Love Rules You Should Have Learned in High School

August 28th, 2011 - By Grace N. Edwards

Accepting Poor Manners

In high school you may have tolerated him rolling up and beeping the horn for a date. Maybe as teenager you may have even thought it was OK for him to ignore you when he was around his friends. Now that you’re an adult, you should demand the proper respect from any man you spend time with. He should be a gentleman and show deference.

What are some some childish things that you you’ve seen grown women do in the name of love?

    What if you didn't date in High School? So I guess this doesn't apply to everyone. I was busy getting good grades and joining clubs, I wasn't into the guys and the guys avoided me with all cost because I was this nerdy, awkward girl with braces and a ponytail. Well, life is a dance, you learn as you go.

    I’m guilty of number 4. Lol, I did it last night, embarrassed wasn’t even the word for how I felt when I woke up today. Never EVER will I do that again.

    @anna, I didn’t read the list but your comment needs to be addressed on there. Blaming men for your problems is just as high school as everything else. Those childish games obviously haven’t worked in building something meaningful. This is where women mess up. How are you going to try to tell a dude what he wants?

      Like she's the only on in the relationship? She's got her flaws but HE'S perfect? Please, spare me.

    It's not about women still on some high school sh!t…

    It's about MEN STILL ON THAT HIGH SCHOOL SH!T. I know girls mature faster than boys but damn! After grad, you should have graduated from certain habits too. If the men would get off their childish games, we wouldn't need to tap into our 14-year old self.

      @Anna
      This is VERY true. Most men are still on some high school sh!t. Unfortunately in the black community today we've managed to get a lot of our social values backward. Today what's smart and grounded is made out to be lame and boring and what's stupid, dangerous and obviously temporary is made out to be vanguard, daring and flashy or exciting. So all of the good guys who are building towards something REAL and thinking on their own are often ignored or passed over for the so called 'bad boys' or popular jerk types. By the time the good guy has a foothold on things, he's either behind the curve socially or embittered because of his experiences and wants some get back by way of dating exclusively outside of his race or using his success to become a playboy by emulating the 'bad boys' that women seem to covet. There are exceptions to this rule but this is the popular trend that I see.
      The solution??? Find and focus on positive men and women as much as possible. Be as real and positive and cool as you can and similar people should come into your world. For a guy like me this is what's happening and though I haven't found the love of my life yet I am still a better person for it and I've definitely surrounded myself with more positive people.
      Good luck to all of you!

    Blowing up his phone crazy because men/woman still do this bs makes not since

  • Caesar

    This article is OK, you can't base common sense on age! It should not be a surprise ( this day in age) that you have 40 year olds still gossiping about their friends personal lives or trying to fight someone over a man (yes this stuff does exist). At the end of the day to each it's own!

    Dont have sex on the first date!!

  • Ms Turner

    I'll admit I have seen someone as husband material after 2 phone convos. I have grown up and opened my eyes. I will say I can't help it because I am 24 and still a virgin and ready to lose it, but not to just anyone. I just don't want to be a 30+ year old virgin so I need a man to help me release all of this energy. I need someone that doesn't make me want to vomit. I digress.

    • dee

      Please please please… stay a virgin. don't give in!!! Put the energy you have into enjoying your dating life and developing LASTING friendships with good men that don't get complicated because of sex.

    • guest

      terrible advice lol

  • numero uno

    Either a man loves and wants to be with you or he doesn't. The most childish thing a woman can do is put a man down. Don't nag, criticize, disrespect, accuse, or think you are more of a man than a man, at the end of the day he is still a man. Another thing is being clear on what you want, if him, act like it. Stop being jealous of every woman in his presence, he will either want you or want them. The bad thing about this is that a lot of good women do these things unconsciously.

    • dee

      and when he doesn't want to be with you, and you see him with the next woman. Don't trip. Cry in your pillow, eat a pound of chocolate and let him go!

  • MiniNeicy

    im am 15 , I admit i kinda do all these things besides the phone convo situations. because i don't have his number and i will not ever blow up someone phone even if i did have their number . But i can get a bit jealous when i see him around another girl but i will never try to make someone jealous because i know how bad it feels.

  • JustAshley

    Apparently a lot of females haven't gotten the memo, cause I see and hear about this kinda nonsense left and right.

    What's even more retarded is that a whole lot of guys think that if a woman DOESN'T do these things- she doesn't like him.

      That's f'd up lol

    THIS article should be posted everywhere on my college campus!!! LOL Such as shame these things still go on with a bunch of 23-25 year olds…

  • jalitaspeaksout

    1. if he tells you to call him back in 10 minutes, but you call him back in 20-30 minutes so you don't seem desperate, is soo obvious.

    2. begging him to ask you out, or make you his "girlfriend"

    3. seeing him as husband material after 2 phone convos.

    4. talking to his friends about him to get more information or start drama.
