This is why you need to know what you’re willing and not willing to put up with before you invest your time in a guy. Having a set of rules or guidelines gives you standards that will allow you to make cold, rational, and what may feel like risky decisions when it comes to dating and relating with men. You won’t have to try to make excuses for any particular guy because you’ve decided to become a woman with boundaries. Interestingly, every time you walk away from a distasteful dating situation you make an investment in your self-respect.
