Us men have to stop thinking if your date might be 'the one' after even a solid 5 months of going out.
I've gone through one year relationships in which I knew it was slowly going downhill, but the girl had got me into thinking that the relationship would be everlasting regardless of difficulties so I tried to hang on. It was all bs.
Make no exceptions, because everybody has a breaking point. Don't find this out the hard way, save yourself and if you're under 20, just have fun. Be serious later.
Your moms do teach you something right. Though they are just trying to protect you, they've also said something very helpful in a way. How many of us have heard "No girlfriends before college?" or something of similar nature? I used to just shrug it off, but now I embrace it. Though I am still in a LTR that is on a downhill, their words are trying to protect your heart. You might disagree. But that is my perspective now.
Flirting and meeting new women, building up your connections so that you never have to be walking alone on the street unless you choose to - that is the way to go. You hear it all the time. Guys who give up their friends for a girl. Don't be like that, because in the end, your friends are the ones who will support you, if they are true friends. Bros before hoes. Remember that.
HOW OFTEN...
Have you gotten into a predicament, and even with the knowledge you now possess...even though you knew better than to go AFC, you became one for a minute because you thought your girlfriend was an exception. You thought she would be the one, maybe you thought you would be like those couples who last from highschool until the end of life. That only happens to very lucky people. Don't take your chances. Like another thread had said in the past, protect your heart.
People will label you cold-hearted for putting yourself first, yet that is the only way to survive. Be a survivor, not a mourner.
