Men like to believe that only women suffer from neurotic, insecure and irrational relationship behavior. But it’s just not true. Just because you label yourself as “super cool” (which really means you don’t do your laundry often enough and you leave the toilet seat up), that doesn’t mean you’re not making your share of love bloopers.
As your date, girlfriend or opposite sex friend, we’ve watched you wade your way through all of them. So for the benefit of all men out there this is what you’re doing wrong. So stop it;
1. Paying more attention to the TV than your serious conversation
Things like the tv, video games, texting, playing online games etc take your attention away from the conversation at hand, and that’s never a good idea. Your lady friend is going to think you’re the bees knees if you give her your undivided attention. So find the off switch and use it.
2. Lying to yourself/others about your relationship status
Just like most girls have this tendency to prematurely employ the “boyfriend” word, lots of men avoid it like the plague of singlehood. And it’s okay to know what kind of relationship you want and if that’s not a monogamous one, then right on, brother; but be real about it.
If you’re having sleepovers, introduced her to your friends and you’ve met hers and you’re not doing this with anyone else, you have a girlfriend. That’s just the way it is. If you don’t like that, do something about it.
3. Inquiring about the purpose of flowers
Is futile. We love them and even more important we love that you bought them for us. It may seem illogical to spend money on something that won’t make it to next week, but neither does chocolate. Besides, there’s just no point in applying logic and reason to life’s emotional pleasure.
You should be less concerned with figuring out the why, and focus more on the how. How does it make her feel? Terrific! How does it make you look? Awesome! Are you getting the picture?
4. Double standards
I’ve got to say, men are worse about this than women. I’m not one for making gross over-generalizations, but this is truth. You don’t want your girl so much as looking at another dude when you’re out but if she shows the slightest sign of jealousy over your all out flirt-fest with a hot bartenders, you rant about how it didn’t mean anything and you still need to be allowed to have a conversation and blah blah blah. We know. We get it. But if you want, you’ve got to give. That’s all we’re saying.
