I know that in every relationship, the issue of respect blows across the waters of bliss. Sometimes men are aggressive and seriously controlling, not to mention dominating. It's a bit to much........hell it's stressing. So how do you speak up, and get results without blowing a fuse?

Know what you want and express how you feel on the first couple of dates, if he is listening and is a mature man he will take what you have to say seriously. If he is immature and needs to test you to see if what you say, you mean, then that is the time to act a fool, but without going too far, and let him know that you mean business and will not tolerate no nonsense!

I believe that you need to expect this to happen when you are around those people that you either want to date, or are just friends with.
How you let people treat you before you date is also how they will tend to treat you once you are in a relationship with them and it is harder to change later on rather then putting it out there that you know how you need and want to be treated and if that is not going to happen than you are not interrested in dating that person.
Remember Later Men and women are set in their ways and will be used to acting and doing certain things in a relationship.
good luck
And remember don't settle for less, expect the best.

With some men you just have to be straight-up with them, from the start. Then there are those sneaky son of a b**ches! Whom play off as the "nice guys", then you like smile alil too much, and boom they think you want them, and honesty on how you don't want them to take you home isn't working, those you MUST be straight-out right rude!

You've gotta put your foot down from the begininning, girl. If you let it even begin, it will never change! Once you let a guy be controlling once, he'll do it forever. Anytime he tries, you've gotta be like, "look, you're my boyfriend, and i love you, but you will NOT under any circumstances control me or tell me what i can and can't do." if he doesn't like it, he can hit the road. simple as that!

Right at the first start of dating.Communication is very important and it needs to be serious on both parts. Show what you mean and not just putting it into words.

best thing.... let them know from the beginning what you will and will not tolerate in a relationship. If they insist on testing, kick em to the curb. Same goes for you, they should let you know from the beginning what they expect.

When he starts to do that, stop him before he goes any further and tell him that what he's doing is not ok. If he doesn't like that, he can go. Don't let it slide or before you can turn around, he will have gone too far.

I like my girls to not take any of my crap. My girlfriend doesn't and I find a strong women attractive - the fact that she won't put up with my rubbish puts me in line.

actions speak louder than words. draw a line a stick to it, don't cave in if he crosses it. show him that you respect yourself and won't make excuses for him because you are needy
