As someone who was divorced by 22 my biggest piece of advice is do not let red flags go just because you love someone. It's better to be alone than to be with someone who doesn't appreciate you.

Don't date for potential. Also don't date men that come from the slums. I'm telling you, I spent my 20s giving men chances because I refused to believe dating men that had less education, less money, come from bad neighborhoods etc because I swore people were being too hard on them. I'm telling women in their 20s, only date men who match you or better. Date UP. Every now and then a man that has less or come from less will come through and suprise you but not often. Most of the time, they dog you out and you're left embarrassed because he was a dusty lol. You will save yourself a lot of stress dating someone on your level

I think the point about knowing what you want is great, because what I want isn't what others may want. Being wined and dined is okay, but not my favorite thing for dating. Being treated "like a lady" doesn't mean that much to me. Being treated like an intelligent conversationalist, an interesting artist, and an admirable activist matter SO much more to me, so I look for relationships that will provide that, and will inspire me to feel the same about him.

Something my mom told me to do when u don't know what u want in a person. She said to make a list of all the things I want in someone and be that person and make a list of the things u don't want.

This spoke directly to my 31 year old heart!! So much growth 💪❤️

Boundaries and high standards and expectations are a must. They might find it impossible to reach you, but what matters is that they try, and if they can't reach high enough, you leave them down there.
Edit: to clarify, because I already see some crusties trying to be edgy, but I do not mean with materials. I mean with basic human decency and respect. The bar should never be low, and you cannot fix nobody, nor will that ever be your job.

I just started dating after 26 year marriage and I’m 54 and I need those lessons now!!💯

When I first started dating in the 90s, we didn’t have text messages so we had to talk😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Not knowing how it feels to be wined and dined and only being offered situationships is so common for anyone dating black men. You've been warned 😭

[essamendagarriques]

If you can’t define the relationship there is no relationship 🙌🏾 that one right there!!

another thing, stop telling people everything you want in a partner right out the gate, I promise you almost every person you've done this with had seemed perfect at first until yhe mask comes off, don't tell them until y'all are official.

Girl you look much better without makeup, I know it's unusual but true💜

[colleenvarney]

I never considered that last bit but I just got done doing that with a man and now he's MIA. I can't explain it but you ain't lying.

[NadiaSoFlyy]

Has anyone ever told you you kind of look like Tia and tamera 😁

[loidaquinones]

Girl I thought you were 20!!! I'm 42 and watch all of your videos keep stay inspired and keep them coming!!! I actually follow your tips!!❤

[princessleai]

#3 & #4 - I felt those hard. Partly the reason why I’m single again

[SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade]

Meanwhile I’m thinking sis is in her 20s… you look good to be in your 30s

Don't let others influence you to date someone you're clearly not interested in. It's ok to say no (you're not being difficult or a b**ch). A real friend would understand.

Second, don't date for potential. See people for who they are the first time.
