Rules For Ladies In Love

By Shelly Davidson
Nov 8, 2009
Ladies, has this ever happened to you? You have a girlfriend, who, time after time, bails on your getting together because she received an invitation from a guy. After you'd already made plans. Because you're such a good friend, you murmur approvingly and say you understand.

But deep down, you're resentful and you're starting to feel neglected. Well guess what? Men don't break their plans with other men to spend an evening with you. Think about that before doing cancelling your night out with the girls to spend it with a guy. In all honesty, if he cares about you at all, he'd tell you to go out and enjoy yourself and make a suggestions for another time.

"First come, First served" is a popular business policy. So why aren't relationships like that too? Being with friends occasionally is not going to tear a strong relationship apart. Actually it will make it stronger because it shows all concerned that you have a life of your own too. Don't forget, you've likely known your friends a lot longer than you've know your sweetie.

Now, there are probably a few women out there that may be saying that you shouldn't let your friends come between you and your man. On the flip side, should you let your man come between you and your friends? Think about it. There are a certain percentage of women who meet someone new and begin dating and then become totally involved with their man.

Their newfound relationship consumes their whole life. They barely call their friends just to chat, and have no desire to since the woman feels that he is all she needs. Sometimes her productivity at works slows down or her career plans are put on hold for him. Some of you may be saying "oh, that's not me", but it can happen unconsciously.

Love is supposed to complement who you are. It's not supposed to leave you brain dead and lose your friends and maybe even your job. If the relationship doesn't last, you'll need your friends more than ever. The same people that you don't have time for now will be the one picking up the pieces when your lover hits the road.

Though your friends may not say it to your face, they likely want to but didn't for fear of ruining what is left of your friendship. Your most caring friends will keep their mouth shut and give you a much needed hug while you pour out your sob story. Which, incidentally, was entirely of your own making.

If the man you are seeing is not able to understand that you have a life outside of him, then you don't need him. A woman needs to remember that she does not have to lose her identity just to be in love or involved in a relationship.
