Ever been hanging with a guy and he wants to cuddle on the couch and turn on the tv? How do you know if he wants to chill and watch Netflix or if he wants to Netflix and chil? Well, here’s our comprehensive list of six easy tells to watch for!
1. He sent me a text “Netflix and Chill”, is that guy code for him wanting to hang out with me?
No it is not a sign that he just wants to hang out with you, watch Netflix and chill with you. He most likely wants to hook up with you. Most guys are straightforward. Lately, guys use this phrase as code for “come and hangout with me so we can make out.” What happened to the guys who just want to cuddle and get to know us as a person? Here’s a word of advice (and this will probably get you brownie points with your crush or girlfriend): take it slow, be respectful, and at least get to know the person before you hook up with them
2. He invites you to his place or comes over to your place to hang out late at night, sound suspicious…?
My roommate last semester had this guy she met off Tinder and went on a date with, then invited him over to our place. He texted her “Netflix and Chill” and she responded with “sure”, her innocently thinking they were just going to talk and watch something on Netflix. Halfway through watching whatever show they were watching on Netflix, he tried to have a full on makeout sesh while they were on her bed watching a show. Here’s my second word of advice: Don’t sit on your bed watching Netflix with a guy you just met, alone in your room You should watch Netflix out in a common area or somewhere public, so a guy cannot ambush you like that in the privacy of your room. Okay guys, SLOW DOWN THERE, you are not a race car driver in the NASCAR Indy 500!
3. He doesn’t even ask if you want something to drink or eat while you are supposedly going to be watching Netflix and chilling with one another… *no pun intended here
Sorry, we girls like our food, drinks and CHOCOLATE. Because chocolate can make any good or bad situation better than it was before. So, if you do not care to provide me with something to eat or drink while watching a movie, then you obviously do not care about whether I am fine or not?! Well GUYS, here is a word of advice, offer her snacks and drinks even if she said she had something to eat before she came over. Just keep your refrigerator and cabinets packed with snacks, goodies, candy, drinks and water, you are pretty much good to go.
4. He could care less about what you watch (no, I do not want to watch a chick flick! How about some gruesome action film?), but obviously he cares to possibly get some action.
Action, can I get some of that? Or not…probably not that kind of action. Guys, we are women, not abnormal creatures of the different sex. Everyone wants someone to genuinely care about them, so actually act like you are interested in what movie she wants to watch. Maybe next time, you can watch one of your violent action shows or movies available on Netflix. Don’t be the distraction, but capture her attention through having a nice conversation with her about what you are watching. Here’s another word of advice: Care about what she has to say and maybe you will end up being the fraction to her fraction of love, did I SUM that one all up for you GUYS?!
5. He’s dressed way too casually and doesn’t really care if you come over dressed up or not. (What happened to the days boys and girls would get all dolled and dressed up for a date?, thanks to “Netflix and Chill” generation, that won’t be happening anytime soon. )
If you really cared about this person, then you would get all dressed up and make yourself presentable (not looking like you just threw on clothes as you got out of bed, which we all have been guilty of doing at one point or many instances in our lives. What happened to guys opening the passenger car door for you, bringing flowers to give you when he picks you up from your place, and the guy who comes to the door instead of texting you that he’s outside your house. Well, these courtesies still exist, but very few guys actually still do those genuine effortless gestures when dating a woman. I do not like to blame our generation of daters, the “Netflix and Chill” generation, but I hope we can keep these nice sweet acts from going in the years to come. Halfway to ten, so here’s a word of advice: Being old fashioned is cool, it never goes out of style, and maybe she will end up staying for a while or not (Depending partially on you GUYS, and whoever this lovely lady may end up being in your life)
6. He wants to watch Netflix and Chill on something comfy like a bed or couch. Well, sorry ladies but “Netflix and Chill” is simply a guy’s way of saying “want to hook up?” (It is like the Daya song, “Hideaway”, where the lyrics are like:
Sorry boys and girls, this is the truth. Lately, I have playing the song “Hideaway” by Daya because it makes me think about “Where do all the good boys go to Hideaway?” Seriously though, where do they go? I feel our society is status driven, meaning look at the photo I just posted or shared on my Instagram and Facebook. Well, some of you are probably thinking to yourself, well our society has always been status based. Let me tell that you are right, but nowadays with social media and technology, everything is so instantaneous. With us being able to get pretty much anything or anyone instantly it leads to us being content one moment with someone or something, then moving on to the next new and better thing. People no longer date, but rather see how many people they can get with or who they can get with.
Here’s six sly words of advice, guys and girls: Be True, Be Lovely, Be You!
