Sound bits of advice?

Thanks to HallMark, we have access to greeting cards for every occasion...whether it is breaking up or making up, new births or saddening death, or just because.

There is also sayings for everything you could ever possibly want a saying for. From Bible quotation for you religious folk, to adult comedy and every thing that falls in between.

There's the ever popular, "The best way to get over one guy is too get under another."

Is it just me, or is soooo many females saying that now-a-days? I was involved in a break-up with my boyfriend last summer, and I was told this this nugget of wisdom countless times. Is that really the norm for women today?

Don't worry, I dismissed the idea. Perhaps it was contemplated...a few times.. but I ended up dismissing it on grounds of morals and all that good-girl stuff.

Another saying that I have had bouncing around my head for awhile is, "Never make a man a priority when he considers you an option."

I'm trying to decide if it applies to me in any way or not. Why else would it keep bouncing around like a mad person in a rubber room if it didn't? (**echoes of Larry the Cable Guy, "Lord I apologize for that one right there..."**)

What do you think, Dear Reader? Is either one of these quotes a sound bit of advice?

I think the best advice is to follow your own instincts, Seana. The fact that you want to stay true to yourself with the good girl image and all is very commendable. To thy self be true is what I always say.

I agree with them both, however I understand morals and values. But you really should never make a man a priority if you're only an option, that's important to keep in mind.

I dunno...



"The best way to get over one guy is too get under another."



I'm sure that works for some people...I'm far from a prude and not opposed to sex with no strings, but using that as a way to get over someone seems kinda silly. More than likely it will just complicate and already complicated situation...



"Never make a man a priority when he considers you an option."



I have no idea if that really applies to you...maybe only he does. But I'd consider it sound advice...if you're not the most important thing in their lives...I wouldn't call it love.

You're not an option, I couldn't quit you if I tried. Maybe someday I can rank as a priority.
