Ten Rules For My Dating Daughter

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

A friend of mine who is a single mom and I were chatting last night about the Palin family pregnancy situation.   She shared with me the ten life lessons she wanted her daughter to know.  She gave them to her daughter at 16.   She is now a senior in college.  I asked if I could reprint them.  She said yes…

1. Have sex only because you want to, never assume a man will love you because you have given him the one and only sacred special part of you.
2. Never get pregnant trying to trap a man into marriage and most definitely don’t get pregnant by anyone you will assume will be a professional athlete.  He may not make it to the pros and then are you are stuck with a baby you don’t want and tied to someone who can’t or won’t pay child support and a man you hate.
3. Never assume you will get married to some prince charming who will help you pay your bills first; it might not happen and it could turn into desperation.
4. Always prepare for tomorrow and manage your money because most people do not have good money management skills.  When you are tied down to the wrong person, they will pull you down.
5. Remember, you are beautiful and will attract men.  Choose wisely.  Remember, there is more than one penis in this world so don’t assume you are in love because someone makes you have an orgasm.
6. Have control in your own life and before you submit to anyone, make sure they are strong, can handle business and have control of their own life.
7. Always watch a person’s body language.  Their mouth might say I love you, but look at how they treat you; observe their actions and movements.  People tend to tell on themselves because they are not conscience of their body language.
8. Don’t have children because you want them to take care of you when you are old, have them because of joy and love.
9. Protect your credit because even if you aren’t rich, excellent credit can help you get anything you want.
10. And remember, I will always love you and be there to guide you through any situation.

While there are no guarantees in this world that your daughter won’t get pregnant, I think these guidelines can go a long way to helping avoid that situation.
