What's My Line...What planet are you from?

I really pay attention to all of my young friends as they are dating and having relationships and some are quite serious. Some are ready to take the leap and they are stewing because they aren't sure. This and other things I have heard have really sent my red flags flying. Some are quite humorous that anyone would believe some of the "lines" that are floating around. It also connects with the book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. You say one thing..but mean another so if you are in a relationship, beginning one, ending one, restarting one, then pay attention. You might just recognize a few things. Here is a collection of them...and from both genders. We will start with the guys:

  • "I want to take things slowly so it happens naturally"....(what he really means is that he isn't done messing around yet)
  • "I didn't lie...I swear...I just left some stuff out".... (watch it girls...this one is a liar through and through and will lead you to heartache)
  • "I want to develop a friendship and get to know you before I commit." (In most cases this is good because you want to be friends....however, if he is "talking" to girls at work, girls to meet for lunch, girls to email and text and instant message along with you....then you have some problems and how do you know who he is talking to and who he isn't? Is he a techy kind of guy that spends his time "talking" to others...honey...he ain't talking...he is playing)
  • "I don't want people to think I am wishy washy so we should keep this hush hush for a while.." or
  • "I don't want people to think I am jumping from one girl to another so we can see each other and when the time is right, we can let others know" (girls, he is messing around on you and doesn't want you to cramp his style)
  • "I really care about you but I don't want to commit unless I am absolutely sure. "(Do you know for sure he isn't messing around with and kissing on someone else?)
  • "I am so confused right now....be patient. " (all the while he is having a good old time telling his other "girls" the same story that you have just heard.
    If he was "confused" once and dumped you or cheated on you while he was confused....are you ever going to be sure you can trust him ever again? (once a cheater and liar....always a cheater and liar)

Ok ladies...now your turn...Guys beware:

I was really hurt..so I need to be alone (all the while she is out at Fever having a great time dancing with anything in pants)

I am very social (look out guys...she likes to be out there)

I have a guy friend that is my best friend (watch it so that the best friend isn't a cozy cuddle up friend too)

I trust you (don't count on it)

I love you but I am not ready to committ (yeah....still not done with the social scene)

I just need some time.... (how is she spending her time?)
Here is the thing. Two people can be attracted to each other and may want to explore the possibilities. That is awesome. People shouldn't "play" on each other and do things behind each other's backs.

If a relationship is good...it shouldn't be hidden. If there is respect, there should never be cheating, if there is real love, you shouldn't have to wonder if the other person is "talking" to someone as "friends".

Forever is a long time. Don't settle for anyone who is an idiot and cheats on you. You are worth more than that.....DON'T BE AFRAID TO WALK AWAY ....God doesn't make junk but some take what they have and turn it into junk......

THATS RIGHT....I WATCH DR. PHIL.....I HAVE THEM ALL RECORDED.....THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH....
