In any woman's lifetime, she will have countless relationships and countless break-ups along the way. There's only one person out there for everyone, and it's like digging for dinosaurs to find that special one for you. Everyone has their break-ups: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here are some red flag break-ups to look for and what to take away from them. Go ahead, laugh it off. (It's easier to do when you find the right one in the end).
1. The First One.
Alright, everyone has their first boyfriend/girlfriend. Better yet, everyone has what they consider their "first love", and in most cases, this isn't always their first relationship. This can be your third or fourth boyfriend, but the one that finally means something more to you than frozen yogurt. In most cases, this isn't the one, and, eventually, you two will part ways to venture new realms of the dating world.
2. The One that still texts you.
Yeah, everyone has this one. The "Oh, I'm just texting to catch up." No, there is no catching up with exes. Get out of here.
3. The One that you left hanging.
This is the boyfriend to whom you gave no explanation for your actions. You could have ended it on good terms or bad, but they will never really know because you just ghosted them. It's like ghost busters, but not as entertaining.
4. The One that everyone cheered when you finally let go.
I'm talking the lowest of the low. This is the guy that ruined your life, and your friends tried to change your mind, but you're too "in love" to see the difference. Yeah, I bet you feel stupid now. It's okay to be upset, but you have to forgive yourself to move on.
5. The One that actually broke up with you.
You find yourself being the total heart breaker 100 percent of the time? Not this time my friend, this break-up blindsided you like a train. But that's okay, you liked pizza better than him anyway, and the guy you were eyeing up in physics. Bon appetite.
6. The One you can't date.
I'm talking about one of the biggest heart-breakers. The one that can never be. The one you can't stop thinking about, and even though the chemistry is there, something is always coming between you two. Whether it's the wrong time, another person, or hard feelings, you and your beloved can never be, like a twisted Romeo and Juliet.
7. The One you dated for the second time.
This is every sensible woman's cardinal dating rule: DO NOT RECYCLE. But, you're going to do it anyway. You should have just listened to your mother. Congrats, and move on for good.
8. The One you don't talk about ever again.
Enough said.
9. The One that you friend-zoned.
With all best intentions, some men are meant to remain in the friend zone eternally.
10. The One that stuck.
This is the one. You've wandered through the valley of the shadow of bad relationships and made it out on the other side with Prince Charming. He's all yours and this is it, you're filling your wedding book with ideas and magazine clippings just like a 2016 Monica Geller.
In life, and college especially, there are different relationships that you can power through. These relationships all teach you something, and it's important to recognize the wrong and learn from them. Taking away something positive out of a bad situation gives a woman character. These experiences shape who you are and show you what you want out of relationships, and it's important to evaluate everyone you've ever been in, good or bad.
