When To Say Never

“If that boy don’t love you by now,
He will never ever
never ever love you”

My thoughts exactly Ciara.

I don’t know if any one else can relate to this song, and more importantly being in this predicament. Being with a man whose professed love for you is not the least bit convincing. A woman’s intuition is a powerful thing and even though a man can claim to love you, that nagging feeling that he really doesn’t seems to drown out his claims. And there have certainly been times in my life, that if I had to choose a song to be the theme of my relationship, this would definitely be it.

Of course it makes me think what exactly is meant by “if that boy don’t love you by now”. And I guess each woman would have to fill in that blank for herself.

If that boy don’t love you after:

  • You paid his cell phone bill
  • Paid for his hair cuts
  • You looked out for him
  • You wined and dined him
  • Took care of him
  • You treated him like a king
  • You tried to be the most supportive person to him
  • After you slept with him
  • You had his child

Then the truth of the matter is he will never ever love you. And although we’ve heard all our lives never say never, there comes a time when men cross certain lines in love and a “never” statement is in order. But I guess that’s what separates the men from the boys. Everybody knows that it’s only if you treat the GOOD MEN like kings, will they treat you like queens. When you treat boys like kings, because they are too immature to handle, recognize and appreciate the treatment, they misinterpret it as an entitlement instead of the privilege that it is and as a result, they will never ever love you.
