If he’s not calling or texting the way he should, don’t make excuses. He’s not avoidant. He’s just not into you.

 2. If you like someone, make the first move.

It’s the 21st century. Walk up, start the conversation. If he’s interested, he’ll carry it. If not, don’t be embarrassed. He’s simply not your person.

 3. Don’t date if you’re broke.

Focus on your money first. Relying solely on a man can make you vulnerable to being used or embarrassed.

 4. Stop being a wife to your boyfriend.

Cooking and cleaning because you enjoy it is fine. Doing it to earn a “crown” of marriage? You’re fooling yourself.

 5. The talking stage shouldn’t last forever.

Within the first few weeks, you should already know if you want to date them. If he hasn’t asked you out after a month, he’s probably not ready for commitment. Men usually know from the jump if they want to be with someone or not.
