Relationships are not easy and the more you try to make things work in the wrong ways the further behind you will fall. If you want to find success in love, you have to make sure that you are cultivating the right kind of atmosphere within your relationship.

As cliche, as it might sound turning to relationship experts when you’re struggling, is a great idea. I came across one expert in particular recently and have even been applying his words to my current situation. His online persona is the ‘Fairy Godfather’ and he is exactly that down to a tee.

His Instagram has over 30 thousand followers and lots of testimonials listed. This man has changed the lives of many and really helped far more get out of toxic situations than most could ever imagine. According to The Mirror, he began his mission back in 2011 and from there he has only continued to grow.

The Fairy Godfather told The Mirror as follows in regards to his work helping women across the globe:

“I want to achieve a better environment for women to date in.”

“When Tinder exploded in 2012 everyone became easily expendable, mirroring the throwaway society we live in.”

“Men could speak to multiple women at once at the touch of a button and so to beat the competition, women started giving what hadn’t been earned, thinking it would keep the man.”

“Men realized if they lied or manipulated women they could get sex very easily.”

“I’m giving advice that can turn back the clocks to a pre tinder state of dating and that will only be done by women taking the lead and following these simple steps that may go against their natural urges, it about being mindful and thinking logically.”

If you take a look at his Instagram account where he makes all of his posts you will see tons of different inspirational quotes as well as lists of things you should and should not deal with or ways to become a happier person. He has a post for just about everything and each one will speak to you in ways those of others do not.

One of his posts that stands out above the rest to me is titled ’30 things you should never do when dating…’ This post is simple and to the point. It goes over a lot of things we as women tend to do within our relationships/dating lives and these things are without a doubt sending us down a path that allows us to be used. By not doing these things and not allowing them, in general, we can work towards finding someone worth our time and being in a proper functioning successful relationship.
