Seven Ways to Stop Getting Your Heart Broken By a Douche

Don’t pay too much attention on what a boy says

Always remember that most boys will say absolutely anything to get into your pants. That means that there will be a few promises made that are meant to be broken. Know when they’re telling the truth. Just smile and decline offers. Don’t listen to everything he says, and pay more attention to how he acts.

1. Don’t give everything you’ve got all at once. If you really like this guy and want him to stay around longer then don’t give all of your goods in one go. This means that you should probably wait a few days before kissing him and a few weeks or months before having sex.
2. Don’t invest too much emotion early in the game. This is the surefire way to get your heart broken. It’s really too early to say if you’ll be together forever so try not to love him with all of your heart, especially if you haven’t reached the 3^rd date.
3. Listen to how he talks about other people– especially his ex. How he treats his ex is how he’s going to treat you. No ifs and buts about it. He may have changed for you but don’t be surprised if he does anything that makes you doubt his character
4. Have more realistic standards. We all want someone who’s tall, smart, handsome and funny but the truth is, we’re already lucky enough to find two of these traits in one guy. Lowering your standards doesn’t mean settling, it means accepting that your guy is not perfect. Realizing that he’s not perfect will also make you more forgiving of future flaws and will let the relationship last longer.
5. Do not look  for him to complete you. Don’t ever think that your life will not be complete without a significant other. Your life is already complete. Having a boyfriend is just an added bonus. When that boyfriend is taken away you should still be happy and be able to function well in life.
6. Be genuine friends first. A good relationship always has a strong foundation.
