We've seen the story play out a thousand times. Your boyfriend dumps you. He gives no proper explanation, you've had a bad feeling for months, hell hath no fury like a woman unhinged. You turn to your well-meaning friends for sage advice: should I text him? I won't regret it, right? Should I Facebook that girl I think he kissed last summer and bitch her out? Wanna get drunk?
Your friends, equally angry and perhaps a tad afraid of crossing into your line of fire, answer "YES." Wholeheartedly, yes. Text him, bitch her out, get drunk (and forget you texted him six times), lose control. They back up your vengeance, and proofread your desperate pleas to be heard between tequila shots.
Once the storm has passed, you have a chance to look back on your behavior and...well...you're disgusted. WHY did you text him when he clearly never wanted you in the first place? What did that cute girl from last summer have to do with your breakup? And why did you tweet him six times at 3 am talking about ducks?
Friends are great mirrors. They know what you want to hear, and love you too much to reflect otherwise. Unfortunately, your most irrational responses to common dating no-nos tend to come from a place of lack, insecurity, and fear. You suddenly hold on to your lover as if he completes you, and lose all sight of the bangin' aspects you bring to the table. So what if you look like Alessandra Ambrosio? Who cares if you have an ivy league degree and a mean game of flip cup? We often let our romantic relationships distract us from the most important love of our life: self-love.
Self-love is not warm and fuzzy, btw. It's not easy, and sometimes we have to fight our instincts and desires in pursuit of it. That's where we step in. When your first instinct is to put out your cigarette on his face or fill his inbox with teary promises, we will be there to slap a nicotine patch on your ass and shut down your iPhone.
Here's The Situation, Girl follows the Rules (and if you don't know what they are, we'll get you acquainted). We don't believe in emotional manipulation (which the Rules are commonly mistaken for), and we don't believe in playing games. We believe in healthy boundaries, testing the water before committing, self examination, and selfless love. The men we date deserve our attention, and they generously give us their all.
This blog is a reflection of opinion, age-old advice, annoying-but-true cliches, and plenty of research! We will translate dating woes into their basic truths, unravel the mystery, cut the bullshit, and give the answer. Your friends can play good cop- but when you've had enough, try the REAL cop!
To plenty of passion, adventure, romance, and heat---
