We have all had that moment when we are talking to someone (usually a boyfriend/ex-boyfriend and they say something and you’re thinking “SERIOUSLY, I’M GOING TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE NOW!” Well, if you just happen to be one of those people, here is some advice on what NOT to say to a girl.

1.  “You’re so dramatic, Calm down, Relax, etc” 

Never EVER under any circumstance tell a girl that she is being dramatic. She may be overreacting, but I PROMISE if you say that, she will start being even more “dramatic”. 

2. “Are you sick?” 

If a girl is wearing sweatpants and a messy bun on top of her head that does NOT automatically mean that she is sick. Maybe she just stayed up late studying or watching her favorite Netflix show.

3. “Are you PMSing?”

 Just because a girl seems a bit moody or on edge, does NOT mean it is her time of the month. 

4. “Oh, you’re wearing that?” 

Yes, yes she is and you better like it.

 

5. “Dude, bro, man, etc.” 

No, she is not your “bro”. When you say this, it automatically puts you in the friend-zone. 

6. “You look fine.” 

She doesn’t want to look just “fine.”  She just spent an hour doing her makeup, hair and picking out an outfit; fine does not justify how she looks. 

7. “It’s not a big deal.”

 If she is crying or showing emotion about something, it is obviously a big deal to her.

 

8. “Can we change the channel?” 

LOL, good luck.

9. “Can you hook me up with your friend?” 

What, am I not good enough. 

10. While you guys are texting and you send her, “K.” 

At least end the “K” with a pet name.
