1. Give up Your Dreams
You should settle down with someone who wants the same things out of life as you do. That way, you won't have to give up your dreams for them. Instead, you can live our your dreams together.
2. Quit Your Job
If you love your job, don't let your partner convince you to quit. If you were with the right person, they'd support your career choice.
Frequently asked questions
Oh wow, people get really creative and sometimes a bit wild when it comes to love! From skydiving with a marriage proposal banner to getting matching tattoos on a first date, there are limitless examples of crazy things people have done.
Love makes us do all sorts of irrational, emotional, and sometimes risky things! It’s a powerful emotion that often pushes us out of our comfort zones. We want to show our partner how much we care and sometimes end up going overboard.
Well, that really depends. If it's safe and it makes both you and your partner happy, then go for it! But if it’s something super risky or might harm you or someone else, it’s better to think twice. Balance is key!
That’s a fun question! Personally, I once traveled across the country to surprise my partner on their birthday. It was exhausting, but the look on their face was totally worth it! What about you?
No, not at all! Love isn't about grand gestures or doing something out of a movie scene. It’s about genuine feelings and actions that show you care. Sometimes the smallest things mean the most!
3. Kill
Don't let your feelings convince you to do anything crazy. If the person you love hurts you, you can't solve the problem with violence. You'll only make it all worse.
***
It's vital to remember that letting rage dictate your actions can lead to a spiral of regret. Embrace healthier ways to cope with emotional pain, like talking to a trusted friend, seeking solace in creative outlets, or even consulting a professional. Love might feel all-encompassing, but it should never compromise your integrity or freedom. Channel that passion into actions that foster healing and self-love, because true love does not harm. Keep in mind, the best revenge is living well and finding happiness within yourself—not in the shadows of a love gone wrong.
4. Get into Fights
Don't get into a fist fight with someone over your partner. There's no reason to compete for their affection.
5. Spend All of Your Money on Them
Your partner shouldn't expect you to waste your paycheck on gifts for them. They should be happy with the little gifts you give them everyday, like your kisses and your hugs.
***
Love can drive people to do some crazy things, and spending all of your money on a partner is no exception. Many people have gone to extreme lengths to show their partner how much they care, from buying a car to booking a romantic getaway.
For some, it’s a way to show their commitment to the relationship. For others, it’s a way to make their partner feel special. No matter the reason, spending all of your money on a partner is a huge sign of love.
However, it’s important to remember that love doesn’t always have to be expressed through material goods. There are plenty of other ways to show your partner how much you care. Small gestures, like making them breakfast in bed or sending them a sweet note, can be just as meaningful.
It’s also important to remember that love doesn’t have to be expensive. Even the smallest gifts, like a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates, can make a big impact.
6. Change Your Appearance
Don't wear the type of clothing your partner likes, even though you hate it. You shouldn't alter your appearance just to please a man. He should like you just the way you are.
7. Change Your Personality
Changing your personality is just as bad as changing your appearance. You shouldn't have to pretend to be someone you're not in order to get a boyfriend. There's someone out there that will love you, flaws and all.
8. Stalk Them
If your crush is the right one for you, you won't have to stalk him in order to feel like you're a part of his life.
***
if you find yourself checking their last seen online at 3 AM or scrolling through their Facebook profile to see if there's anyone new in their pictures, it might be time to step back. Sure, a little curiosity is natural, but obsessive virtual behavior can take an unhealthy toll on your emotional well-being. Embrace trust and let your connection grow naturally without the constant surveillance. After all, real love blossoms in an environment of respect and space, not through the scrutiny of a screen.
9. Lie
Don't lie in order to impress your man. He's going to find out the truth eventually, and then you'll be in a whole lot of trouble.
10. Steal
Your boyfriend will understand it if you're too broke to buy him a birthday gift. Don't steal in order to impress him. He'd prefer a handwritten card to a stolen game system.
11. Lower Your Standards
You should never lower your standards, just so you can say you have a boyfriend. It's better to be single than in a relationship with someone who treats you poorly.
12. Keep Them Hidden Away
Some people will actually keep their partner hidden away out of jealousy. Of course, that's unfair. They deserve to live their life, just like you do.
13. Move across the Country
You can't leave your home town, your friends, and your job without thinking it through. Sometimes, leaving behind everything you love for one person is a mistake.
***
You can't leave your home town, your friends, and your job without thinking it through. Sometimes, leaving behind everything you love for one person is a mistake. Uprooting your entire life can place immense stress on a relationship, and the romantic gesture might not justify the loss of stability and support you're accustomed to. New beginnings might sound exciting, but they come with challenges that can strain even the strongest bonds. It's essential to weigh the pros and cons and have open conversations about future plans and potential sacrifices. Ultimately, ensuring both partners are on the same page is crucial.
14. Dump Your Friends

Don't ignore your friends once you find a boyfriend. If you two ever break up, then you'll be alone in the world.
15. Stop Taking Your Birth Control

Some women will stop using protection in order to get pregnant, because they think it'll keep their man around. Of course, that's a horrible idea, because he could still leave.
16. Starve Yourself
Your partner shouldn't care about your weight. That means there's absolutely no reason to starve yourself in order to make your body look "better" for him.
17. Ruin Your Life
Some people will completely ruin their lives, just because they're in love. Don't let that happen to you. There are more important things in life than relationships.
Love is a beautiful thing, so don't ruin its reputation by doing these horrible things. Do you know anyone who has done something foolish in the name of love?
