So many women have poor emotional control. Don’t deny it! We’ve all been there at some point in our lives. The second date is over and you’re already fantasizing about your future with him. You’ve only been “official” for a handful of months and you’re already in love.

Ladies, all this emotional garbage? It needs to stop.

You have no 👏🏼 place 👏🏼 getting emotionally attached or falling in love with a man who has not made it CRYSTAL CLEAR that he wants to invest in you for the long haul.

Whether that means marriage, or something else, that is up to you. But if it’s marriage you’re seeking? Unless he has presented you with the ring, you had better keep those feelings in check.

“But I can’t control falling in love!” You can. It takes mental effort. It takes you being logical, rational, and saying, “These are just feelings. They don’t mean anything. Let me think logically about this.”

It takes you stopping yourself from setting yourself up for disaster. That means not building him up to be something he’s not and fantasizing about him. That means maintaining some emotional privacy, instead of divulging all your childhood or relationship trauma in the first couple months and feeling reliant on him as a result.

Our emotional capacity as women is a beautiful thing. It is not, however, to be wasted or utilized on men for whom you are a temporary fixture or placeholder.
