I have always followed my instincts.

Note:
There is an award waiting for all of you guys on my blog Moe Daily.

Dad is the one who worships and loves her like no other man so I believe its fitting Dad be the one to take her on her first proper date and show her how a man should treat a woman. Same thing for Moms and their sons. Once they go through the experience they will always know the standards they are worthy of.

I dont think you’ll turn into Lunatic Dad. I htink you’ll be so supportive and proud of your girl you will always find a way to work through the muddles of adolescence!

First decide what standards you will and will not accept in a relationship. Remember the basics – name calling, violence, belittling, any kind of verbal or emotional abuse and constant disregard for your feelings are all deal breakers.

Next, write down disrespectful behaviors that you will take note of (be fair, everyone has off days but it pays to learn the behaviors that are disrespectful (research this) so you can teach others what you will and wont tolerate. But if you are constantly being stood up or ignored then you know that is not good). These are your red flags. If these behaviors happen consistently then you can decide on an action to take – discuss it, ask for help or leave the situation.

I would suggest you step back from the situation for a moment and consider the emotional tug-of-war you are going through. If you broke up with her because you didnt trust her, then what has drastically changed to make her trustworthy in your eyes?

At the end of the day you cant change another person or their feelings, you can only change yourself.

Work out your self respect standards, gain some perspective and enjoy people for who they are. If they arent suitable for you thats ok, find others who are. Dating is a great thing but learn to develop strong standards so you can make the best decisions for yourself.

Best of luck.

That said, no one deserves to be taken for granted and/or mistreated. It’s time to kick her to the curb, and explore life. There are plenty of good women out there who’ll appreciate a sweetie like you. My advice, find yourself a confident cougar. She’ll be a wonderful experience and will help you enjoy life to the fullest. Just my two cents.

If there’s anybody else out there who’s having this kind of trouble, I suggest Robert Greene’s Art of Seduction. It’s a pretty good book… teaches everything you need to know about the game. Or, you may want to get yourself acquainted with the seduction community:

They’ll tell you everything you need to know about women. LOL.

Btw, is this Rob character fictional? =)

But let me give you some advice for the future…
If a girl is into you, she will make the time for you and not jerk you around. She will make you a priority. If that’s not happening, then she’s probably not The One. It sucks when you’re on the wrong end of this, but it’s better in the long run. Who wants to spend weeks or months getting yanked around, with no positive resolution in the end? That’s time that would be better spent finding someone that will be there for you.

And as a second bit of advice, once you find that person, you probably shouldn’t break up with her for some lame reason.

Trust, until there’s a good reason NOT to trust.

Okay, Mr. 17 years old… Take it from me, I WAS THIS GIRL! Several times over in fact. She’s using you honey.

She keeps you hanging on, until she doesn’t want you anymore and you start to irritate her. Then she gets loney and starts messing with your head again.

If you want MY advice, and let me forewarn you the GUYS will say this is REALLY shitty advice… BUT, start acting like YOU don’t give a shit. Pretend you don’t want her, don’t answer her phone calls, tell her you’re busy… Things like that.

She will freak the fuck out.

On the other hand, YOU are 17! Go have fun! Quit worrying about ONE chick, go out with 9 girls! DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH ALL OF THEM!!! NO NO!!! Play the field, date, have fun. You’re only young ONCE!
