1. We will not be desperate. You heard me. Live your life; enjoy your passions. Put the cell phone down, and stop texting. For the love of God... let the guy pursue you.
2. We’ll give "Mr. Nice Guy" a chance and stop dating the player. Please cease and desist from giving away your goods to a man you barely know.
3. We’ll teach Nice Guy a few of the player's bedroom moves. Passion is fun, after all.
4. We will not shave our legs before a first date. We need a little insurance policy. You know what I'm talking about.
5. We will engage in PDA. When we're not in church, all deals are off!
6. We won’t abandon the rest of our lives (including relationships with friends and family) just because we’ve met someone new. Or put off applying for unemployment or food stamps, if need be.
7. When he sends us a single line text, we will refrain from three text messages, a Facebook posting and a poke in responding. Or send a but in the mirror pic when we're feeling drunk and flirty.
8. We will smile at handsome strangers on a daily basis. Oh yes, thank you, Lord, for the good-looking guys! P.S. Enrique Iglesias: I'm single and available.
9. We will refrain from private messages with men in relationships. Period.
10. We will stop telling ourselves we are too old, too plump, too busy, too many kids, too boring, or too short for love. We are only short of hot looking men pursuing us.
11. We will quit sexting cold turkey. The guy who sends us a "Weiner" (unsolicited penis pic) is toast.
12. We will make a habit of looking hot before we walk out the door. (Just in case we have a run-in with Mr. Right. Or Mr. Hot and Single).
13. We’ll invest less in thinking about marriage and more about retirement. After all, being independent is sexy to the opposite sex.
14. We will not use Facebook to air our life drama. When we're DARN sure the man is going to stick around, we'll change our status to "in a relationship."
15. We will stop kissing frogs hoping for the fairytale romance. They remain frogs, but our rose-colored glasses make them into Antonio Banderas.
16. We’ll learn to trust our intuition more – and take our friends’ and family’s advice with a healthy grain of salt. Listening is a virtue.
17. We will get out of our comfort zone to meet men. Meaning: love won't come knocking on your door, so head out, and get a life!
18. We will cut all ties to cheaters. Hats off to Sandra, Halle, and Reese.
19. We won’t be afraid to define the relationship before we sleep with men. But for safety, refer to #2.
20. We will ignore all of our silly dating “deal breakers” involving height, eye color, nerdiness and shoe size. But he must respect us, can't be a sociopath, and for goodness sake, he better shoot chemistry darts with his glance.
21. We will write new dating must-haves that include kindness, honesty, love and commitment. And surprises us with little nothings because he is a sentimental fool.
22. We’ll use our backbones more often than our wishbones when it comes to love.
23. We’ll spend more time with guys who make us laugh and less time with guys who make us cry.
24. We will enjoy living our lives to the fullest, and only include the men worthy of our precious free time to savor them together. "Settling" is for sand on the ocean floor.
25. We will cherish the kind of person who brings added joy to our already awesome lives. Bonus points if they make us laugh, or are good dancers. Good cook? Getoutahee.
Love yourself, love each other, and don't take a moment for granted. What tips would you add to this list?
