We've all met him...
That sweet talking guy that says everything we want to hear and uses cute little names like "baby, love, doll & sweetheart" He shows up at your door with one single long stemmed rose, opens the car door and places his hand on your lower back when you walk. He pulls you in with talks of what he's hoping to find, the future he has in mind and a million compliments of how beautiful you are. As soon as the doubts are gone...suddenly he is too. He's not ready for a relationship, he wishes he was because you're perfect for him! He's just not ready to move on from his past yet....until someone better than you comes along.
So here you sit, with your heart in one hand and the complex he gave you in the other. No need to get upset or let the tears fall because this time its okay, this time you knew better and this time you followed your instincts. You knew that all those little things he said to you he also said to the dozens of women before you and as hard as it was, you didn't let yourself fall for him. You had the sense to follow your instinct and back away as soon as you heard those words "I'm not ready". You knew this was code for "You aren't the one that I'm looking for but we can have fun well I look for the right one"
As women we tend to hear what we want to hear, we want to hear that we're beautiful and that we're accepted for our faults no matter what they are and more than anything...we want to be loved. Does that mean that we ignore that small voice in the back of our heads that tell us to back away? No...it means that we become smarter and we follow our hearts and try to listen to what our heads are telling us because for the most part, we're always right when it comes to instincts!
