“Possessive men come across to low self-esteem girls as they love them. First make sure your daughter is feeling good and has it some what together as far as self awareness. “

“Make sure he’s never been to prison. If you’re really serious about him and have been dating him for a while, prior to moving in, do a background check on him. Make sure he’s secure with his finances and doesn’t change jobs too often.”

“Choose a mate who shares your values. Go for one who has lived on his own and has proven that he is responsible for himself and has long-term goals. Also, look at the company he keeps, what he does in an average day, week or month. What is the first thing that comes out of his mouth when he is upset?”

“You wanna live together? put a ring on it!”

“First, have a relationship with God, and then find a man who also has a relationship with Him also. That doesn’t mean your lives will be free from ups and downs but you will be blessed, and you will look at the world differently. A woman will be a follower of a man who is a follower of God. That’s the right kind of love triangle right there.”

“Lead by example. I treat my daughter like a young lady. I open doors & pull out chairs for her, I encourage her ideas & creativity, I show her my financial planning timeline for vacations, college funds, and other large purchases. I execute our plans, I keep promises, I love and respect her mother, forever. We have an open line of communication, I respect her opinions, protect her from harm, cook with her, attend every softball practice, boxing training, and dance recital. No question goes unanswered, or unresolved. I make it clear that she will accept nothing less from any young man that she decides to spend time with, and that they should compliment and enhance one another’s abilities. I tell her to believe in love, accept it, reciprocate it, because she deserves it…..”

“Find his male friends and ask them if they’d let him date their sister. If not, then that’s a bad sign.”

“If asks how much money she has or wants to borrow money or cars, wont take to meet parents or doesnt want to meet hers, between jobs a long time, no education or business plans for the future, still at momma’s house, seeks time away to spend with friends to me all say let that fish float away.”
