Dating Advice: Turn that Finger Around and Point it Back at Yourself

Why is it so Hard to Take our Own Dating Advice?The other day, I was offering dating advice to my friend about the guy she is dating. She comes from a prosperous family and she is very well-off. She is in school seeking a Bachelor’s degree and well, her family has high standards…. yet this guy has led her to fall off track and lose
 sight of any self-respect she has.Lacey* is a 20 year old, full-time student at a local University. She has always been the kind of girl that would text me every day telling me about a new crush she had, then later she would gush to me about how things went wrong. Hours later, she’d have found a new interest. Well, now she has been dating Jack* for almost a month or so. They met through me because Jack* is a co-worker of mine and well…let’s just say I never thought anything would come of their meeting. So this guy…. he’s a 29-year-old divorcee who has no financial responsibilities, lives with his family, and basically lives to smoke cigarettes and smoke pot : no real ambitions. And I happen to know for a fact, that he is just along for the ride. He doesn’t really care about her, he is just dating her for shits and giggles (aka. because she has money and is crazy about him)… but if something else comes along, he won’t think twice before sending her on her way…And it’s so easy to find the flaws in her relationship…in her choice of guy…. yet, it’s always so hard for me to have the same open eyes in my life.Most women are like that. Why is it so easy for us to point out the flaws in our friend’s lives… but we can’t seem the wrong in our own?
