To not be a self-hating and self-loathing whiney little bitch who drags his problems unto his own girlfriend. To be strong in a relationship and not so emotionally needy. To realize that before anyone else can love you, you must first love yourself.
That I wasn't quite fit for it. My preferences depend too much on whether they care for me or not, and affection, and I am far too honest with them. It taught me that sometimes, it's not good to trust them whole.
People aren't always good. Sometimes when someone says they love you, they don't really mean it. He taught me that there are people in the world that can and will manipulate and use you to make themselves feel better.
that if i don't become colder/cynical the relationship will not last more than a year or so... being told i am too nice and caring is bad caused me a lot of confusion and later i became depressed because of it
Never date anybody younger than you, never date in high school, never date a guy whos skinnier than you and can't life you (being the bigger spoon isn't fun), never go out with someone you just met.
Never get with someone that is still friends with their ex. When he says"oh, don't worry. We ended on mutual terms, she's with someone, and I'm happy with you." He's lying.
my last relationship taught me, that you could me the most loyal person with the highest amount of respect and passion, but still break up because someone can't think Clearly and decide how to see you.
This wasn't a relationship, but I've learned a few things from the last person I dated that I felt close to.
1. Never ignore or overlook red flags, regardless of how cute someone is or how much they have in common. Not that I ignored red flags but more or less kept going for the person despite the red flags. 2. If someone tells you who they are, believe them. 3. If someone acts hot and cold consistently and is newly single, it most likely won't last.
Communication is important. If two people hold their problems with the relationship in, things won't end well. There needs to be transparency not fear.
sometimes love isn't enough from the beginning it was already over. I really do think we're meant to be but it wasn't our time our dreams need to be done
That I need to be more selfless on my relationships. Also I tend to self sabotage my relationships. And less controlling; as in not always needing to be the one who makes plans
- you can't trust women. - long distance relationships don't work. if you have a 45 min drive each way, without traffic, you can't just "drop by". Every time you want to get together it is a outing.
Not to stay with the girl after she does something wrong, not to date girls with daddy issues, not to date a girl that constantly compares me to her ex, not to date a girl that lies and not to date a girl that thinks she does nothing wrong.

That you should really get to know a person before you get into a relationship with them. "Love at first sight" doesn't last.
sometimes you fall for the person they pretend to be not the person they really are. true colors will show up eventually
Yes this is so true, thats why I never attempt to deceive and be a hypocrite. I show them my true self.
Communication is important. If two people hold their problems with the relationship in, things won't end well. There needs to be transparency not fear.
My last relationship taught me how much of a classical, leader-type of man that I am, and that I do prefer submissive women.
My most recent ex was more of a submissive personality, and I enjoyed that.
sometimes love isn't enough from the beginning it was already over. I really do think we're meant to be but it wasn't our time our dreams need to be done
It taught me that even I deserve love and acceptance and that we should extend our happiness with the world and other people.
The greatest lesson I have ever learned.

Toxic people are a waste of time. If a man doesn't want you and puts no effort, walk the fuck away. K thanks.
