Don’t Be Thirsty: Signs It’s Time to Fall Back

July 19th, 2011 - By Renay Alize


There’s nothing wrong with letting a man know how you feel about him; it’s courageous, but discretion is key. I like to think there are three types of women, the ones who aren’t scared to put themselves out there, the ones who chase after men and then there’s a third category of women who strap on roller skates to catch up to men who are obviously running away from them. Here are some signs that it might be time to hang up the skates, take off those sweaty socks and rest your pretty little feet for a bit. This advice may sound a little harsh, but a little tough love will only make you less thirsty. Also it’s worth noting that there is no room for judgment here. We could all find ourselves in this position if we haven’t already.

    I do 1000% that some many women need to STOP BEING SO DANG ANGRY AND MAD AT THE WORLD..NOT JUST IN DATING WITH MEN…. BUT TO PEOPLE AT LARGE…I'm a woman and I even encounter the Angry One…for no reason at all..since I'm a stranger to 'em…whatcha' mad about…dang…

    ****Lucky’s best advice****
    The hell with that “Stay thirsty, my friends” commercial! Never give a guy the opportunity to even think you’re thirsty. (And until you know without a doubt that he’s really into you, always keep the upper hand.)

    PS: Renay, this article was on the money!

    I've been engaging in some serious thirst bucket behavior…

    You forgot to list this gem:

    You're on Facebook and you look to see who is online and you see your ex or crush. They NEVER initiate the convo. You always do and guess what.. They are usually the first one to leave the convo whether they say goodbye or not.

      oh and there's another, when you text them and they text you back one word answers. such as oh, ok, nothing, yeah, no, and sup.

    I was dating a child with mother issues, anyway. So with him, his being busy and not returning calls also had a lot to do with his lack of socialization with other people. He was a well-known loner. I know he needed his me time and maybe we were never that much into each other, but I still took a little something from this article.

  • WOOOOOW

    omg same situation that i'm letting go of, especially since he goes home to his was -ex- but -now- we -talking- again girlfriend…

    LOL you are me 4 months ago…. I can tell you this, it gets easier… Take care of YOURSELF first…. Once you nurse your heart back to health, go be a diva and get you a man. But don't rush girl because you will get into something you're not ready for… You are going to crave the closeness you had with that A-hole and you're going to want to have it with someone who may not be ready either…. That's what I've learned thus far… :)

    Good luck getting back to you. You should listen to that Jennifer Hudson song, "I Remember Me." It's got a powerful message.

    If #6 and #7 exist, then why even do #3 and expect #2?

    We as women know that these signs are obvious. Its sad that we put ourselves into these situations. Hell, we'Ve all been in at least 1 of these scenarios im sure. We just have to come to the realization that we dont need a man to complete us. Maybe he is just trying to be nice and not hurt your feelings? The real question is why wont he just "man up" and say "hey, im just not that into you" but that would be too easy right? SOME men dont think like that. We were blessed with the female intuition and she screams sometimes. We are just too naive to pay her attention.
