Why You So Thirsty?

A man can smell desperation a mile away.

Drink More Water - Water hydrates your skin and helps flush out toxins, which means your skin will look healthier and plumper (in a good way) to fill out those dimples. Also opt for eating foods that have water in them such as watermelon, blueberries and cucumbers.  (Photo: Tim Tadder/Corbis)

The Thirst Is Real - Are you that girl that calls a guy 10 times before he ever calls you? Is your main priority when you go out to find a man? Do you ditch your girls the second you get a boyfriend?

Believe Who He Is When He Shows You - Not getting what you want can trigger the thirstiness in any of us. But when a man shows you who he is and what he wants, believe him. If he says that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship, it doesn’t matter how good the sex is with you or how well you cook or how many times you text him, that isn’t going to change.

Not Every Guy Is “The One” - A man can smell desperation a mile away. So stop being so extra on dates, especially the first one. No, he does not need to know how many children you want to have and how much you really want to get married. He doesn’t even know your middle name. Allow yourself to get to know him first. You might find out you don’t even like him.  (Photo: Dave & Les Jacobs/Blend Images/Corbis)

You'd Better Not Text Him Again - Don’t you hate it when he texts you all the time and then he stops all of a sudden? Us too. When this happens, instead of falling back, we start blowing up his phone to get that line of communication back. You need to cut it out and let him come to you. And if he doesn’t, please be on your merry way.  (Photo: Hero Images/Corbis)

Stop Stalking Him on Social Media - Social media has done wonders for relationships — and not in a good way. If you have something to say, just say it already and move on. Stop marking your territory because being messy online only makes you look silly. Plus, you might get blocked. Bloop! (Photo: JGI/Jamie Grill/Blend Images/Corbis)

If You Think You’re Doing the Most, You Probably Are - We all know when we're being extra. So if you have to ask yourself if you are doing the most, girl, most likely you are. Take a step back and reevaluate things, because real love may not be easy, but it is reciprocal. (Photo: Hero Images/Corbis)

Don't Hide Your True Self - Sometimes we are so afraid that if we share our opinions or feelings on certain issues, we will be unfairly labeled as the “Angry Black Woman.” So we shrink ourselves to be agreeable and fit in. But if you are doing this, he’s only liking your representative, not the real you. (Photo: Christopher Weidlich/Corbis)

Find a Life Outside of Him - Remember, healthy relationships are not co-dependent ones. Don’t let your entire life be about one guy. No man can meet all your needs and it's not fair to expect him to. (Photo: Peathegee Inc/Blend Images/Corbis)

Stop Buying His Love - Reciprocating what he does for you is fine. But are you his partner or his Sugar Mama? Think about that the next time you splurge on him. Trying to buy his love may keep him around, but it won’t make him commit. (Photo: 735/Paul Bradbury/Ocean/Corbis)

You Are Not His Mama, Maid or Personal Assistant - Yeah, your new boo may be great and you are happy to have him, but don’t be a door mat. You can do nice things for him, but learn to create boundaries about what you will and will not do. (Photo: Getty Images)

Why Is Having a Man So Important? - Ask yourself why you are so thirsty in the first place. Yeah, having a partner can be an amazing thing and, yes, maybe your biological clock is ticking or perhaps you’re in need of some male attention or anxious to end your months-long dating drought. Whatever the case, be honest with yourself and your relationship. (Photo: ABM/Corbis)
