Alexis: which means if you want to go LMK!
MY PASSPORT IS EXPIRED. I COULD BE IN PARIS IN 4 DAYS.
You know, I’ve had friends tell me “You should get that passport renewed” and to them I always scoffed and said “I’ll do it when I need to.”
PARIS IN FOUR DAYS. ALL OF THOSE YEARS OF FRENCH WOULD PAY OFF IN PARIS IN FOUR DAYS.
This girl is getting her passport renewed TOMORROW.
So, internet, want to come?
Deal Breaker: You are Bella from 'Twilight'
So, we can’t date because you’re sort of seeing someone? Okay, well maybe we could sort of see each other too? Oh, you’re really into him. That’s cool. If it doesn’t work out, I’d love to- no, I wasn’t implying that you’d break up, I just mean sometimes relationships end. What? Promised to him for eternity? You think you’re going to be together for eternity? Dude, you’re what, like 18? Chances are, you’re going to break up when you go to college. College is basically a reset button for your whole life, and a guarantee that you’re going to be boning a bunch of dudes on some very creaky twin mattresses surrounded by Fight Club posters and weed leaf tapestries. Good luck explaining that to the love of your life via confessional late night Skype session.
Just forget it. Have fun with your sparkly boyfriend. I respect your weird obsession. The way you’re talking about him, the sex must be unbelievable, so I can’t argue with- WHAT. NO SEX? And you barely even kiss each other? And if you have sex, you think it’s going to kill you? What do you do then? STARE AT EACH OTHER IN THE WOODS? You stare longingly at each other while he rattles off lines that sound like they were paraphrased from the Romeo and Juliet Cliff Notes? Yeah, this has staying power written all over it. All I’m saying is, you’re cute, but you don’t know anything about love right now. If you think you’re going to feel this weird stammering, bottom lip biting puppy love thing in 5 years, then you’re living in a fantasy. An elaborately plotted, insufferably boring fantasy sprawling across books and movies, constructed by a very wealthy mormon cat lady. Have a nice life, just don’t call me when you get sick of close range, smoldering eye contact and a lifetime of lady blue-balls.

Stop making excuses.
- If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
- If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
- Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
- Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that is 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 the relationship is you.
- Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
- Maintain boundaries in how a man treats you. If something bothers you, speak u
- You cannot change a man’s behavior. Change comes from within.
- Don’t EVER make him feel like he is more important than you are… even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him 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 of the bending…. compromise is a 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 knows where you are, and you’re always readily avaliable 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.
