How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Can you not keep a guy for ten days? Do they keep ghosting you? Do you have a problem hanging onto a relationship? There are some things that us girls do in relationships that drive men away. Guys hate when we are clingy, needy, touchy-feely, use baby talk, and call him in the middle of night telling them what we ate that day. Just the normal stuff, you know. Here is a guide of all the things not to do.Â
When you’re at a Knicks game, donât ask a minute before the end of the game for him to get you a soda and then tell him he got the wrong one, because he really wonât take that very well. Also, when you leave donât mention that he never got to see the winning goal because he was getting you a drink.
At the beginning of a relationship, maybe at date three, you can easily start to become clingy which men despise. Whatever you do, do not ring them at random times of the day saying you miss them or talk during a movie to ask what they are thinking in that exact moment. Especially, do not then accuse him of thinking about another girl when you have only known him for three days. When you’re in the cinema donât pick a fight with someone and then make your âboyfriendâ go fight them because he will get punched and walk away with a black eye.Â
If you make it to day four and get invited over for dinner, learn not to bring some stuff from your house over to half move in. He will get scared and run away, don’t be too forward too quick. If you make it this far definitely do not sing âYou’re So Vainâ by Carly Simon at him. As much as the song is iconic, adding his name to the song may not go down all too well. Also, don’t tell him that you are vegetarian before he cooks a whole leg of lamb so he doesn’t have to be dragged to a restaurant and not be able to watch the basketball game that he is desperate to see.Â
After five days, don’t show up unexpectedly at his work after buying a dog for you and him to co-parent. It will go down even worse if you start referring to you as a âhappy little familyâ after not knowing him for too long. He will get even more annoyed if you let the dog go to the toilet on his pool table.Â
When your potential partner is busy at work, donât get clingy, just leave them alone. Leaving seventeen messages on their answering machine wonât get them to answer you any quicker. It is even worse if every message left was a minute apart. Additionally, if you do not hear from them for a while do not take that as an invitation to show up at their house, they may find it a bit creepy. If you do show up to their house and you’re let in, don’t show them a photoshopped picture of what your children would look like. Hide them so he wonât know. If you have been together for less than a week don’t go behind his back and become friends with his mum so you can ask for baby pictures for your family album. It would be a bit awkward when you eventually meet her and it becomes clear that you ring her all the time.Â
The guy you’re seeing may start to think that you are needy if you show up to his boys’ night. Getting a key to his house without him knowing and making his friends eat cucumber sandwiches may not give them the best first impression of you. Do not give a man a fern because most of the time they will not be able to keep it alive and you will get upset if your âlove fernâ dies. Also, some nicknames to avoid include: sweet pea, Princess Sophia, Benny-Wenny, Benny Bear, Benny-kins, Binky- Winky, Stuffy Head, Mr Sniffles.
If you made it all the way through this you probably have met the one. However, a lesson we all need to know is not to get in the way of men and their sport.
