[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think “mean” is the right word but I think every woman should say “no” to a few small things early in the relationship without justifying or apologizing.  So along the lines of “No, let’s meet at 7, not 9.”  “No, I don’t want to meet for a drink; let’s do coffee.”

The problem is that a lot of women are super accommodating up front and then they get 6 months into a relationship before they realize that the guy they are with doesn’t like them enough to do any of the work.  [b]A little pushback early in the relationship is a great way to weed out people who can’t handle you having or expressing needs.[/b]  [/quote]

Definitely do at least a bit of this. A surprising number of men can't handle any kind of rejection, however mild, without dropping their masks and revealing the monster. This weeds out the most controlling types who expect you to "submit" in all things.

No loss. They're terrible leaders and usually selfish, stunted jerks. Just make sure you're in a safe place so that if/when he tantrums, you're okay. [/quote]
