1. You won't meet "Mr. Right" at a bar, mostly because he probably won't remember you the next day.

2. When you do find someone, it won't be anything like a movie romance.

3. When he tells you he's "not ready for a relationship ..." he's actually trying to tell you he doesn't want to date you. Take the hint.

4. If he doesn't call you back, please stop calling.

5. If he wanted you, you'd know it. There wouldn't be misread signals or unclear intentions.

6. One-night stands rarely result in relationships.

7. If you want a relationship, stop meeting guys on Tinder. Also, stop preaching about Tinder "love stories." They're one in a million.

8. Actually don't online date at all. Save the creepy dating websites for a time when you're not surrounded by hundreds of people your own age.

9. Just because he was the perfect guy for you in high school doesn't necessarily mean he will be when you're in college. People grow and change, and so do you.

10. Buying you a drink is very different from buying you dinner.

11. Accepting yourself is an important lesson in college, accepting being treated badly is not.

12. Just because you can't find a relationship doesn't mean there aren't any decent men in this world, maybe you're just looking in the wrong places.
