| So I was sitting in English on Friday morning trying to figure out what I was going to put in this article. My eccentric teacher was ranting on and on about the Miller's Tale in Canterbury Tales, a rather perverted selection, so I figured I had time to brainstorm ideas for this piece. I made a list in between notes on Beowulf and Sophocles, but after a few minutes of generating crap, I decided to take a very honest approach. Guys, there's no telling what can make a girl mad. I know that I confuse myself when it comes to things like that. I get mad over the littlest things that guys do, even if they're perfectly fine. So all I can really say is to be on your guard when it comes to girls. We're pretty unpredictable. Our moods change day to day, and so does pretty much everything else. Despite all this variability, I can give you some guidelines to help you along and improve your chances of keeping your gal happy.* So here they are: *THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND* * Be straight with this girl. 99% of the time, girls are in relationships because they like you as a person. Not because they want to "get it on" and have some wild fun. They actually like you. If you're in it for something else, let her know. At this point, (if you're getting near your 20's) girls have had enough of "the game" and want real relationships. If you lack the energy, motivation, or whatever else to get into one, leave this girl alone and go find one who will be up to doing whatever it is you want to do. * Stand up for yourself. I know that I get caught up in rumors about people, and one can't help but consider all the "myths" concerning guys. We girls think quite a few things about guys that probably aren't true (that's a future article). If any of these rumors or "myths" pop up in your relationship that irk your girl, and they aren't true, stand up for yourself! If this girl really likes you, then she'll drop them right away. Just don't lie. * OW!! I'm all for physical flirting: punching, running into, poking...whatever you want, but there is a point that many guys reach where these things cease to be effective. Instead, they HURT, and girls get the wrong signals. So, be gentle. Oh, and don't flick us on the forehead...that does not say "I LIKE YOU" even if that's your intent. Instead, it says "I WANT TO GIVE YOU TREMENDOUS PAIN." Well, maybe not tremendous, but it does hurt. * Live for the moment. There have been many times where guys have the opportunity to do or say things, and they chicken out (same for girls). However, in old-fashioned society, guys were the initiators, so I'll just go along with that. Let's use a popular past-time as an example: kissing. If there is an perfect opportunity to kiss and you both know it, but you refrain from going in for the kill, this may disgruntle your girl. One: she may think you don't like her enough to kiss her...and Two: she'll lose confidence in your relationship. After a couple of missed opportunities, this girl may lose interest in you and quit the whole deal. Kissing isn't the most important thing in a relationship, but it is pretty vital in relating feelings. So, get over the jitters and doubts - do what you want and go for it. She'll be very happy, and I'd bet you'll feel macho. more to come... |
