  "After the first date, wait for the guy to call first." Big mistake, worst advice. This guy also, waited for ME to call him first. So, by the time I finally decided to call him.....it was kinda too late. He tells me, "I didn't think you were interested in me, because you never called me after our 1st date, and I'm kinda seeing someone else right now." I explained that I had waited for HIM to call me, and he smiled, and replied, "You know, there isn't anything wrong with girls calling guys, it's 2009!"

  My Mom, said and I quote, : dont be dumb, make sure he puts the house in your name and you get half"

  Truthfully I agree that when you get married it should be 50/50 but my guy went through a lot of crap in his last marriage and got screwd really bad. So i completely understand if he does not want the house to be in my name, and I am showing him that I dont need the house in my name or half of everythiing. if for some reason we are to break up I will leave in Peace with only my belongings..And that is what i told my mom... I love this man, i dont need his money or house..Just his Love...

  My Mother. Don't take dating advice from someone who has been out of the dating game since 1986. Times change and so do people. Some get bitter while other grow more to the wise.

  A friend said about a guy I dated a few times, "maybe you're not overwhelmed with passion for him but that doesn't matter. The point is, he's nice."

  Is it better to be with someone who's "nice" or someone who makes your blood boil.

  Check out my blog post about it (would love to hear what you think): http://tartandsoul.com/2009/08/23/the-one-you-feel-passionate-about-isnt-the-one-you-should-marry/

  An ex-girlfriend, she said and I should tell any new girlfriend that we will always be friends and that she would need to accept that. YEAH, that went over real well.....lol

  When I was still dating guys, my older sister told me "If he's really controlling, that means he's just doing what's best for you." Yeah, right. And my dad told me that I shouldn't speak unless spoken to. (I come from a very twisted family) I told them both to shove it.

  I mostly got good advice especially from mom, only I didn't take it and then paid for it. Her best advise was, 'don't take any sh!t from anyone especially a man'. I learned that one the hard way. She gave me some great advice only I was deaf to it until I realized later she was right on.

  Bad Advice:

  Make sure you and your husband go to bed together : I promise it does not work when he has the dy off the next day and you have to be up at 5:30am

  IMO: Take seperate vacations
