Don'ts

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

1. compare him to your past relationship. ( 7 guys said this! )
2. take advice from single friends.
3. talk about his mother or say what she told him isn't true.
4. harp too much on things you don't like about yourself (or him).
5. assume that because he's nice to you that he likes you (ouch!).
6. but on a facade, be yourself.
7. compare your mother's cooking to his mother's.
8. make fun of his dance moves, that is a low blow to a guy and it takes courage for him to get out there.
9. say give me the remote when the ball game or Sports Center is on (but isn't Sports Center always on?).
10. criticize/joke about your families until you've shared enough stories that it becomes "a thing" between you.
11. make fun of his shoes, car, or dog.
12. question his relationships with his friends or family until you are in a relationship.
13. 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).
