Advice from Oprah About MEN :)

* If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.

* If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

* Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour.

* Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

* Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.

* Slower is better.

* Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

* If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".

* A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

* Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

* 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.

* The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

* Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?

* Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

* Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.

* If something bothers you, speak up.

* Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

* You cannot change a man's behaviour. Change comes from within.

* Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job.

* Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

* Never let a man define who you are.

* Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

* A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

* All men are NOT dogs.

* You should not be the one doing all the bending... compromise is two way street.

* You need time to heal between relationships...

* There is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.

* You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complimentary... not supplementary.

* Dating is fun... even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

* Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him – he takes it for granted.

* Never move into his mother's house.

* Never co-sign for a man.

* Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.

* Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
