Most of our blogs pertain to the female population of uOttawa, but this one is for the boys! By reading this blog you have admitted to yourself that knowledge is power, and knowing more about the female species can only help you in the future. Good for you, you’re on the road to success and might even win over that girl you’ve liked for the past six months. Or you might figure out that she’s just not that into you.
Here are some of the things that boys do that drive girls crazy… in a bad way.
Forgetting the Charm in “Prince Charming”
I know this has been said many times before but chivalry is very attractive. Make the effort to open doors for her, get out of the car and walk to her door when you pick her up. You could also pull out her chair at dinner, allow her to order first but never to pay first, offer your jacket if she’s cold, walk her to her door, you get the idea.
All Texts, No Calls
Texting has made it super easy for quick and convenient conversation. It’s okay every once in a while if you have something quick to say and if the text is of value, for example, “be there in 5!” or, “thinking of you,” but for an actual conversation, call her. I know, that’s a foreign concept but your cell phone can call people, and you can hear each other’s voices, it’s crazy. She wants to know you have the ability to hold an actual conversation to make plans or talk about how your day was.
Having Your Phone Glued to Your Hand
Oh how I loathe this one, if you’re on your phone while you’re hanging out with a girl, it’s telling her that you’re not interested… at all. Put the phone away, and give her the undivided attention that she deserves!
Friendzone
If you’re not sending out the flirtatious vibe, she’s going to be confused. You need to make it clear that you like her as more than a friend or she’ll put you in the friendzone. If you are being flirty and she’s not responding, well, she’s just not that into you.
Double Texting
If you have texted your girl and she hasn’t responded for an entire day, it’s probably not because her phone died. If she wants to text you back, she will make it happen. Sometimes people get busy, but if this is the case she will likely apologize and explain her delayed response. However, if you are texting back to back with no response (hence, double texting) she might not be into you. Take the hint and do the slow fade: she’s not really responding, you slowly stop texting.
Being a Stage 5 Clinger
If you find yourself asking her if you did something wrong because she’s not responding to your calls or texts, she’s probably not into you. Hold onto some of your dignity and exit the one-way relationship gracefully. One would hope that she would be kind enough to inform you that she is not interested, however, her actions might speak louder than her words.
Having Too Much Confidence
Sure it’s great that you’re confident, we like that you believe in yourself and your accomplishments, but you don’t need to tell us about every single one. No girl wants to date someone that thinks they’re all that and a bag of chips. Be humble, boys!
Being Too Predictable
If your conversations only cover the topics of your school schedule and when you fell asleep and woke up, you will lose her interest quickly. Ask her questions and be interested in her responses. Plan dates that involve doing activities instead of just watching a movie. Your zest for life will inspire her to do the same for you!
After you’ve read this post you’re either comforted in knowing you haven’t committed any of these dating crimes, or you’re convincing yourself that you don’t fit into any of these categories. Either way, take these tips and learn young Jedi, they’ll be sure to bring you closer to your crush.
