Honesty, The Only Medicine Options

[fameONE]

Looking back on all of my previous relationships, and dating experiences, one thing remains the same; you must be honest.

And by honesty, I'm referring to a lot more than just speaking your mind, or saying what's on your heart, but from the getgo, it is important to be straightforward about your intentions.

So you don't want a relationship? Ok, thats fine. Don't front like you do.

If you can honestly tell someone that all you want is to "_____," then be sure that you're clear about it.

Why get involved with someone, tell them you want a relationship or something deeper than simply a friendship, then why mislead them into believing otherwise?

Though being honest with your significant other is important, what's more important is being honest with yourself. If you got used, you probably saw it coming, or the clues were right in front of your face and you ignored them.

If you're feeling remorse for using someone else, and you claim it was unintentional, then more than likely, you're solely responsible for their heartache and emotional anguish.

Be honest.

This is very true. I try my best to be honest but sometimes I honestly don't know what I want out of a relationship as soon as I get in one. I do let them know that, though.

Most of my breakups have been because of lies.

[love-issosweet]

you're right. i usually am honest with myself. yup, i really think honesty really builds up a healthy relationship

wow...that is so effing true its not even funny. i try to be honest..but sometimes i find it hard to break up with someone because i don't want to be in a relationship...but i think i've learned my lesson..i'm just not going to get in the relationship in the first place.. urks...being honest has really helped out a lot actually...now, i tell guys straight up i'm not looking forward to any kind of relationship

honesty hasn't worked in my favor. i don't like lying or lies. so i told my ex everything he wanted to know when we were still together and he threw it all back in my face. not only did him reminding me of those things hurt, but the fact that he used my honesty against me.

i was quite experienced for the age i was when we started dating. i wanted to be upfront and actually, he knew about it before we started dating, when we were close friends. but when i looked at myself i didn't like who i was and i didn't want to be that girl anymore. but he would always be "you did that with so and so" or "i'm your boyfriend and so and so wasn't but you still did that with him."

i do not believe that i was used, however i should have foreseen this. he was very controlling and possesive.

in many other cases, i agree with you on the being honest with yourself thing. some people are just so obsessed with finding and being with "the one" that they let so many things go just so they can carry on the facade of a storybook romance.

you must first trust...in those you are honest to...otherwise just like in chii's case they will throw it right back in your face and use it against you...

Whenever I lie about things to seem "better," such as when my friend thinks she's ugly/fat/whatever, I'd tell them that they aren't.

But of course, honesty IS very important. *cough*1'S!*cough*

[Mr. Slowjamz]

honestly is not only important during relationships. but i`m starting to realize that honesty is important to your life as a whole . wether you start applying for jobs through the market or wether your trying to connect to a specific social network . how can people relize your true potential and personality . heighten up your standards by being honest about it . . .

being open ... yeah it's great what you can achieve from it.
