I'm still young, so it's some pretty basic stuff:
- Just because you are very attracted to someone doesn't mean you'd be right for each other. Try to see the person more objectively.
- Guys who flirt & get your number may not be genuinely interested in you. Don't be surprised if they never call.
- People who jump from long term relationship to long term relationship are often afraid of being alone and are often in shallow relationships with the wrong person. Better to stay single than to go that route.
- Looks rarely grow on me. Either the guy is attractive to me or he isn't.
The first one is so true, but easy to forget.
The second one applies to women as well. They'll flirt, but it doesn't always mean they're interested.
The third one reminds me of a lot of women I know. They can't stand the idea of being alone, as if being unattached reflects poorly on them. So they end up with guys who treat them like dirt. Afterward, they're left wondering why they have such bad luck with relationships.
You may change your mind about the last one. I used to think attraction had to be immediate. But there have been plenty of times where the attraction grew as I got to know the person better and discovered how wonderful they were. Doesn't always happen, but when it does, you kick yourself for not noticing that person sooner. The reverse is also true. If someone reveals themselves to be an awful person, you'll become less forgiving about their looks.
i probably could have made that a shorter title. oh well.
anyway i didnt realize until recently that just because a guy is flirting with you, doesnt mean he is interested. it is very frustrating, but i learned not to take flirts seriously at all. i didnt learn it until i asked out this guy in my grad program. he had flirted with me a few times and even once said something like "would you ever go out with a mexican guy?" and i took that as a sign he was interested. he wasnt.
The 1 thing I learned is that alot of women who would not give me the time of the day, all of a sudden changed their mind and wanted to go out with me once they found out I won $100,000 off a scratch ticket.

Not very smart women. $100K won't even buy you a decent 2 bedroom condo in a decent city.
