I have been through lots of relationships and they all didn’t work except for the one I am in now..
It’s been almost 5 years.. I can honestly say that I believe we could be friends if we ever broke up.. I think it’s because we have known each other since we were 13 years old and were friends first. I know that we couldn’t “hang out” or anything right away, but we could talk on the phone once and a while.
I guess it really depends on why you broke up. If it’s because of one cheating on the other than it will never work.
If you break up and even as soon as a month later meet up for coffee to try and start a friendship it ain’t gonna work. There will still be lovey feelings and then you are going to want to get back together and it isn’t going to work. You will end up sleeping together and wreck everything..
TRUST ME!
If you really truly want to be friends than try it slowly and don’t jump into things. More often than not, once you break up it’s over..
You have to get over the fact that you probably will never see them again.
Overall… Relationships don’t work for a reason.. It’s because both of your personalities don’t mesh well and you being friends isn’t going to be any different than when you were in that rocky relationship.
So stop crying over the fact that you guys broke up and find someone new to cuddle up next to.
Love isn’t suppose to make you upset..

There are a number of reasons why women ask this question. It might be puzzling and plain dumb to men but that fact is there is actually several reasons why. The most important tip that I can give to men is never say, “YES YOU DO LOOK FAT!”
If they do chunky in the outfit try saying.. “How about you try on that blue shirt that I love so much with that skirt.”
Reasons why women ask “Do I look FAT in this?”
- They honestly want to know if they look frumpy or fat in the outfit. If so they want to change into something else that their husband/boyfriend/friends would be attracted to.
- They want to know that you think they are pretty.
- Their self confidence is low and they want you to boost it up. For example … “Do I look fat in this?”… “Of course not honey you look fabulous.”
- They want to be reassured that they look as hot as they feel. Sometimes women ask this to test their mate to make sure they give the right answer. If they do look fat then lie, lie and lie some more.
- They have recently lost weight and want to be told they look skinny.
- They just want to mess with you. Sometimes women test men just because they can. They know men squirm at the thought of this question being asked and they want to see how they react.
- They got a new outfit and they want to know what you think in case they need to take it back.
- Women always want to look and feel their best. Sometimes they really just need a “friend” to tell them what they want to hear cause they haven’t invented a mirror that does that yet.
Women always have tricks up their sleeves. We can’t help it .. It just comes second nature to us to torment the men in our lives We never usually ask our friends if we look fat in an outfit because they would probably tell us the truth.
Men have been trained for years to always say no to this question and never pause before they automatically answer NO. It is important to have a relationship where you tell the truth but sometimes it is critical that they tell a little white lie.
I hope I helped for next time you get asked this dreaded question.
