All men are going to give you headaches; so, at least choose one who won't leave you broke and destitute!
Worrying about being able to afford things is always so much harder than worrying about missing a date or two because your man works hard at a good job.
And just a side note about those "hometown" boys from your past that movies glamorize as a "missed connection..." Sis, trust meee when I say that it is a connection that deserves to be missed. There's nothing in the rearview mirror that you missed with that guy. He's a loser! The most abusive relationships I ended up in were with "friends" from my hometown who "always loved me" that I had known for 13 years.
These guys from your past deserve to stay there. If he ever wanted you as badly as he claims, he would have nabbed you when he had the chance. He would never risk letting you go if his feelings were ever really that strong for you.
These types are liars and their, "Oh my gosh, I loved you for so long..." claims are born out of boredom and the unfortunate chance that you caught him in a lull.
Don't look back at these guys and don't give them a chance. This is especially important to remember as the holidays roll around. The holidays are prime season for these goons to shoot their shot when you go to visit family, etc. Just don't!
And, as always, date RICH! I'd take the guy who has to give up a couple of dates with me to secure us a stable life over slobby, broke losers who never did anything with themselves any day.
I wish movies would stop normalizing/romanticizing the concept of "going back a man" who you initially rejected. More often than not, he can and WILL spend the bulk of your relationship punishing you for saying no the first time around. It's a prime recipe for abuse
I hated the recent movie with Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans for the very same reason. No sane woman would pick Chris Evans' character.
