1. Let her guilt you into anything
Bear with me, I know this is easier said than done. She put that puppy dog face on, or worse, was flat-out adamant about your Friday evening itinerary which did not include her. A relationship isnt about spending time with each other for the sake of doing it. If shes baselessly leveraging you into sh*t, you need to check yourself (because you have wrecked yourself, dude).
2. Adjust to the whims of her parents
Listen, her dads going to hate you whether youre wearing a sweater vest, suit, poncho, or if you show up buck naked with a handle of tequila. You need to manage her expectations in this regard she fell in love with you and thats who should be presented when you meet her parents. No self-respecting man puts on a show for anyone.
3. Carry her purse while youre shopping with her
I know you paid for that Chanel bag. This fact doesnt make you look any less pathetic toting it while she peruses for more needlessly expensive wares for you to buy for her. Oh, on that note
4. Dont try to buy your way into her pants
You jackass. Youre buying stuff for her? Treat your lady well Im all for it. However, going H.A.M. outfitting this girl in couture is troublesome. Youre no ones ATM and this is 2015 girl wants a new pair of shoes, she should be able to afford it.
5. Be intimidated by feminists
Feminism really is the F word to some of you. Feminism is a movement for the empowerment of women. You should love that. Why? Because it means if or when you find a wife, shes going to complete you emotionally. Its a movement that is great for women and men; its not an army of angry lesbians looking to castrate and maim you.
6. Start fights in public
Shouts to all my brothers out there that have been in the dreaded, but necessary, Dysfunctional Relationship. I capitalize that because a DR is an event of such magnitude that it constitutes being a proper noun. Heres the thing with these: They should happen once or twice in college and then never again. If by day, youre a well-adjusted (and gainfully employed) agreeable human being, and by night youre playing verbal abuse ping-ping with your girl youre getting it wrong. Dont be dragged to that level. However, if this dysfunction is your fault, you deserve it.
7. Financially ruin yourself for show
This is different than spoiling her needlessly. If you cant afford to date you cant afford to date. Be single, eat ramen, and spend what little you have on the gym.
8. Forget whos important
Chasing a new girl? Long term relationship? Cool. Dont forget who fed you while you were in diapers, though. Dont forget who lent you money when you were broke. Dont forget who helped you move into your new apartment. If I were a betting man, Id bet that all of those people arent the girl youre currently in a relationship with.We have a habit of imagining people to be more important than they really are because of how they make us feel. Think about how much time people spend showing how important they are to one another flowers, cards, dinners, clothes, spending time together. You dont have to try that hard with your buddy who helped you in a pinch. The people who are effortlessly close to you are more important than the dime at the end of the bar. Choose wisely.
9. Forget that this is all supposed to be fun
Women are awesome, why are you stressing?
