You are the type of girl who has standards built the height of the Empire State Building, you have a type, and will never settle for anything less, but there's only one flaw, you fall for the crappy guys regardless of your standards anyway.

They're handsome and exactly the type of guy you would like to have on your arm. At first glance, he checks off all the boxes. He's the type of guy you're immediately attracted to but you do not really know his intentions.

Maybe this one will turn out to be different.

All your friends warn you "He's not a good guy" "He screwed over X amount of girls" "Have you heard the things he says" "His intentions are not very good" "Trust me you do not want to get involved with him" are a few of the things that your friends tell you. But you cannot help but still being curious and figuring out these things for yourself.

Thinking you can put your feelings aside, you decide to put aside everything that your friends and everyone else have warned you about and pursue something with the guy anyways.

You go in with the intention of only getting to know who he really is thinking he may turn out to be a good guy deep down… way deep. You never actually have the intentions of falling for him.

But next thing you know you are head over heels for this guy. He's opened up to you and seems to actually be a kind and sensitive guy. But at the end of the day, he's still that douche bag everyone has been talking about because he breaks your heart in the worst way possible.

Is any of this sounding familiar, then you are like me and are the girl who does not listen to her friends and goes after the douche anyways.

You think after the first one breaks your heart in a million pieces you have learned your lesson, but in reality, you probably haven't.

Let me tell you a few things before you get your heart broken by yet again another douche.

1. Listen to your friends a little more. At least take what they are saying into consideration.

2. Keep your guard up. Do not give this guy your heart and give him the potential to break it.

3.If you get to know him and he seems like a good guy, reflect on the reasons why your friends might have said those things about him.

4. Do not ignore red flags. When you really like someone, it is easy to look past the red flags, but they might actually become a problem later down the road. Address them when you see them and reflect on whether or not they are deal breakers.

Just promise me you will not get your heart broken. You do not deserve to go through that again. The pain of getting your heart broken can be debilitating. You deserve the utmost of happiness, you deserve prince charming, a man who makes you feel like a queen. Hold your head up high and do not settle for anything less. Your friends love you and care about you, start to listen to them about the guys they think are right for you and which ones are not so good, because they only want you to be happy.
