More Interestingness.. for all the girls out there

Relationship Principles: (Comments in parenthesis are mine)

#3
He doesn't marry a woman who is perfect. He marries a woman who is interesting.
(Because, face it, perfect is impossible).

#5
Don't believe what anyone tells you about yourself.
(This is so important.. if your self-esteem and self-image are determined by YOU and not whoever you are with at the time, then NO ONE can make you feel bad about yourself.)

#6
Men see how you dress, and then make assumptions about your relationship potential.
(If you're showing too much skin, people assume that's all you have to offer. I hate to say it, but I learned this the hard way. The more skin you show, the less seriously you are taken. People just don't listen to you when they can see your ta-ta's.)

#11
It is better to be disliked for who you are than to be loved for who you are not.
(Yep. Nobody is better than some people.)

#14
Your power gets lost the minute you start asking "Where do I stand?" Because what you've just told him is that the terms of the relationship are his to dictate.
(Yeah, I messed up on this one. I just couldn't stand it! I had to know "where the relationship was going!")

#20
As soon as a woman hands a man a more serious commitment on a silver platter, he'll be reluctant to take it.

#30
The way to weed out the contenders from the pretenders is to assess their attitude about waiting for sex. If he likes you, he'll be happy just being in your company.

#31
The purpose of waiting is not just to seem classier. You also want to give yourself time to observe him and find out key facts about him.
(Cuz what if you really don't like him so much on the 4th date? Or in the second month? Or whatever? If he's already in your bed and/or living with you, it's waaaay too late! This isn't about being a prude.. it's about giving yourself time to decide if YOU want to be with HIM.)

#46
The more rational and calm you remain, the more emotional he will become.

#65
A guy who really thinks you could be "the one" will say very little about marriage. He'll be much more reserved, and will slowly open up over the course of several months, because he won't want to scare you off.
(I can definitely vouch for this one. L wouldn't even utter the M-word! And when he did, it was to propose.)

#74
Men rarely take it as a compliment when you bend over backward or become too agreeable. Men want to feel special, and when you are too nice he feels ordinary, because he assumes you'd acquiesce and become a yes-person with any man.
(Yikes!)
