15条单身女人的爱情准则

4. Heed Your Grandparents
"My grandfather had some gems: 'Don't be with a stupid man just to be with any man.' 'A real man always takes care of his family.'

You can be anything you want, but don't be a fool.'" —Michelle Porter, 28, Charlotte, N.C.

5. The Necessity of Laughter
"Don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh." —Maya Angelou

7. Love Yourself
"To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance." —Oscar Wilde

8. Kindness Counts
"You can tell a lot about a guy by how he treats your cab driver." —Alanna Sobel, 25, Washington, D.C.

9. No Games
"If he likes you, you'll know. If he doesn't, you'll be 'confused.'" —sayitloud, on glamour.com

 
10. Believe In Your Worth
"Respect yourself. I said to my ex, 'I'm not going to make you my everything if I'm only your something.'" —Alyssa Stabile, 19, Boston

11. Try a Nice Guy
"I used to be into bad boys but kept getting burned. Then I heard this: 'Say no to the guys you usually say yes to, and yes to the ones you normally say no to.' I did, and it totally worked. I have a great husband now." —Laura Knudsen, 27, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

12. Avoid Loners

14. Hygiene Is Non-Negotiable
"Personal hygiene is part of the package." —Jim Carrey

15. Be Yourself
"It's OK to show up at a guy's house with a dozen roses and declare your undying affection. It's OK to have too much to drink and call your ex 20 times and then to be mortally embarrassed when you realize your number must have shown up on his caller ID. It's OK, because making a fool of yourself for love is ultimately about you, how much you have to give and the distances you will travel to keep your heart wide open when everything around you makes you feel like slamming it shut and soldering it closed." —Veronica Chambers, Glamour's features director and author of The Joy of Doing Things Badly
