Girls, the chaps chimed in to give us advice on things a girl should not say to a guy that she likes. Admittedly, I did not collect this advice in a scientific manner. I just sent out a mass text message. However, the advice is practical and they are the guys. So, I think it would be wise if we listened. Tomorrow, we get to hear the things that we should do!
DO NOT
-
compare him to your past relationship. ( 7 guys said this! )
-
take advice from single friends.
-
talk about his mother or say what she told him isn’t true.
-
harp too much on things you don’t like about yourself (or him).
-
assume that because he’s nice to you that he likes you (ouch!).
-
but on a facade, be yourself.
-
compare your mother’s cooking to his mother’s.
-
make fun of his dance moves or singing, that is a low blow to a guy and it takes courage for him to get out there.
-
say give me the remote when the ball game or Sports Center is on (but isn’t Sports Center always on?).
-
criticize/joke about your families until you’ve shared enough stories that it becomes “a thing” between you.
-
make fun of his shoes, car, or dog.
-
question his relationships with his friends or family until you are in a relationship.
-
overstate how interested you are in something to build relationship (i.e. I love that! I’m really interested in talking about that soon! That is so great! Thank you for doing that!). If you really like something, a little extra enthusiasm is nice. But pretending that you are interested in something that you are not is almost a form of leading someone on. Because if they care, they’ll change their behavior to adjust (well said).
