How not to lose a girl

 It’s hard enough being a girl. We deal with two-faced friends, the special time of the month and waking up 15 minutes before any male just so we look decent for them at school. I know, it does sound a little over-dramatic. Yet here are some tips for all the men out there who have to deal with us crazy females, and just exactly how to lose them. P.S. these are all my opinions, but please do not let this discourage you from dating a girl.

1. If the first text had no response, try not to send another. Either she is busy or does not want to talk to you. The more you annoy her, the higher chances are she will gossip about you with her friends and avoid eye contact in the hallways. Both of these scenarios cause relationship destruction. Once her friends hear about the repetitive texts, your friends will probably make fun of you for a day or two, and the hallway interactions will become increasingly awkward.

2. Rather than play Call of Duty with friends, call her to hang out. Plain and simple. If a video game in which you shoot Nazi Zombies or jump into jets and kill people proves to be more important than spending time with her, then she probably is not worth your time. She always comes first, and if she does not believe she does, you better hope holding that controller was more fun than holding her hand.

3. Strong words of advice: ignore all girls you know she hates. First, you will cause unnecessary drama, which could end up in a group message with you being the mediator (never a good position when it comes to livid girls). Second, whenever you two are at the same party with the hated girl, eyes will be watching you to see if you slip up and talk to her. If you do, you will never hear the end of it. If you want an excuse to end the relationship, this is the perfect one. Be warned, for the next two weeks “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood will be blasting in her car.

4. A subtweet on Twitter is a bold move. Relationship trust issues clogging up your friends Twitter timeline and a mad girlfriend texting you is like eating a moldy corn dog. No one wants it and when you take a bite you know you did something wrong. She does not want to see how many people retweeted your tweet saying, “high school relationships are pointless, girls will be girls.”

5. If she texts you first, be a gentleman and try to respond every time. The amount of courage it took for her to press the send button is astounding. Every single word was revised, and she probably called at least two of her friends for advice on what to say. By not responding, she will believe you do not care about her anymore and may wonder what activity could be more interesting than talking to her (hanging out with another girl, maybe?).
