your time...you can't tell the future, and time= good and bad experiences.

i don't know if i can say i've learned "lessons" as much as i can say past relationships have changed me into the person i am. i use to be really selfless about a lot of things. however, over the years i've taken more time out for myself and it's worked out for the better. i get more of what i want from short term relationships or one night stands, or quick little week long flings, whatever the situation may be. the best part about it is i haven't turned into a greedy selfish person either. i've struck a nice balance. i think it's because my temper has been a lot shorter than it use to be so i don't tolerate as much any more. and then as you get older, you know what you want. more than you use to at least...

Learn how to read your girl. You can't stop her from cheating on you, but you can learn how to read her emotions so you'll instantly know when something is wrong. Part of this goes along with getting to know her really well and constantly talking to her about everything. A lot of men don't know how to communicate effectively with their woman and then she ends up doing all kinds of sly shyt behind their backs, simply because she can. These are the same guys going around claiming every woman will cheat on you.

Tell the truth no matter what even if it hurts. Dont keep secrets. The way you start is the way you finish. Dont get mad if they cheat everybody is human just keep an open heart & on to the next.

Lastly dont force anything

:ahh:

It's also important not to internalize all the bad things that happen.

If you cheat and got caught, or if you beat the girl up...then obviously you deserve to be broken up with. However sometimes people are just not compatible andsometimes people have different ideas of what they want from the relationship. Dont look at it like, "I failed to make another one work." Just learn and cut your losses.
